Cat eye, chrome, gradient, French and hand-painted work, priced as add-ons at yeux. What Singapore books season by season, and where each finish gives way first.

Nail art in Singapore: cat eye, chrome and hand-painted gel designs on one hand of almond-shaped nails at yeux by qun, Hougang
Fig. 01 · Five finishes on one hand: cat eye, chrome, gradient, French and hand-painted line work. Each one is priced as an add-on, and each one ages at its own pace.图 01 · 一只手上的五种设计:猫眼、墨镜粉、渐变、法式和手绘线条。每一种都是加购项目,每一种变旧的速度也不一样。

Price first, because that is where every message starts. At yeux by qun, design is an add-on charged per service rather than per nail: cat eye +$10, chrome, gradient and French +$20 each, unlimited design with charms +$50. Those numbers stack on whichever manicure tier you book, so a set with art lands between $28 and $118. What no price list tells you is that the finish also decides how the set ages.先说价格,因为每一条询问都从这里开始。在 yeux by qun,设计是加购项目,按整套收费,不按每片算:猫眼 +$10,墨镜粉、渐变、法式各 +$20,无限设计加钻贴 +$50。这些数字叠在你选的美甲档位上,一套带设计的美甲落在 $28 到 $118 之间。价目表不会告诉你的是:选哪一种设计,也决定了这套甲会怎么变旧。

What each finish adds to the bill

每一种设计要加多少钱

The tier sets the floor: Express Gel $18, Full Classic Gel $38, Full Japanese Gel $68, with feet on the same ladder at $28, $48 and $88. Design sits on top. Cat eye over Express Gel is $28. French over Full Classic is $58. Unlimited design with charms over Full Japanese is $118. Since the charge is per service, one accent finger costs the same as all ten.

档位决定底价:Express Gel $18、Full Classic Gel $38、Full Japanese Gel $68,美足同样三档 $28、$48、$88。设计再叠上去:猫眼配 Express Gel 是 $28,法式配 Full Classic 是 $58,无限设计加钻贴配 Full Japanese 是 $118。因为按整套算,只做一片重点甲和十片全做同价。

What Singapore books, season by season

新加坡人一年四季在做什么

Requests here follow the calendar more than the weather. The six weeks before Chinese New Year are red and gold: red chrome, gold foil, one charm per hand. Hari Raya and Deepavali want the same metallics in other palettes. June and December, travel season and office party season, bring hand-painted work and longer French. The rest of the year the common brief is something that reads as plain colour across a meeting room and only shows itself up close.

这里的需求跟着日历走,跟天气关系不大。农历新年前那六周是红金:红色墨镜粉、金箔、一只手一颗钻贴。开斋节和屠妖节同样偏爱金属感,只是换个配色。六月和十二月,出游季加上公司派对季,手绘和长一点的法式就多了起来。其余时间最常听到的要求是:在会议室那头看是纯色,凑近了才看得出名堂。

"In the fortnight before Chinese New Year our Hougang chair is almost all red chrome with one gold charm on each ring finger. We stopped putting charms on index fingers two years ago. Too many clients came back a week later with that one missing, always the finger that catches a bag strap."

「农历新年前那两周,后港这张椅子几乎全是红色墨镜粉,配无名指上一颗金色钻贴。两年前我们就不在食指上放钻贴了。太多客人一周后回来,少的永远是那一颗,因为食指最容易勾到包带。」

Which finishes last, and where they give way first

哪一种最耐,又是从哪里先坏

Art and plain colour age differently, and the difference comes down to where the finish sits. Anything cured under the topcoat, like cat eye pigment or flat hand-painted line work, wears at the same pace as the colour beneath it: two to four weeks. Anything on the surface, or raised above it, goes sooner.

设计和纯色变旧的方式不一样,差别在于这层东西待在哪。混进凝胶里、封层底下固化的部分,比如猫眼色粉和平面手绘线条,耐用度和底下的颜色一样:两到四周。贴在表面、或者凸出来的部分,就快得多。

  • Chrome is a fine powder buffed on and sealed. The free edge loses its mirror first, often by week two, while the rest still looks new.墨镜粉是极细的粉,压在底色上再封层。甲尖最先失去镜面感,通常第二周,其他部分看起来还很新。
  • French puts its smile line on the tip, the part that meets doors, keyboards and MRT handrails. Wear reads as a broken line by week two or three, usually the index finger.法式的微笑线正好在甲尖,那里天天碰门、键盘和地铁扶手。第二三周就会看到线条断掉,多半是食指。
  • Gradient hides small wear and the regrowth gap better than anything else here, so it often still looks presentable in week four.渐变是里面最会藏的:小磨损和甲根空隙都不明显,到第四周通常还见得了人。
  • Charms and 3D work sit above the nail and catch on bag straps, sometimes in the first week. Keep them off the index finger and thumb.钻贴和立体造型凸出甲面,容易勾到包带,有时候第一周就掉。别放在食指和拇指上。

Then the commute. Sunscreen, sanitiser and a sweaty walk to the MRT land on the same surface, and chrome shows it soonest, sliding from mirror to satin at the tips. Cat eye holds up best through that cycle, because the whole effect lives under the topcoat instead of on it.

再来是通勤。防晒、消毒液,加上走到地铁站那一段汗,全落在同一个表面上,墨镜粉最先反应,甲尖从镜面变成缎面。猫眼在这种日常循环里最稳,因为整个效果都在封层底下,不在上面。

Frequently asked questions

常见问题

How much does nail art cost in Singapore?

在新加坡做美甲设计要多少钱?

Usually it is an add-on, not a separate service. At yeux by qun, cat eye is +$10, chrome, gradient and French are +$20 each, and unlimited design with charms is +$50, on top of a $18, $38 or $68 manicure tier. Sets with art land between $28 and $118.

通常是加购,不是独立项目。在 yeux by qun,猫眼 +$10,墨镜粉、渐变、法式各 +$20,无限设计加钻贴 +$50,加在 $18、$38 或 $68 的美甲档位上。带设计的一套落在 $28 到 $118 之间。

Does nail art last as long as plain gel?

带设计的甲和纯色一样耐吗?

It depends where the finish sits. Cat eye pigment and flat painted work cure under the topcoat, so they wear with the colour beneath for two to four weeks. Chrome sits on the surface and dulls at the free edge first, often by week two. Raised charms catch on things soonest.

看这层东西待在哪。猫眼色粉和平面手绘在封层底下固化,跟着底色一起耐两到四周。墨镜粉压在表面,甲尖最先失去光泽,通常第二周。凸起的钻贴最容易勾掉。

Can I get nail art on just one or two nails?

可以只做一两片吗?

Yes, and the price does not change. Add-ons are charged per service, not per nail, so one accent finger costs the same as all ten.

可以,价格也一样。加购按整套收费,不按每片,做一片重点甲和十片全做同价。

Which nail art suits a strict office dress code?

公司着装要求严格的话,做哪种比较好?

Cat eye in deep grey, plum or navy reads as plain colour across a meeting room and only shows its shift up close. A short soft-white French and a single chrome accent nail are the other two we recommend for corporate offices here.

深灰、酒红或藏蓝的猫眼,在会议室那头看就是纯色,凑近了才看得到光的变化。另外两个我们常推荐给写字楼客人的,是柔白色的短法式,和只做一片的墨镜粉重点甲。
