Our services

Gel Polish

Is made with the best quality of products you can find in the nail’s’ industry. It lasts for around 3 to 5 weeks. We recommend our clients to come for a fresh set within 2 to 3 weeks after the previous set. Gel polish cures in a lamp, once dried, there are no chances of smudging.
High quality press on nails handmade by Sof Nails in New Zealand, crafted using vegan/ cruelty free gel polish. They are completely customized.

Builder in a Bottle

Builder in a bottle (BIAB) is our favorite product, it is used as an overlay to add extra strength over natural nails. BIAB looks like gel polish but a difference between them is that BIAB keeps your natural nails strong, healthy, and longer allowing your natural nails to grow. This is perfect to add to your gel polish manicure service if your nails need extra support while growing out. It lasts between 3 and 5 weeks. We recommend to do in fill every 2 to 3 weeks to keep your nails healthy and long.

Sculpt Acrylic Extensions

Acrylic set is the best way to get extension on bitten nails as well as normal nails. The nails will look natural thanks to the American techniques also, because of the good quality of the products. Sof Nails doesn’t use plastic tips to do acrylics extensions, she sculpts nails achieving super natural nails looks and long lasting (between 3 to 4 weeks, recommending infill every 3 weeks.)

** Sof Nails recommends to get “acrylic” for bitten nails. Once the nails have grown back, the recommendation would be to get “Builder in a Bottle” (BIAB) on the natural nail as overlay.

Sof Nails is a very creative nails artist who does a big range of Nails designs. These designs can go from simple to more complex such as realistic. Sof Nails specializes in hand painted designs. She loves and enjoys getting inspired by what her clients show her and ask for. She also loves when her clients trust on her and let her create a personalized design based on what they want.

Press on Sof

High quality press on nails handmade by Sof Nails in New Zealand, crafted using vegan/ cruelty free gel polish.

All nails are made to order and take up to 10 working days to produce from date of order, this does not include shipping times.

Nails are reusable (using the adhesive) and supplied with a glue (last 3/4 weeks +/- ) , an adhesive (last 2 days +/-) and an application kit, please see my Instagram Highlights @sofnailsnz for details on how to apply for long lasting results. 

Please make sure to measure your nails carefully using my guide provided and a soft measuring tape.                     

⚠️Nails can not be returned for hygiene reasons, and the customer is responsible for ordering the correct size, if you are unsure please order a sample sizing kit (sample pack)⚠️

Sizing

When you have measured your nails convert the mm measurement into the nail size 11-0 using the guide provided and either select one of the prefix sizes. 

To ensure you’re getting the correct set size, measuring your nails or ordering a “SAMPLE PACK” is highly recommended.

How to size 
Using a small soft measuring tape (sold at your local craft store, Warehouse , Kmart, Paper Plus, etc) measure the widest part of your nail bed on each finger starting with your thumb. *only nail bed, not skin around nail* Be sure to measure in MM. 

It is always good to be a half size bigger if need be than smaller, if too small, your nail could pop off easily by not being flat on the nail bed. In addition, you can fit the nail with the file provide in the application kit.
