About nail art
Nail art covers everything that goes beyond a single colour: French and micro-French tips, chrome and cat-eye finishes, ombré, hand-painted designs, foils, stamping and embellishments such as small crystals. It is usually added to a gel, BIAB or acrylic set and priced per nail or per design, from a simple accent nail to a full set of hand-painted artwork.
The skill varies a great deal between technicians, which is why nail art is the one nail service where a portfolio matters most. Many nail artists post their work on social media and take bookings for specific designs from photographs; seasonal sets for Christmas, Halloween and the summer are a large part of their year.
Simple designs add ten to twenty minutes to an appointment; detailed hand-painting can add an hour. Bring reference images and mention the design when you book so the salon can allow the time.

Frequently asked questions
How much does nail art cost?
Usually £1 to £5 per nail for simple designs, £5 to £15 for a French or chrome finish across the set, and £20 to £50 extra for a full set of detailed hand-painted art.
Can any nail technician do nail art?
Most can do simple designs; detailed hand-painted art is a specialist skill. Look at the technician's portfolio or photos on their listing before booking a complex set.
Does nail art last as long as plain gel?
Yes, when it is sealed under a gel top coat. Raised embellishments such as crystals can catch and come off sooner, especially on the hands you use most.
