The Artist
A quiet obsession with elegant detail.
Lins Nails CPT is a private studio on Long Street in the Cape Town City Centre, built around one belief — a beautiful set is never rushed. Every appointment is a considered consultation and a design shaped to your hands, your wardrobe and your week ahead.
From soft nude overlays to hand-painted nail art, the work is trend-aware and detail-led: precise cuticle lines, balanced apex, and a considered finish.

Aftercare
Nail care, the Lins way.
Beautiful nails deserve beautiful aftercare.
01
Keep Them Hydrated
Apply cuticle oil regularly to keep the cuticles and surrounding skin nourished and your nails looking fresh.
02
Treat Your Nails Like Jewellery
Your nails are not tools. Avoid using them to open cans, scratch surfaces, lift objects or perform tasks that place unnecessary pressure on the enhancement.
03
Protect Them During Cleaning
Wear gloves when washing dishes, cleaning or gardening. Extended exposure to water and household cleaning products can affect nail enhancements and the surrounding skin.
04
Don't Pick or Peel
If a nail starts lifting or the product begins to chip, do not pull or peel it off. Book a maintenance or removal appointment instead.
05
Avoid Prolonged Soaking
Try to avoid prolonged soaking of the nails and unnecessary exposure to excessive heat or harsh chemicals.
06
Keep Up With Maintenance
As your natural nails grow, your enhancement requires professional maintenance. Regular appointments help keep the set looking its best and allow the nail artist to check for lifting, cracks or other issues.
07
Professional Removal
When you're ready for a new set, have the product professionally removed whenever possible. Never force, peel or scrape the enhancement away from the natural nail.
