Pricing Guide
Basic Accent Art & Foils

- Decals: Application of high-quality water decals as an alternative to hand painting.
Finish & Durability

- Ombré: Seamless two-color blending (e.g., Baby Boomer Pink & White) using sponge or brush techniques.
- Chrome & Effects: Rub-on metallic powders (Silver, Gold, Holographic), glazed donut pearlescent looks, or magnetic Cat Eye effects.
Application Process

- Themes: Includes floral vines, fruits, abstract retro swirls, geometric blocking, or specific character art.
- Customization: Color matching to specific references or outfits.
Materials & Execution
- Tools: Execution using ultra-fine liner brushes (00/000 size) and dotting tools.
- Product: Use of high-viscosity, highly pigmented Art Gels for single-coat opacity and sharp details.
- Layering: Flash curing between colors to prevent design smudging.
3D Sculpture & Stone Work
Structural Design

- Charms: Attachment of metal or resin charms (bows, butterflies, teddy bears).
Adhesion & Integrity
- Bonding: Use of professional Jewelry Gel or resin glue to prevent detachment.
- Snag-Proofing: Gap filling around larger stones with clear gel to prevent catching on hair or clothes.

About Nail Art & Design
Nail Art That Speaks for Itself
At The Nail Affair, it's all about making your nails look wow and letting your personality shine. I care about the little details and believe that your nails should match your mood, whether you want something subtle or full-on drama.
What I Do Best
- Hand-painted floral nails, modern French tips, ombré, and gradients that look smooth and fresh.
- Chrome effect manicure and 3D nail charms for those who want texture, shine, and that extra pop.
- If you want quirky animal prints, abstract swirls, or color block nail designs, just say the word - I love experimenting.
Your Ideas, My Canvas
Got a Pinterest screenshot or a wild idea? I’m up for it. Natural nails or extensions (gel/acrylic), I work with both. If you want something simple or something super intricate, I’ll give it my best shot.
For Special Occasions
Indian bridal nail art is my jam - I know how to match designs with your mehendi and outfits. Think elegant whites, gold or silver glitter fades, and those tiny pearl or butterfly details.
Real Talk
I’m not about rushing or cookie-cutter designs. You might need to sit for a bit, especially for detailed stuff, but I promise it’s worth it. I want you to leave loving your nails, plain and simple.
