What Tier 2 Includes
Tier 2 Designs is an add-on that delivers moderately intricate accents and patterned nail art to a manicure, pedicure, or full set. It focuses on personalized details—encapsulated glitter, small florals, rhinestone accents and other measured embellishments—that lift a base service without turning the appointment into a full custom sculpture.
This add-on is priced at $30 and takes 30 minutes; those exact figures apply per set and are added to your chosen base service. Many clients pair Tier 2 designs with acrylic, builder gel, or Gel‑X sets; your technician will confirm compatibility during the initial consultation.
How We Plan Your Design
Designing starts with a short consultation where you share inspiration images and the technician reviews size, placement, and color choices. Because Tier 2 is moderately detailed, techs balance visual complexity with nail shape and thickness, choosing placements that look intricate yet stay comfortable and structurally sound.
Book early for May, October, and December when requests spike for prom, Halloween, and holiday looks. Our downtown Chula Vista location near Third Avenue Village offers evening and weekend slots for commuters and families; reserving both the base service and the $30 add-on helps secure the technician time you need.
Care and Longevity Factors
Durability depends on application and daily wear. Clients report clean, long-lasting finishes with minimal chipping for three weeks or more when nails are properly shaped and sealed. Technicians spend time matching thickness and edges so accents don’t create stress points that lead to lifts or breaks.
Chula Vista’s mild Mediterranean climate is gentle on polish, but frequent handwashing or heavy use can shorten wear. For longer-lasting ornate looks, ask about builder gel options or regular fills; technicians can plan follow-up appointments to maintain the design over time.
