The glow-up your extensions deserved.
Remember when applying gel extensions felt like a part-time job? Twenty minutes of buffing, filing that never quite worked, and that moment of panic when you realised size 6 was too small but size 7 was swimming on you?
Yeah, we remember too. That’s why we completely redesigned our gel extensions from scratch. Not a little tweak here and there - a full reimagining of what extensions should be.
What Changed (and Why It Matters)
The Size Revolution: 15 Options Instead of 12
The old problem: 12 sizes sounds like enough… until you’re sitting there with nails that don’t fit any of them.
The fix: We now offer 15 sizes so you can get a true fit without forcing it.
Why this matters: Less filing, fewer gaps, a smoother finish - and extensions that actually fit your actual nails.
More sizes = less “close enough”.
Less filing = keep the shape you chose.
More XS Shape Options (Not “Kids’ Sizes”)
Let’s clear this up: size is the nail number/width. XS is about the shape height/length and overall proportion (so petite hands don’t get overwhelmed).
We added more XS shape options so you can get that balanced, salon look — without the extensions looking too long or too wide for your nail beds.
New XS shapes include: XS Squoval, XS Square, and XS Almond.
The Shape That Actually Makes Sense: Almond, Evolved
What was wrong: The old almond shape tapered too quickly and could cut into the natural nail shape.
What we fixed: We redesigned the curvature so it follows the natural nail bed contour while keeping that flattering almond taper.
The Pre-Buff Game Changer: Pre-Buffed on Both Sides
The old way: Only one side was pre-buffed. The outside still needed buffing (aka dust clouds and uneven texture).
The new reality: Both sides come pre-buffed.
- Time saved: ~10-15 minutes per set
- Dust avoided: Your entire workspace’s worth (and your lungs thank you)
The Engineering Details That Make a Real Difference
Ultra-Thin Cuticle Edge
This is the difference between “I’m wearing extensions” and “I just have naturally perfect nails.” Our new ultra-thin cuticle edge blends seamlessly with your natural nail for a smooth, barely-there transition.
Flexibility Upgrade
The goal: Firm enough to hold shape, flexible enough to move with your natural nail.
The result: Less snapping, more comfort, and a natural feel (not armour).
Seamless Precision Fit
Extensions that hug your nail bed like they were custom-made - designed to account for nail curve, sidewalls, and that tricky area where your nail meets your fingertip.
Packaging + Value Upgrades
Sleek, Stackable Packaging
Old packaging: bulky boxes that ate your drawer space.
New packaging: sleek, thin, and stackable - plus clearer labels and better organisation.
More Extensions Per Pack: 20 Pieces Per Size
Before: 15 pieces per size
Now: 20 pieces per size
That means more breathing room for learning-curve moments (or… when your cat decides to “help” mid-application).
Cost Per Manicure: The New Maths
With 20 pieces per size, that’s 10 manicures per box (2 pieces per manicure).
| Option | Typical cost | Time + effort |
|---|---|---|
| Salon extensions | $60–$100 per set | Appointment + maintenance |
| At-home (Ezmio old set) | $5 per manicure (with all that extra work | More filing + one-side buffing |
| At-home (Ezmio new set) |
$3.50 per manicure 10 manicures per set |
Less prep (pre-buffed both sides) |
What This Means for Your Nail Routine
If You’re New to Extensions
- Better fit across the full size range
- XS shape options for petite proportions
- Pre-buffed both sides = easier, cleaner application
If You’re an Extension Veteran
- Less customising, less filing
- Faster application (often ~15 minutes)
- Improved flexibility = less breakage
If You Gave Up on Extensions
- Poor fit issues addressed with more sizes
- Bulk and harsh edges improved with ultra-thin cuticle design
- Time investment reduced with double-sided pre-buffing
Quick Pick Guide
- Sizes: nail width/number
- XS: shape height/proportions
- Almond: redesigned taper after the natural nail
The Technical Improvements Summary
The Honest Truth
We could’ve made minor improvements and called it a day. Added a size or two, maybe tweaked the packaging. But that’s not how we work.
When we redesign something, we obsess over every detail. Because those “tiny” annoyances add up to a frustrating experience, and frustrating is the last thing your nail routine should be.
Available now in Clear (for custom colour options) and French Tip (pre-designed perfection) across Almond, Squoval, Square — including XS shape options.
Your old extension frustrations are officially retired!
