Frequently Asked Questions
No, I do not offer pedicures. I have intentionally chosen to specialize in manicures. While I technically know how to perform pedicures, I believe it’s important to grow in the area you truly love. Manicures are my main expertise and focus, and that’s where I deliver the best results.
Yes, I offer nail extensions using dual forms (upper forms). This is a modern technique where the gel form is pressed onto the natural nail, allowing for a very smooth, thin, and aesthetically refined structure.
Compared to traditional extensions using lower forms, this method creates a more natural look, cleaner lines, and perfect symmetry.
After your manicure, it’s important to maintain the health of your skin and cuticles. I always recommend:
- Regular use of cuticle oil
- Daily moisturizing with hand cream
- Using nourishing lotions if your skin is dry
I also provide personalized recommendations during your appointment based on your skin condition and lifestyle.
On average, a manicure lasts between 3 to 5 weeks without lifting.
Of course, longevity depends on your lifestyle, how actively you use your hands, and your individual nail characteristics.
I can usually estimate wear time by looking at your nails and will let you know what to expect in advance.
A Russian manicure is a highly precise technique focused on thorough cuticle and nail plate work using an electric file and/or scissors (combined technique).
It allows for:
- Perfectly cleaned cuticle area
- A neat, polished look
- Smooth and precise gel application
- Longer wear without lifting
The key feature is attention to detail and the aesthetic of a flawlessly clean manicure.
No, I do full nail preparation during your appointment. Just come as you are.
Yes, I can remove previous product if needed.
Yes, absolutely. Any length is fine—I select the shape individually for each client.
I work in a minimalist, clean style. My focus is on nail shape and finish rather than complex designs.
Appointments can be booked online, via messages, or through Instagram. I recommend booking in advance as availability is limited.

Alina Iievlieva
Hello, I’m Alina!
I am a nail artist and nail educator with a European approach to beauty and client care.
I am originally from Ukraine and currently based in Texas, where I continue to grow my craft and help women feel confident, polished, and effortlessly beautiful.My signature style is clean, precise Russian manicure with a European technique influence focused on flawless cuticle work, attention to detail, thin lines, soft shapes, and an overall aesthetic of “elevated minimalism.” I love nude tones, natural beauty, and nails that look elegant in every setting.
For me, nails are more than a service. It is an experience a moment of care, calm, and attention just for you. I believe a true professional not only creates beautiful results but also provides comfort, trust, and a relaxing atmosphere.
Alongside my work as a nail technician, I also teach and share my experience with other aspiring nail artists. It is important for me to inspire, support, and help others grow in this profession.
My clients appreciate my precision, calm energy, honesty, and high standards as well as the genuine love I have for what I do, which always shows in my work.
