Structured Gel Manicure / Luminary
Looking for a manicure that actually lasts and keeps your natural nails strong? Our structured gel manicure in Manhattan, NYC is built for real-life wear. This service gives your nails the support they need to stay polished and chip-free.
Unlike regular gel polish, a structure gel manicure uses a layer of builder gel to create strength while still keeping your nails light and natural-looking. It’s ideal for anyone who wants to grow out their natural nails or prevent breakage.
What Is a Structured Gel Manicure?
A structured gel manicure is a nail service that adds a layer of builder or multi-flex gel over your natural nails. This extra layer helps prevent breaks, chips, or peeling—giving your manicure longer wear and a stronger base. Unlike hard gel extensions, this process doesn’t require tips and is shaped to your natural nail.
The gel is cured under an LED lamp and finished with your choice of color or nail art. It’s a favorite among NYC clients who want nails that look great and last through a busy week—without the damage of constant touch-ups.
We also offer this manicure using top-tier structure gel systems that are low in heat, flexible, and easy to soak off when you’re ready for a new set.

How Our Structured Gel Manicure Works
We start by prepping your natural nails—shaping, cleaning, and gently pushing back cuticles. Next, a layer of structure gel is applied and cured under an LED lamp. We sculpt and smooth the gel to fit your natural shape, then finish with polish or nail art if you choose.
The result? Clean, strong nails with a flawless, smooth finish that can last two to four weeks with a little TLC. Just remember—use your cuticle oil! It’s the perfect way to keep your nails looking polished and holding up beautifully between appointments, even in the hustle of Manhattan, NYC.
