FAQs
How do I ask for cute cat eye nails at the salon?
Bring photos (bookmark this page) and name the elements separately — base shade, design style, shape and length. Techs nail references far more often than descriptions.
What makes a design feel "cute" rather than busy?
One motif, two colors maximum, and negative space doing half the work. Restraint reads as confidence.
