FAQ
Astral Hue Nails | Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Astral Hue Nails "premium"?
We don't use standard plastic tips. Every set is handcrafted using Après Gel-X soft-gel tips; the same professional system used in luxury salons. This ensures your nails are lightweight, durable, and have a natural "apex" curve that looks like a real manicure.
How do I know my size?
Getting the perfect fit is key to a long-lasting set! We highly recommend ordering an Astral Hue Sizing Kit before your first purchase. Alternatively, you can follow the standard Après Gel-X preset sizes shown on the Sizing Guide page by clicking here.
Note: Since we use Après Gel-X, our sizing may differ slightly from other brands.
How long do they stay on?
It all depends on your application and lifestyle:
- With Nail Glue: 2-3 weeks (perfect for long-term wear)
- With Adhesive Tabs: 1-3 days (perfect for an event or a weekend "vibe")
Every order includes a prep kit with both options!
Are the nails reusable?
Yes! Because we use high-quality gel and Après tips, our nails are very durable. If you use adhesive tabs, you can simply peel them off and wear the nails again. If you use glue, we recommend using an inexpensive electric nail file (e-file) to gently buff away dried glue from the back of the nail before reapplying.
Can I get a custom design?
We love bringing your cosmic visions to life! Custom sets can be ordered after negotiating the design (colors, effects, art, etc.) and the cost of creation. All you need to do is use the form on the Contact page to start sharing your cosmic vision with an artist.
How do I remove them without damaging my nails?
Never "pop" or pull your nails off! To remove, soak your hands in warm water with soap and a little bit of olive oil for 10-15 minutes. This will loosen the bond so the nails slide off safely.
