Metal nails are small, sharp fasteners made from steel, iron, or other metals. They’re used in construction to join materials like wood or metal. Basically, the “nails” in metalwork are totally different from beauty nails they’re tools, not manicures!

Not exactly. Screws and nails both fasten things together, but a screw has spiral threads and grips tighter, while a nail is smooth and hammered in. So yeah, they do a similar job, but in slightly different ways.

In medical terms, nails are called “onychium” or “unguis” these refer to the hard, protective part made of keratin that grows on your fingers and toes. Basically, the fancy way to say “nails” in doctor language.

Type 47 nails are a kind of steel fixing nail used in construction. They’re made for attaching metal lath or mesh to timber. Not the pretty kind you paint these belong in toolboxes, not salons!

Z nails are industrial fasteners shaped like the letter “Z,” mainly used in fencing or wood framing. They give strong grip where two pieces overlap. Again, totally different world from nail design unless we’re building a nail art studio!

In beauty terms, the natural rounded or almond shape can be weaker if your nails are thin or flexible. Long, sharp styles like stiletto are also more prone to breakage. Shorter square or squoval shapes tend to be sturdier.

NSS stands for Non-Standard Salon or sometimes Non-Standard Service Salon. It’s a term used in the nail industry to describe salons that might not follow proper hygiene, training, or product standards. Always go to trusted, professional salons for safe nail care.

“Virgin nails” just means your natural nails that have never been enhanced or treated no acrylics, gels, extensions, or overlays. Basically, untouched nails in their pure, original state. Nail techs love knowing if your nails are virgin because it helps them decide how to prep or protect them before any service.

Jelly jam nails are those cute, see-through manicures that look like tinted glass or candy. Think glossy, semi-transparent polish in fun colors like pink, orange, or purple kinda like jelly or jam (hence the name). They give off a fresh, playful vibe that’s perfect for summer or Y2K-style nail trends.

Totally. We share easy ideas anyone can try at home, plus advanced looks for when you’re feeling fancy.

Candy nails are bright, glossy, and often translucent nail designs that look like sweet treats or hard candy. Think shiny, juicy colors like peach, cherry red, or bubblegum pink sometimes even with a jelly or glassy finish. They’re fun, colorful, and totally give that “sugar rush but make it fashion” vibe.

Yep, Vaseline can actually be great for your nails! It helps lock in moisture, especially if your nails or cuticles are dry or peeling. Just rub a little on before bed and let it soak overnight. It won’t make your nails grow faster (that’s a myth), but it’ll keep them hydrated and looking healthy.
