Any ‘babe’ can confirm that a manicure set is more of an investment than a splurge.
Getting one can cost an arm and a leg which means you cannot afford to have a miss the mark of excellence in the color, design, or shape of the nail. Simply unacceptable.
You are allowed to have a miss here and there. Nonetheless, you are not entirely powerless over the process. Not at all. If you take keen intention about it, you are bound to get more slum dunks more often.
Here’s how:
Define the vision
Do a deep dive into the world of colors as it makes for the whole set. Then explore potential designs to spice it up. Consider option two or three to permit the technician some creative freedom to navigate a situation where they can’t execute your vision.
Not defining the vision grossly increases your chances of ending up with a set you despise. Pinterest is the haven for all things fun, summery, edgy, chic, or boho colors and designs. Feel free to get inspiration, copy or mix things up to get your perfect set.
Review the reviews
If you are trying out a new place, a quick background check will come in handy. Stalk them on Instagram, and speak to experienced customers. Things you need to be looking out for include prices, the service, the technician with the golden touch, and designs they’ve done before.
Consultation
This is huge! Chat with the technician about the vision you have in mind and pick their brain. Find out if they have the shade of color you prefer and if they can execute it.
Moreover, inquire the various treatments they have considering the state of your nails. Have them define which best suits you and why. Is it overlays, tips, fillers, or extensions?
Besides this, you get to identify the kind of equipment they use and raise any concerns you might have with any of them.
Open Conversation
On the D-day, reiterate the conversation you had in the consultation stage. Discuss the vision again, check for colors and articulately walk them through the design again. Finally be candid about any concerns during the process to increase chances of having the execution is spot on.
Refuse to feel anything but joy about your manicure set. Follow these simple steps to increase your chance of success or as I like to call it ‘a slam dunk.’
