Professional Manicure
<-- From THIS ................ To THIS -->
With the help of a skilled nail technician and nail design artist, the transformation from an ugly fingernail to an attractive one is evident. No airbrush was used, the flower design nail art was painted by hand. This flowery nail art may be a bit over the top, but it is not really a needed step in the nail repair process.
The decision between a natural manicure, or the application of acrylic or gel nails is often a tough one. A natural manicure could not have repaired the abused nail the way gel did. (Nail pictures taken at Venus Nails, Fenwick Island, DE)

 A talented nail technician has strengthened and lengthened the battered nail with gel before artfully decorating it with a glittery base and a hand-painted nail enamel flower.

Nail Care Products, manicure and pedicure supplies to help enhance the appearance of your hands and feet - fingernails and toenails.
Nail pictures below represent various stages of having a professional manicure with a full set of acrylic nails or gel nails. The results are similar, but the process of applying the acrylics or the gel is a bit different. The products are also different. The acrylics create a bit of a harder nail layer but the gels are a bit easier (heathier) on the surface of the nail, the nail plate. |
 This nail is not too bad to start with, not like the rough nail in the photo at the top of the page. |
 This is the end result - after applying a full nail set to this customer's hands. The nail art is not a necessary step and was done, in this case, only for illustrative purposes. |
 Nail tip being fitted. It can't be too wide or too narrow - it needs to look natural when it is blended into the real fingernail with acrylic or gel. |

Nail tips in place - glued on with Cyanoacrylate (super) Glue. |

Cut but not trimmed. Awaiting the application of the acrylic or gel |
 Applying the acrylic with a special brush - and a set of skillful hands. |
 Acrylic and gel has been put on these nails. Can you tell which is which. Hint: the acrylic has not yet had the shine coat applied. In the end result the acrylic nail look a bit pinkish in color, while the gel is more natural. |
 Nail polish lined up waiting for you to make a selection. Or, why not go all-out and go for the nail art? If you get tired of it, a little nail polish remover takes it off. |
 A base coat with a slight glitter has been applied as a surface on which to paint the designs. You can see a big difference here, when compared to the unpolished nails to the left. |
 The tools of the trade - a variety of nail art brushes. Thick and thin brushes are needed for applying the intricate parts of these tiny nail art designs. |
 Our nail artist at work and using the tools of her trade. The brush tip must have just the right amount of polish to flow freely onto the newly prepared nail surface. |
 Nail art palm tree and fish - as seen by the customer. These attractive nail designs are sure to attract compliments on your manicure. |

Nail art samples. Obviously, the shorter the nail, as on our model customer, the smaller the design must be. |
