Is Forms Extensions Right For You?

If you are tired of ‘cookie-cutter’ nails that feel heavy or pop off easily, sculpted forms are the architectural upgrade your hands deserve. This method is perfect for those who view their nails as a long-term investment rather than a quick fix.

The 'Tip' Skeptic

You dislike the pressure or curvature of standard plastic tips and want an extension that flows seamlessly from your cuticle.

The Shape Shifter

You desire a specific, high-drama shape like a deep almond, sharp stiletto, or crisp coffin that requires precise structural integrity.

The Problem Solver

You have bitten nails, ski-jump nails, or flat nail beds that need correction to look uniform and elegant.

Your Forms Extensions Experience

Sculpting perfection, one finger at a time

Welcome & Prep

Your visit to our Boca Raton lounge begins with a consultation to determine your desired length and shape. We perform a meticulous dry manicure, cleaning the cuticle area and prepping the natural nail plate to ensure maximum adhesion without damage.

The Architecture

Unlike standard manicures, this is where the magic happens. Your technician applies a custom-fit paper form under the free edge of your nail. Using a high-grade builder gel or acrylic, we sculpt the extension directly onto the form, creating a seamless transition from your natural nail to the extended tip.

Refining the Shape

Once the product cures, the form is removed, revealing your new length. We hand-file the structure to perfection, thinning the free edge for a natural look while maintaining the ‘apex’ for strength. This ensures your nails are durable enough for daily life but look delicate and refined.

The Finish

We conclude with your choice of gel polish color or art. A nourishing cuticle oil massage and a hydrating hand cream application leave your skin glowing and your new extensions ready for their debut.

Typical Forms Extensions Tiers

Choose the level of drama that suits your lifestyle

The Natural Sculpt

Designed for active lifestyles, this tier adds a short, protective extension that mimics the look of a natural nail grown out perfectly. Ideal for those who type all day or work with their hands but want uniformity.

The Signature Lounge Length

Our most popular option. This creates a medium length suitable for elegant almond or soft square shapes. It provides enough canvas for nail art while remaining functional for daily tasks in Boca Raton.

The Avant-Garde

For the statement makers. This tier involves long to extra-long sculpting, perfect for dramatic stilettos or deep coffin shapes. Requires extra time for structural building to ensure the nail remains balanced and strong.

Add-Ons & Upgrade Requests

Hard Gel Overlay

Add an extra layer of reinforced hard gel for clients with particularly brittle nails who need maximum shock absorption.

French Ombré (Baby Boomer)

A timeless upgrade where the pink and white sculpting products are faded into each other for a seamless, classic gradient.

Encapsulated Art

Embed glitter, dried flowers, or mylar flakes directly inside the sculpted extension for a depth-defying 3D effect that never chips.

IBX Repair Treatment

An intense repair system applied before the extensions to fuse the upper layers of the nail plate together, perfect for recovering damaged nails.

Common Questions About Forms Extensions

What is the difference between forms and tips?
Tips are pre-made plastic pieces glued to the end of your nail, which can sometimes feel tight or fit poorly. Forms allow us to sculpt the material (gel or acrylic) directly off your natural nail, creating a custom fit that is often stronger and looks more natural.
How long do sculpted extensions last?
With proper care, sculpted extensions are very durable and typically last 3 to 4 weeks before needing a fill. Because they fit your nail bed perfectly, they are less prone to lifting than glued tips.
Is the application process painful?
Not at all. The process involves fitting a sticker guide under your nail and applying gel or acrylic. You might feel a slight 'heat spike' for a second if we use hard gel while it cures in the lamp, but this is normal and fleeting.
Can I choose any shape with forms?
Absolutely. Forms are actually superior for creating specific shapes like stiletto, coffin, or lipstick nails because we build the architecture from scratch rather than filing down a pre-made square tip.
Do forms damage natural nails?
Forms themselves do not damage nails; improper removal or over-filing does. Because we don't use harsh glues to adhere a plastic tip, many clients find their natural nails remain healthier under sculpted extensions.
How often do I need a fill?
We recommend a fill every 2 to 3 weeks. Waiting longer can shift the 'apex' (balance point) of the nail forward, putting stress on your natural nail bed and increasing the risk of breakage.
Can I switch from tips to forms?
Yes. If you currently have tips, we can soak them off and apply a fresh sculpted set. Eventually, as your natural nail grows, we can transition you to a natural nail overlay without needing extensions at all.
Are forms better for bitten nails?
Yes, forms are excellent for nail biters. We can bridge the skin at the fingertip to create a nail plate where there isn't one, giving the illusion of a long, elegant nail bed while preventing you from biting.
Can I do heavy work with these extensions?
Sculpted nails are strong, but they are not tools. While they can handle daily tasks better than press-ons, we recommend wearing gloves for gardening or heavy cleaning to protect the finish and longevity.
Do you use gel or acrylic for forms?
We can use either, depending on your preference and nail type. We often recommend hard gel for its flexibility and crystal-clear finish, or acrylic for clients who need rigid strength.
