FAQs
How do I ask for cute french tip 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.
Can cute french tip nails work as press-ons?
Yes — handmade press-on sellers take custom requests constantly. Order 10+ days ahead for sizing kits, and buy quality glue; it doubles wear time.
