Nails as individual as you are
From a perfect fit to a design that is entirely your own, here is the technology behind every Studio Gloss set.
A set that actually fits
Most press-ons come in a generic pack and hope for the best. Ours begin with your own hands. Put a thumb on the AI Nail Scan and it reads your size in seconds, from extra small through to large, so every set starts from a proper fit rather than a compromise.
Almost every complaint about press-on nails comes back to fit. Too wide and the edges lift. Too narrow and there is a gap at the sidewall. One nail is all it takes to put that right.
Nail art, printed to order
At the heart of every Studio Gloss space is our AI nail-art printer. It brings a design to life on your nails with a level of detail that is close to impossible by hand, and far beyond what most salons can offer without a long appointment and a larger bill.
Fine lines, intricate patterns, artwork that would take a technician hours: the printer lays it down in minutes, cleanly and exactly. What used to be a luxury reserved for special occasions becomes something you can have any day you like.
Some people know exactly what they want. Some need to see it first. Some make it up as they go. All of them are welcome here.
Choose from the library
Hundreds of designs across our collections, from timeless and understated to bold and seasonal. Find the one that feels like you, and wear it out the same day.
Upload your own
A photo, a pattern, a piece of artwork, anything you love. Upload it and we will turn it into a design made for your nails.
Bring your Pinterest
Everybody has a saved set they have never managed to get done. Bring the pin, upload it on screen, and we will work from it.
Draw it yourself
Sketch straight onto the touchscreen, however rough. Our AI reimagines your sketch into a polished, wearable design, so an idea in your head becomes something on your hands.
We cannot print a brand logo or artwork that belongs to someone else, but we can almost always do something in the same spirit.
“Detailed nail art used to mean a long appointment and a large bill. Now it takes minutes, and it is entirely your own.”
Kinder by design
The technology is only half of it. What our nails are made of matters just as much.
Our press-ons are made from acrylic rather than cheap plastic, so they look and wear like a proper salon set, and they are HEMA-free, one of the ingredients most often behind irritation and allergy in traditional gels.
Our UV-free gel wraps are made with pre-cured gel, which means the strength and the shine are already locked in during manufacture. What would normally need a lamp to set is done before the wrap ever reaches you, so you get a real salon finish at home with no UV at all. They are vegan, and they need no acetone to come off.
The slow half of what we do
Printing is one option, not the only one. Every set in our own collection is built by hand rather than printed. The base is layered and cured nail by nail, the art is painted on with a brush, and the finer work, the tiny French lines, the lace, the hand-drawn bows, the crystals set one by one along a smile line, is done under a lamp with a steady hand. A detailed set can take hours.
That is why no two sets are quite identical, and why they look like a salon manicure rather than a sticker. They come off at the end of the night, go back in the box, and go back on whenever you want them.
The self-serve side
Our Express machines bring all of this to a self-serve screen. Start by placing your thumb on the AI Nail Scan, which reads your size, from XS to L, in seconds.
Then choose how you want to wear it. Pick a plain set and have a design from the touchscreen printed straight onto it, or choose one of our handmade sets to take home or put on wherever you are. No appointment and no queue.
They sit in shopping centres and on university campuses, so a set is never further away than the walk you were already doing.
See it for yourself.
The whole experience comes together at a Studio Gloss Nail Bar or Express.
