FAQ
How does a Polished + Stamped Party Work?
You set a date and invite your Nailfriends (your guests!). We arrive at your home or chosen location about 30 minutes before the party to assemble beautiful, inviting Manicure Stations for everyone.
Once we're set up, you and your guests can chat, snack, laugh and get ready to create gorgeous memories together! Everyone will be seated at their stations, where we'll start with inspiration: samples of completed nail designs. Guests then choose from our large collection of nail lacquers, stamping polishes and art design plates to create their manicures. We'll guide everyone through each step of a basic manicure and color application.
Once base manicures are completed, we'll demonstrate the nail stamping technique again. Then, it's time for that magical moment: stamping your own nails! Don't worry, each Nailfriend will get assistance as needed. The topcoat we supply dries in as little at 7 minutes, so you'll be ready to show off your custom nails in no time!
How Long Does a Party Take?
Please allow a minimum of 2 hours for the signature Polished + Stamped instruction and manicure time. This ensures all guests plenty of time to socialize and complete their beautiful manicures. Your party flows the way you want with our event positioned wherever in your schedule works best! For example, some people plan other fun activities before or after, while for others, the nail stamping event is the party.
The Junior Polish Party and Mini + Me Polish Party are each 1.5 hours long.
We do require 30 minutes for setup before your event, and another 30 minutes for tear down (once all manicures are complete). Please consider this when planning your event's total timeline.
