Marbling & More Stiletto's

Layered marbling in Gel:
In these stiletto's I used the same marbling technique, but wanted a softer look, so I used a more opaque gel over the marbling.

Grow into your nails...

Most women agree, we just feel better when we have our nails done!  If our nails can be sparkly and LONG so much the better.  One common problem with getting a new set of enhanced nails (when you're not used to them) is that the sudden length can be hard to deal with.  It can be quite painful to hit an acrylic or gel nail hard enough to break it, and discouraging to walk around with a broken nail.

One way to combat this is to start off with an overlay on your natural nail, and start GROWING out your enhancements.  You can enjoy a lot of design and color (as much as you like) starting with your existing nail length, and get used to your enhancements gradually as your now reinforced nails grow out. 

The best service to start with is a Gel Manicure or a natural nail overlay.  Once your nails are a bit past fingertip length, you will be getting a traditional enhancement service, and can choose from any of the variety of options available!
