How to get the best results from our robot.
Prep
Remove old polish, file and shape
•
File your nails to the length and shape you prefer.
•
Come to your appointment with clean, bare nails. If you forget to remove your polish, we have polish remover but can not remove gel.
Pro Tip
Leave at least a sliver of “white” at the tip of your nails—that space where the nail starts to separate from the skin it protects.

First Timer?
There’s a bit of a learning curve in operating our robot. Typically people take 10-30 min for their first time. Once you learn how to keep your fingers steady and relaxed, painting will go much faster and you'll be in and out in 10 minutes or less!
