FAQs
How do I ask for may foil 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.
Why does the same style change by month?
Palette drift. Technique stays constant; the shades feeding it rotate with seasonal light, wardrobes and search behavior.
Can may foil 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.
