Nail architecture
Beauty comes from proportions, not decoration.
01
Nails that hook downwards
They look less elegant than straight ones. Even with little material they look bulky, and the gel sits in the wrong places.
02
We lift the nail
No piles of material at the cuticle, in the middle or at the tip. The side walls straight and where they belong.
03
The apex sits in the stress zone
The highest point of the nail goes exactly where it takes the most strain. There, and only there, the material is thickest.
04
Thin and strong
Thin, strong nails that last from one appointment to the next.
The longer I live in Alicante and look at its buildings, the more I see it: a good manicure follows the same rules as a beautiful building. It has balance, a frame and proportions. That is why some nails look expensive even without a complicated design.
Before → after
From before to wow.
When nails need more than just a coat of gel, the real work begins. Shape. Balance. Length. Proportion.
Wear
“Nothing ever lasts on me…”
That’s how many new clients arrive.
3–4weeks
My goal: in 3–4 weeks your nails should look as if the manicure was done yesterday.
Do you know when lifting really starts? Not after a week, not after cleaning, not at the gym. It starts the moment the nail tech begins working.
Three mistakes
- Cuticle work left unfinished. For a nail tech it’s like hanging wallpaper on a dusty wall.
- Wrong architecture. At the first knock, all the strain goes where it shouldn’t.
- One material for everyone. No two nails are the same.
A private room
Safety, chemical safety included.
Sterile tools, the state of the nail plate, what the previous work left behind: these aren’t details or perfectionism. They are the basics your health depends on.
Sterilisation
- Ultrasonic cleaning
- Drying
- Kraft pouch with indicator
- Dry-heat steriliser, 60 minutes
300+ shades
One number on the swatch, the same number on the bottle cap. You pick a number, I find the shade in seconds.

I want to thank my nail tech with all my heart for her amazing work! ❤️ I came to her with nails badly damaged by a bad manicure: the nail plate was damaged, the architecture was off, and my nails looked nothing like I wanted. Irochka literally brought my nails back to life: she carefully restored the architecture, corrected the shape and treated the nail plate itself very gently. I’ve been to her several times now and always leave feeling my hands are in safe hands. I love her attention to detail, her precision and the love she puts into her work. For her it’s not just about a pretty coat but about keeping nails healthy and beautiful. Special thanks for always listening to what I want while professionally suggesting what will work better. ❤️ Now I know for sure I’ve found my nail tech. The result is always beautiful, neat and high quality. Highly recommend! 🌷
Irina is exceptionally talented and technically skilled. I’m extremely picky about who does my nails, both because most salons cut corners on sanitation and because their technique is simply wrong. Irina does a true dry manicure, using an e-file to clean the cuticle area with precision rather than soaking and nipping, so the finish is clean right to the nail plate and grows out beautifully. Her tools are genuinely sterilized in an autoclave with single-use bits, not just wiped between clients. Her pedicures hold the same standard: correct tools used only where they’re needed, rather than sanding down the entire foot, which is what most places do and what makes callus come back thicker. This is the same caliber of training as my Japanese nail artist back home, and it’s very hard to find. She is also able to do complex designs and is very reasonably priced. Irina is overall such a lovely and easy-going person, I genuinely enjoyed spending time with her while she worked on my nails. She also provides beverages and snacks to make your experience comfortable, she has thought of everything! If I lived in Alicante long-term I would see her regularly! Thank you Irina and hope to see you again one day 💛 ❤️ ✨
I’ve been going only to Irina for my manicures for several years now — a lovely girl and the best nail tech ❤️ A quality manicure that takes all my wishes into account! Clean, sterilised tools, individual disposables every time, a huge colour palette. The polish lasts 3–4 weeks with no cracks or lifting and grows out naturally. Extensions always look very natural. And most importantly, my own nails are healthy and well kept, because Irina uses quality materials and the right technique. The cosy atmosphere and warm conversation are a nice bonus 🥰 everything is wonderful!
The best nail tech I’ve ever been to! Perfect technique, complete sterility, a huge choice of colours and lovely conversation. The manicure was flawless; Irina works quickly, confidently and is very gentle with the cuticle. But the most valuable thing is the caring attitude and the incredibly cosy atmosphere during the appointment. I’ll definitely be back, Irina, and I’ll recommend you to my friends! Thank you for the beauty!
Irina is seriously the best nail technician I’ve ever had! She is kind, professional, extremely clean, and pays attention to every little detail. She masters the Russian manicure technique, and you can really see her years of experience in the precision and quality of her work. Everything is perfectly clean and all tools are properly sterilized. If you live in Alicante, I highly recommend her!
Irina is an amazing nail tech and a true professional! I’ve had extensions and pedicures with her several times and I’m always very happy with the result. Everything is always beautiful, neat and high quality. The nails wear brilliantly and look flawless even after a while. I especially want to mention that Irina works fast and uses quality materials. I’m so glad I’ve found my nail tech. I gladly recommend Irina and from now on I’ll only go to her! ❤️
For nail techs
Nail Architectby Irina
An in-person course in nail extensions and sculpting: from shape and architecture to complex design, so the result looks truly expensive and professional. With minimal filing, or with dual forms altogether.

I’m Irina
A nail master for over 8 years.
For me a manicure is more than a coat of colour. It’s aesthetics, nail architecture, comfort and quality you can see in the details. I love thin, neat, strong nails with no overload and no thick layers of material. I work calmly, attentively and with high standards.

The country changes, the pace of life changes, but the standard of work doesn’t depend on the city. Architecture, cleanliness and attention to detail always travel with me.
