Points to keep in mind when doing your own nails:

One-point advice to improve quality with just one step ✏️

・Do not file nails back and forth
Be sure to file from one direction, as this can cause split nails!
・Before applying the base coat, thoroughly remove any oil from the surface of your nails.
Please remove it with alcohol that does not contain moisturizing ingredients such as glycerin. This will help your nails last longer.
Apply thoroughly to the tip of the nail
By applying the polish all the way to the tip, you can prevent your nails from lifting or chipping!
・Wipe off any gel that has spilled out from your nails before hardening.
If left on the skin, it can cause a gel allergy!

★ Tips for beginners

・(Nail) Apply stickers
・Try adding nail parts
・Apply mirror powder to the entire nail + top coat
⇨These are ways to make the surface of your nails look beautiful💅
The first thing that beginners struggle with is creating a smooth surface for their nails .
The surface and toes often end up being uneven...
In such cases, one way to cover it well is to use parts or powder !

▲High difficulty for beginners

・Brush art ( thin lines, French designs, marble patterns )
- Use multiple colors on one nail
・Three-dimensional designs using clay gel (such as ring nails)
・Length adjustment
These are pretty high level designs.
It's good for those who enjoy practicing!
If not, it's best to leave it to a professional .

Advantages and disadvantages of gel nails

Benefits ⭕️
・You can relax at home whenever you like
・If you are skilled, you can create the design you want at a low price.
・It's easier to do because it's more relaxing than nail polish.
You can create your own original design

Disadvantages ❌
・It takes time ( 2 hours or more including preparation )
At first, just shaping your nails into an oval shape and applying base gel neatly will take a considerable amount of time!
・Technically it is difficult to achieve the desired results and it is difficult to apply with your dominant hand
- If you want to create various designs, the cost of materials will be high.
You need to be careful about how you store it
・Risk of gel allergy⚠️
・Peel-off nail polish is gentle on the nails but peels off easily .

...So, should I give up on doing my own nails?
That's not true!

Reusable tips for great value!
Easy to put on and take off but won't come off!
With a wide variety of designs, you won't get bored ♡
→These nail tips are super cute and cost-effective ♡

It can be used for three consecutive weeks, which is unusual for a nail tip!

Did you know that for hygienic reasons, nail tips must be removed the night they are worn ?
EVERNAIL uses a special high viscosity glue to prevent water from getting in, which can cause unsanitary conditions.
These magical nail tips can be worn for three weeks straight !
By filling the gap between your natural nail and the tip with high-viscosity glue, the nail tip fits securely and will not come off.

No need to worry about the tip coming off!

The biggest weakness of nail tips is
"Nail tips coming off during daily activities"
"And then you lose your nail tips without realizing it."
With EVERNAIL, you don't have to worry about that!
The special high-viscosity glue fills the gap between your natural nail and the tip, ensuring a secure fit.
To remove it , simply soften the adhesive with hot water and use the included wooden stick to remove it easily!
Another great thing about gel nails is that there is less risk of damaging your natural nails.

The tip is reusable, making it incredibly cost-effective.

"Evergel Tips" are made using a unique patent-pending manufacturing process.
⚫︎ "Special gel tip that bends when heated" for flexible removal
⚫︎ Can be removed cleanly with "special adhesive that can be removed with hot water"
This allows the chip to be reused semi-permanently .
EVERNAIL is more expensive than commercially available nail tips, but compared to gel nails, it's a great deal!

You can even order your favorite colors and designs!

Our professional nail artists at EVERNAIL can create one-of-a-kind nail tips to suit your needs!
Let's design with attention to detail

EVERNAIL's simple and sophisticated design

This time, we will introduce a design that looks simple but requires time and skill to do yourself ♡
The simple design makes it easy to use in any situation , so be sure to find one you like!

Nuance No.050
This is a sophisticated piece with a combination of a smooth matte design and a nuanced marble-like design .
It's difficult to draw thin lines or create nuanced marble patterns by yourself.
It's simple and good for the office too .

Nuance No.057
Purple fuzzy design.
My fingers have a white base, and I layered hologram and purple color gel in the middle, creating a fluffy design.
Both the marbling and hologram embedding require a lot of practice🖋️

Nuance No.033
The soft coloring and wave design make this a very feminine piece.
If your fingertips have a healthy glow, you'll look very sexy.
The wavy lines, which give off a sense of the brush's texture, are a true professional technique .
The fact that each finger has a different design makes it difficult to do it yourself.

Shell French Pale Pink
A delicate and ephemeral holo-french design.
Pale tones enhance the clarity of your skin .
The difficult part of this design is the extremely thin French lines and the well-balanced placement of the holograms.
It's very difficult to draw lines of a consistent thickness in the desired position and to scatter small parts in a balanced manner.

Flower No.009
A simple, slippery nail that you'll want to have at least one of ♡
Not only is the magnetic design of the base impressive, but the soft texture on the fingertips is also impressive.
Flower motifs are also very difficult to draw on the dominant hand side...!

Simple No.002
Cool khaki one-color French.
It may look simple at first glance, but it's actually quite difficult to capture the three-dimensional gold leaf beautifully!
The surface is smooth and the French lines are of a consistent thickness. Each nail is made with care by EVERNAIL's nail technicians who have cleared strict standards .
