Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between glazed and chrome nails?

Glazed finishes have a soft, milky sheen, while chrome is a highly reflective, mirror-like finish. Glazed is generally more subtle and versatile for everyday wear.

Are pearl finishes suitable for the workplace?

Yes, most pearl and glazed designs are subtle enough for professional settings while still adding a polished shine.

Do glazed press-on nails need special care?

No special care is needed beyond standard press-on maintenance — avoid abrasive scrubbing, which can dull the glazed sheen over time.
