Key Takeaways:
What is TPO-free care and why should I choose it?
TPO-free care uses gel and builder products formulated without the photoinitiator TPO (trimethylbenzoyl diphenylphosphine oxide). Many clients prefer TPO-free options for reduced chemical exposure or when they have sensitivities. Lincoln CT Nail Spa offers TPO-free alternatives that deliver salon performance while using different photoinitiators. Ask your technician about TPO-free options when you book.
How long will my Nail Arts manicure last?
Answer: Durability depends on the specific service (regular gel, BIAB/Builder-in-a-Bottle, or extensions), your daily activities, and aftercare. Most salon-quality Nail Arts last about 2–4 weeks. Builder overlays (BIAB) and proper infills can extend wear. See our aftercare tips for ways to make your design last longer.
Can I get hand-painted designs on natural nails?
Yes. Our artists can hand-paint delicate designs directly on natural nails or on gel overlays. For extremely detailed or textured 3D work we may recommend a light overlay or tip to give the artist a more durable canvas.
Is TPO-free gel as durable as regular gel?
Modern TPO-free formulations are created to match the gloss, adhesion, and durability of traditional gels. If you want to confirm product selection, ask for product details or MSDS on our Product Safety page.
How should I prep my nails before a Nail Arts appointment?
Try to arrive with clean, polish-free nails. Avoid heavy hand cream just before the appointment. Our tech will perform standard prep — cuticle care, light buffing, and a clean surface — to ensure the best adhesion and finish.
At Lincoln CT Nail Spa, we believe your nails are more than just a detail—they’re an expression of your personal style, creativity, and confidence. That’s why our mission is to transform every appointment into an experience that leaves you feeling pampered, polished, and proud of your look.
Whether you’re searching for breathtaking nail art designs, flawless manicures, or long-lasting finishes, our team of skilled nail artists is here to bring your vision to life. From classic, timeless looks to bold, imaginative nail art, we specialize in turning your nails into a true canvas of self-expression.
Your health and safety are just as important to us as beauty. That’s why we’re proud to offer TPO-free care options and use only high-quality, professional-grade products designed to protect the strength of your natural nails while enhancing their beauty. Every service is performed with precision, care, and attention to detail in a clean, welcoming, and relaxing environment.
At Lincoln CT Nail Spa, we don’t just do nails—we create experiences. Whether it’s for a special occasion, a moment of self-care, or your regular beauty routine, you’ll always leave our spa with nails that are as stunning as they are healthy.

TPO-free care — what it is and why it matters
TPO (trimethylbenzoyl diphenylphosphine oxide) is a photoinitiator commonly used in gel nail formulations to help the product cure quickly under LED/UV light. Concerns about safety and recent regulatory changes have pushed many brands and salons to offer TPO-free alternatives. Lincoln CT Nail Spa proudly offers TPO-free care options for clients who prefer gentler formulas or who are following medical or regulatory guidance.
Switching to TPO-free formulations often keeps the same performance — glossy finish, strong adhesion, and excellent wear — while using different photoinitiators or safer resin systems. If you’re pregnant, have chemical sensitivities, or simply want a “cleaner” product lineup, ask about our TPO-free services when you book.
For context on recent regulatory updates concerning TPO and the nail industry, see official guidance and reporting from trusted industry sources. (We keep our staff training and products up to date with regulatory developments.)

Top Nail Arts trends & techniques for the season
Nail Arts is always evolving. This season we’re seeing three major directions:
- Minimalist negative space: Clean geometry and translucent sections paired with tiny details.
- Painterly florals & landscapes: Freehand brushwork that looks like a miniature painting on each nail.
- Textural finishes: Matte + gloss combos, chrome powders, and soft 3D effects.
Our technicians will advise which techniques best suit your nail health and lifestyle so your manicure lasts and looks great.
Aftercare for lasting Nail Arts
Great Nail Arts start in the salon and are maintained at home. Follow these tips:
- Wear gloves for heavy cleaning and avoid harsh detergents without protection.
- Moisturize cuticles daily with our salon-recommended oil.
- Avoid prying or using nails as tools — keep a nail file handy for quick fixes.
- Schedule infill or refresh appointments every 2–4 weeks depending on the service.
Safety, ingredients, and TPO-free product choices
Ingredient safety is important. Many reputable brands now produce HEMA-free and TPO-free gel lines designed to reduce allergy risk and meet stricter regulations — while keeping professional performance. If you have known sensitivities, tell us and we’ll recommend the best TPO-free or low-irritant product for you.
We also maintain open communication about ingredients. If you’d like product lists or MSDS sheets for our TPO-free lines, ask a technician or visit our Product Safety page.
