(MTO) vs (RTW) Nails
(RTW) Ready-To-Wear nails are premade nail sets that are ready to be shipped upon purchase. These designs are created in advance and are available for immediate purchase without any customization options.
(MTO) Made-To-Order nails, on the other hand, are custom-made to our client's specifications. Clients have the opportunity to customize their set according to their preferences, including colour, shape, and size. These nails are crafted specifically for each client, allowing for a personalized and unique experience.
Do You Restock (RTW) Nails?
Most of our (RTW) nails are 1/1 freestyle sets. However, we may also offer the nail set as "made-to-order" for a limited time. If the set you like is sold out, please fill out our order form to request a custom order.
