French / Baby Boomer Hand-painted French — no stickers, no shortcuts.

Soft white-tip French manicure on short square nails resting on a pink towel beside a cuticle oil tray.

French is one of our most-asked finishes and one of the hardest to get right. We hand-paint every tip — no stickers, no decals — and dial the line thickness to your nail shape. Baby boomer is our soft-gradient version: a milky cuticle blending into a sheer pink free edge. Both can be done in classic white, black, candy red, or any custom colour. Add micro stars, hearts, or a French chrome upgrade.

Best for

Bridal, weekly-photographed clients, and anyone who wants understated polish.

I went in for my friend’s wedding and Mei built me a coffin set in two hours that wore beautifully right through the wedding and the honeymoon. The salon is small and pink and clean. I’m going back for my own birthday next month.

My nails have peeled forever. I tried BIAB at Fresh Set after seeing them on TikTok and three months in I have actual nails for the first time. The cuticle work alone is worth it.

I did NOT need another nail spot in my life. I came in for one chrome French and now I have a standing Friday. The vibe is just so much better than my old place — actual seating area, ring light, real conversations.
