Every client brings a different vision, and for me, it’s not just about doing nails—it’s about understanding and bringing that vision to life with care and detail.
For this particular set, the client wanted a sharp, elegant look, so we decided on stiletto-shaped nails. I started by carefully removing the old set and giving her natural nails a thorough clean. Before applying the new tips, I made sure to discuss the desired length with her—she wanted something sleek and eye-catching, but still comfortable enough for daily activities. I trimmed and shaped the nails precisely to her preference, ensuring they complemented her fingers and lifestyle.
When it came to color, she asked for a natural pink base—but with a twist: she didn’t want any transparency. To achieve that soft yet opaque effect, I used a nude acrylic base and layered it with a natural pink polish. The result was a seamless, clean look that felt natural but offered full coverage.
She also wanted a bit of artistic flair—something fun and bold but still cohesive. We chose to do some animal-inspired designs on the French tips, including patterns like snakeskin, cow print, and zebra. Each nail became a mini canvas, giving the whole set a unique and stylish edge.
In the end, she absolutely loved the result. The sharpness, the natural tone, and the custom designs all came together perfectly. Throughout the process, we chatted, shared laughs, and worked together to create a look that truly reflected her personality. It’s moments like these that remind me why I love what I do—connecting through creativity and making someone feel confident and seen.
To top it all off, when it was time to check out, she received an additional 5% off as one of our VIP members. Even better—her punch card had reached the 5-visit mark, earning her an extra $5 off. Such a sweet surprise!
As we wrapped up, she mentioned she’s already planning her next set for her birthday next month—and of course, she’s keeping an eye out for the perfect design. With her upcoming $35 birthday discount from the salon, it’s going to be another fabulous set. I can’t wait to bring her birthday nails to life!
