About the service
Artificial nails give you the length, shape and strength that natural nails often lack. Sculpting means we build the nail from gel or acrylic directly on your own nail, in the length, shape and colour you like. We work at ICONO STUDIO, Bělehradská 77 in Prague 2.
We offer new gel or acrylic nails with colour, refills of existing nails and Gel X nails. You can add nail art to any option – from single-colour accents through French tips and ombré to rhinestones and hand-painting. The full prices are in the tables below and in the price list.

Options & prices
Complete nail sculpting with colour. If you add a hand spa in the package, you pay 50 CZK more than for the sculpting alone and leave with tidy, pampered hands.
As your nail grows, the line between the natural nail and the sculpted nail moves up. A refill evens it out, restores the shape and refreshes the colour. It is cheaper than a new set.
A modern technique in which the nail is extended with pre-shaped gel tips. The result tends to feel light and look natural. The price is the same as for new gel or acrylic nails with colour.

Our advice
Gel is a flexible material that is cured in a lamp. Gel nails feel light and natural, so they suit everyday wear and anyone trying artificial nails for the first time.
Acrylic is made by mixing a liquid with a powder and hardens in the air. It is strong and suits longer or bolder shapes. A typical smell is noticeable during application.
Gel X uses pre-shaped gel tips. It is a modern alternative for anyone who wants an extension with a light result.
Nail shape: the most common are square, round, oval, almond and coffin. Square and round are practical, oval and almond visually lengthen the fingers and coffin is bold and fashionable. We will choose the shape together – feel free to bring some inspiration.
If you want extra-long nails, expect a surcharge – the price list shows it as 50, 150 and 200 CZK. Not sure? Tell us how you use your hands and how long you want your nails to be, and we will recommend the material and the shape.
Good to know
Gel has a liquid or thicker gel-like consistency, has little to no noticeable odour, provides medium hardness and is cured under a UV/LED lamp. It has good adhesion, a smooth glossy finish and feels lightweight and natural on the nails.
It is suitable for nails with few imperfections and for clients whose daily activities do not involve heavy manual work. Gel is generally softer and more flexible, so removal is usually quicker.
Acrylic is created by combining acrylic powder with liquid monomer. It has a characteristic smell, is harder and more durable than gel, and air-dries without the need for a UV/LED lamp.
It is particularly suitable for long nail extensions, creating and correcting nail shapes, nails with imperfections, and clients who frequently use their hands for manual work.
However, there is no rule that short nails must always be done with gel. A thin layer of acrylic works well on short nails too, making them stronger while keeping a natural appearance. Whether gel or acrylic is more suitable also depends on the individual condition and characteristics of your natural nails.
A modern nail extension method using soft gel tips (Soft Gel Tips), providing a natural appearance and a very lightweight feel on the nails.
A mild warming or burning sensation while curing gel under the lamp is completely normal. The intensity of the heat may vary from one appointment to another. If the gel feels hotter than during your previous appointment, this may be because the natural nail is slightly thinner after the old gel has been removed, or because the layer of gel being cured is thicker.
If it feels too hot, simply remove your hand from the lamp for a few seconds and then place it back inside.
Not sure whether to choose gel, acrylic or a polish? CND Shellac is thin, can be soaked off and lasts from around 10 days to 3 weeks. Gel polish (Gellak) is harder, has stronger adhesion and usually lasts longer, but removal often needs an electric nail drill. More on the Manicure page.
