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. ## About Toe & Nail At Toe And Nail, we treat every hand like a blank canvas waiting for art. We are all about creating that perfect, glossy finish that makes you feel like a star, whether you are visiting our Oshiwara studio or dropping by Chembur.
