We sculpt a secure apex for durability and a smooth base for your French tip. It helps reduce chips and breaks when cared for well. How long do extensions last? Most clients return for an infill at 2 to 3 weeks. Longevity depends on your natural nails, lifestyle, and aftercare. We will advise the best schedule for you. Can I customise the French tip? Yes. Choose classic white, soft white, a thin or deeper smile line, or a tailored shade to suit your skin tone. We will map the tip to balance your nail shape. Will this damage my nails? No when applied and removed correctly. We prep gently and avoid aggressive filing. Please do not pick or peel the product, as that can cause damage. Is removal included in this service? Removal is a separate appointment. Please book removal if you are wearing gel, acrylic, or BIAB. We perform safe, professional removal to protect your nails.
