If you love medium or long nails but avoid traditional gel extensions because you worry they might look thick or curved downward, SLIM architecture is designed specifically for you.
During our SLIM extension & refill service (120 minutes), we combine structural physics with a straight upper line and a free edge thinner than one millimetre.
How SLIM Differs from Classic Gel Extensions
On natural nails that grow slightly downward (convex) or have a short nail bed, standard gel application follows the natural slope of the nail. With the SLIM technique:
- We lift the free-edge architecture so the lower parallels sit completely straight along the finger axis;
- We build an internal hidden apex that absorbs shocks while keeping the visible profile sleek and refined;
- We optically slenderise the fingers, creating an editorial finish whether you choose sheer nude, milky white or minimalist French.
How Long It Takes and How It Grows Out
Because SLIM involves architectural repositioning and precision filing underneath, the appointment takes approximately 120 minutes.
The biggest benefit is how the manicure wears over the next 3–4 weeks: as your nail grows, it does not droop downward, maintaining its straight, graceful silhouette until your next visit.
