A detailed design, like a specific character or 3D sculpting, takes between 15 to 45 minutes per nail to ensure the lines are crisp and the colors pop. If you have a specific reference image, send it over before your appointment so we can have the right tools and shades ready. Hand-painting is an art form. Unlike basic sticker applications, we use fine-tip brushes and high-pigment gel colors to bring your ideas to life. Whether you want your pet's face, a specific cartoon character, or a trendy 3D element like a raised bow or water drop, the process requires precision and focus. We often get requests for mix-and-match sets, which combine different textures like chrome accents with cute doodle patterns. Because we work on both natural nails and extensions, you don't need extra length to get creative. Even short, natural nails work perfectly for minimalist smiley faces or tiny floral accents. ### Common Questions **How long does character art last?** With proper sealing and high-quality gel products, detailed art typically stays chip-free for 3 to 4 weeks. We use hard gel to secure heavy stones or 3D charms so they don't snag. **Can I bring my own design?** Absolutely. We love a challenge. Show us your Pinterest board or Instagram inspo, and we will translate it to your nails. If you aren't sure, tell us your general mood—playful, moody, or classic—and we can freestyle something that fits. **Do you offer pedicures for these designs?** Yes. We believe your feet deserve the same love as your hands, so we extend our full range of character art and custom designs to our pedicure services as well. ## About Sobo Nail Salon We are The Sobo Nail Salon, and we believe nails should be as loud or as chill as you are.
