We prioritize dry buffing and careful cuticle work to prep the nail plate properly, which is the secret to getting 2 to 3 weeks of wear without those annoying chips. If your polish usually peels off in days, it is almost always a prep issue, not a product issue. At TMS Elite Salon, we don't believe in rushed jobs. Our process is designed to balance aesthetic perfection with actual nail health. Here is how we break it down: **Step 1: The Deep Prep** We start by dry buffing the nail plate and gently pushing back cuticles. This removes invisible oils and dead skin that prevent polish from sticking. It is the most important step for longevity. **Step 2: Custom Shaping** Whether you want almond, square, or stiletto, we file for shape and strength. We make sure the edges are clean so they don't snag or peel later. **Step 3: Precise Application** We apply base, color, and top coats in thin, even layers, curing each one thoroughly under our professional UV and LED lamps. This ensures the gel bonds properly and stays chip-free for weeks. **Step 4: Aftercare** We finish with nourishing cuticle oil to keep your skin hydrated. We don't just send you home with pretty nails; we show you how to maintain them at home so you get the most out of your set. We love seeing clients leave with main character energy, and we want that feeling to last until your next visit. ## About TMS by The Glamfusion Studio We’re the team behind TMS, and we believe your nail appointment should be actual therapy.
