If you’ve ever had a gel manicure that peeled in a week or felt your natural nails thinning, you are likely missing the structural apex. By creating that perfect curve during your extension application, we add the strength your nails need to handle daily life without snapping. It is about the architecture of the nail, not just the color. ### Precision Meets Passion When we talk about nail care, we are really talking about science. Whether you are dealing with brittle nails or just want a look that lasts, our techniques focus on integrity and health. **The Russian Manicure** This is not your average cleanup. We use an E-file technique to perform a dry, cuticle-focused treatment. It cleans up the skin around the nail bed with incredible precision, giving you that 'fresh-from-the-salon' look that lasts much longer than a traditional soak-off manicure. **Gel-X Extensions** If you want the drama of long nails without the damage of acrylics, this is it. Gel-X uses full-coverage soft gel tips that are cured directly onto your nail. They are lightweight, flexible, and feel like your natural nails, only better. Plus, they do not require the heavy drilling associated with traditional hard gel or acrylic extensions. **Building the Apex** Ever wonder why some extensions break and others hold up for weeks? It comes down to the apex. We ensure a slight curve is built at the one-third mark of your nail bed. This bump acts as a shock absorber. When you accidentally tap your hand on a table or handle a door, the apex takes the pressure instead of your natural nail plate. **Our Hygiene Promise** We believe self-care should be safe. That is why we use single-use liners for pedicures, sterile, fresh tools for every service, and UV-protective gloves during curing. We are an OPI-exclusive salon, meaning you get the best products with over 500 shades to choose from. Your nails are our canvas, and we make sure they stay healthy and strong through every change. ## About Tip & Toe We are the OPI-exclusive spot that brought the chic vibe of U.S. nail salons home to India. Whether you are here for a quick brow fix or a full-on glam session, we are all about making your salon visit feel like a proper escape. Walk in, sink into our massage chairs, and let us handle the rest.
