FAQs
How do I ask for simple milky 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 "simple" rather than busy?
One motif, two colors maximum, and negative space doing half the work. Restraint reads as confidence.
Can simple milky 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.
