About Behind the Scenes: My Process
We don't just paint nails; we build a foundation. From the initial dry-prep that ensures gel adhesion to the professional-grade UV curing we use for every set, our process is designed to prevent lifting and chipping. Whether you are opting for a classic manicure or intricate extensions, we focus on meticulous cuticle work and precise nail plate shaping first, because a flawless finish is impossible without a perfect, clean canvas.
The secret behind a long-lasting manicure isn't just the polish color. It is in the preparation. At Toe And Nail, we follow a rigorous process to ensure every set looks fresh for as long as possible.
Our Process
- Dry Prep: For all gel services, we use dry-prep instead of water soaking. This prevents the nail plate from absorbing water, which can cause it to expand and lead to lifting later.
- Cuticle Care: We focus on careful cuticle pushing and nipping to create a clean, smooth line around the base of the nail.
- Buffing & Dehydration: We buff the surface to remove the natural shine, ensuring the base coat has something to grip onto. We also apply a dehydrator to remove oils, which is a game-changer for durability.
- Curing: We use professional-grade UV and LED lamps, giving your gel polish that signature rock-hard, high-gloss finish. We ensure the timing is precise so the polish is fully set.
- Product Quality: We use professional brands like Bluesky and GLAM, which offer superior pigmentation and strength compared to standard shelf options.
For those opting for extensions, we build a strong, durable structure using acrylic, hand-shaping each nail to suit your finger shape. Whether you visit our Oshiwara studio or our Chembur salon, the steps remain the same: consistent, detailed, and crafted for your nails. We always finish with a cuticle oil application to keep the surrounding skin healthy and hydrated. If you have been struggling with nails that chip within days, it is likely a prep issue. Come experience the difference of a professional, detail-oriented process.
