Sculpted manicures on natural nails represent an advanced technique in the nail industry that enhances the natural nails’ strength. This method involves the use of a hard gel to shape the nails. Understanding the process and benefits of sculpted manicures can help you decide if this nail treatment is right for you!
What are Sculpted Manicures on Natural Nails?
Sculpted manicures on natural nails involve applying a layer of hard gel directly onto the natural nail to enhance its shape and strength. Unlike traditional nail extensions that require adding artificial tips, sculpted manicures focus on working with the existing nail, making them suitable for those who prefer to maintain their natural nail length but want additional reinforcement and a polished look.
The process generally includes the following steps:
Preparation
The natural nails are cleaned, shaped, and lightly buffed to create a smooth surface. Our nail technicians then do cuticle work to ensure a clean application.
Primer Application
A primer or bonding agent is applied to the nails to ensure the hard gel adheres properly.
Sculpting
Using a small brush, our nail technicians apply layers of the hard gel to the natural nail. It is carefully sculpted to enhance the nail’s shape and smooth out any imperfections.
Curing
For PURE SCULPT MANICURES, each layer is cured under a UV or LED lamp.
Finishing Touches
Once the hard gel is set, the nails are filed and buffed to the desired shape and smoothness. This step ensures a flawless finish and prepares the nails for polish or nail art.
Polish and Nail Art
The sculpted nails can be left natural, painted with polish, or finished off with nail art, depending on your preference. If you want to book nail art, be sure to book with your appointment!
