Book Your Nail Art SessionNail art is where creativity meets craftsmanship. At Polished by Kim, I specialize in creating unique, personalized nail designs that reflect your individual style and personality. From delicate minimalist patterns to bold, intricate artwork, every design is carefully hand-crafted with attention to detail.
My nail art services range from simple accent nails to full sets of complex designs featuring hand-painted florals, geometric patterns, chrome effects, 3D embellishments, and more. I stay current with the latest trends while also creating timeless, elegant designs that suit any occasion—from everyday wear to special events like weddings, holidays, and celebrations.
Whether you have a specific vision in mind or want creative guidance, I'll work with you to design nails that make you feel confident and beautiful. Nail art is more than decoration—it's a form of self-expression that tells your unique story.

Your chosen nail service (Gel X, acrylic, or builder gel) is applied first to create the perfect canvas for your nail art.
I carefully hand-paint or apply your chosen design with precision tools, gel paints, and artistic techniques. Each nail is treated as a miniature canvas.
A glossy or matte top coat seals and protects your nail art. Embellishments like rhinestones or pearls are added if desired.
I'll provide specific care tips to help your nail art last as long as possible while maintaining its beauty.
Nail art lasts as long as your base nail service (typically 3-4 weeks for Gel X, acrylics, or builder gel). The art is sealed with a durable top coat to protect it from chipping and fading.
Absolutely! I encourage you to bring reference photos from Instagram, Pinterest, or anywhere else. You can also DM me on Instagram (@polished_bykim) before your appointment to discuss custom designs.
Simple nail art adds 15-30 minutes. Detailed hand-painted designs or 3D art can add 45-60 minutes. Please notify me via Instagram or in your booking notes if you want intricate designs so I can allocate enough time.
Not at all! Many clients choose accent nails (typically 2-4 nails with detailed art) and solid colors on the rest. This creates a balanced look and is more budget-friendly.
No problem! During your consultation, I'll show you examples of my work and suggest designs based on your style preferences, the season, and current trends. I'm here to guide you toward a design you'll love.
