How it works.

What happens at your nail extensions appointment, step by step.

  1. Consult

    Show your artist a picture or describe the look. They check your natural nails and suggest acrylic, gel, Gel-X or temporary.

  2. Prep

    Cuticles are cleaned up and the nail surface is prepared so the extension bonds well.

  3. Build and shape

    The extension is applied, then filed to the shape and length you chose: almond, oval, square, coffin or stiletto.

  4. Finish

    Colour, chrome, cat-eye or art goes on top, sealed with a glossy top coat.

  5. Aftercare

    Your artist explains how to care for the set and when to come back for a refill, usually every three to four weeks.

Good questions.

How much do nail extensions cost in Bhopal at The Nail Story?

Acrylic extensions are ₹2,800, gel extensions ₹2,500, soft gel or Gel-X ₹2,200 and temporary extensions ₹1,500. A gel overlay on your natural nails is ₹1,500, gel refilling is ₹1,700 and extension removal is ₹600.

What is the difference between acrylic, gel and Gel-X?

Acrylic is a powder and liquid that is sculpted onto the nail and hardens in the air, so it is strong and suits longer shapes. Gel is brushed on and cured under a lamp, which gives a flexible, glossy finish. Soft gel tips such as Gel-X are pre-shaped full-cover tips fixed with gel, so they are light and quick. Temporary extensions are for a short spell, such as one big event.

How often do extensions need a refill?

Extensions are usually refilled every three to four weeks, as your natural nail grows out underneath. Gel refilling at the studio is ₹1,700.

Can I choose the shape and length?

Yes. Bring a picture or tell your artist what you like, and they will confirm the shape and length that suit your natural nails.

What happens if a nail chips after my appointment?

Message the studio and book a fix. We repair it free of charge.

How do I take extensions off safely?

Book an extension removal (₹600) instead of peeling them off. Peeling can lift layers of your natural nail with it.
