Nails that make
you look at
your hands.

Gel, Gel-X, builder and hand painted art in downtown Los Gatos. Four chairs, nobody rushing you, and a set that still looks good in week three.

A hand with long almond nails, each one different: cow print, a green and lilac split, a lilac and butter yellow swirl and pale blue stripes Almond, full set art

The polish wall.

Tap a bottle. The top of every page, the drips and the nails in the set builder all switch to it, and it sticks while you browse. Cheaper than a swatch appointment.

Wearing: Hot Take

The one everybody asks about

Chrome. Fifteen dollars of pure shine.

Chrome powder goes on over the gel colour, gets buffed in by hand and sealed. It works on any set and any shade on the polish wall. Glazed donut, mirror silver, oil slick over black. Ask for it at the chair or tick it in the set builder below.

It adds about ten minutes. Worth every one.

Glossy red almond nails with two accent nails swirled in red, white and gold glitter, a gold ring on one finger Red, swirl accents

The set builder

Build your set, see the price.

Pick a base, a length, a shape and how wild the art gets. The hand on the right paints itself in your polish wall colour. These are the same numbers your tech uses.

Base service
Length extensions only
Shape

Coffin and stiletto need the length of an extension, so they open up with Gel-X or acrylic.

Said out loud, at the chair

People keep saying nice things.

"Week four and my Gel-X still has zero lift. I tapped them on my desk all day just to hear it."

Priya S, coffin, medium

"I showed Jo a blurry screenshot and she painted it better than the original. Tiny strawberries. On every nail."

Hannah K, full set art

"First place that took my old acrylic off without drilling my nails into paper."

Dana R, builder gel
