Frequently Asked Questions

What are gem nails?

Gem nails feature jewel-inspired effects - either literal gem embellishments or polish techniques that mimic precious stones like opals, diamonds, and prisms.

Are gem nails too much for everyday?

Softer options like Diamond Nude offer everyday jewel luxury, while full designs like Prism Parade are best for events and celebrations.

How do opal nails get their color shift?

Opal effects use iridescent pigments that refract light at different wavelengths depending on viewing angle, creating the signature color-shifting play that makes opals so mesmerizing.
