Nail Art Styles at Polished by Kim

Chrome and mirror nails: a stunning metallic finish created by buffing chrome powder over gel. Available in silver, gold, rose gold, holographic, and color-shifting options. Chrome nails are one of the most requested designs at the studio.

Cat eye nails: a magnetic gel technique that creates a shifting, three-dimensional effect inside the gel. Available in classic black, deep red, blue, green, and multi-dimensional options. Cat eye nails are a signature specialty at Polished by Kim.

Hand-painted nail art: freehand designs created with gel paint and fine brushes. From delicate florals and abstract designs to detailed portraits and seasonal themes, Kim's hand-painted nail art is a true expression of artistry.

French tips: classic white French tips, colored French tips, reverse French tips, and ombre French tips. Available on natural nails, Gel-X extensions, builder gel, and acrylics.

The Custom Nail Art Process

Before every nail art appointment, Kim discusses the client's vision, reviews reference images, and recommends techniques that will achieve the desired look. Clients are encouraged to bring Pinterest boards, Instagram saves, or any reference images that capture the style they want. The private studio setting means there is no rushing — Kim takes the time to get every detail right.

Custom nail art is available as an add-on to any service, including Russian Manicure, Gel-X extensions, builder gel, and acrylics. Nail art pricing depends on complexity and number of nails. Appointments are required and can be booked online.

Custom Nail Art Questions

Can I bring a reference photo for nail art?

Absolutely. Kim encourages every client to bring reference images to their appointment. The more detail you can share about your vision — colors, shapes, themes, and styles — the better the result. Pinterest boards and Instagram saves are welcome.

How long does custom nail art take?

Appointment length depends on the complexity of the design. Simple nail art like a single chrome accent nail adds 15 to 30 minutes. Intricate full-set hand-painted designs may add 60 to 90 minutes. Kim will give you an accurate time estimate when you book.

Is nail art available on short nails?

Yes — nail art can be applied to nails of any length. Kim specializes in creating beautiful designs on short natural nails and has extensive experience making designs that complement the nail shape and length rather than fighting against it.
