How long before the occasion should I book?
One to three days pre-event keeps gel crisp through prep chaos without looking overdue.
Can minimalist birthday 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.
