How Our Custom Nail Designs Come to Life
Every set of hand painted nail designs starts with a personal consultation at our Manhattan, NYC studio.

From there, our skilled nail artists create a design that reflects your style.
Using premium gel polish and precision brushes, we paint every detail by hand. Some designs flow across all nails to tell a story, while others focus on feature nails that pop with creative flair. Each look is carefully built in layers, cured between steps, and finished with a high-shine or matte top coat for long-lasting wear.
We focus on quality, balance, and personal expression. Your hand painted nail art isn’t just about looking great—it’s about capturing a moment, mood, or message you want to share. In Manhattan, your nails can be more than a trend—they can be a statement.
