I love the atmosphere, the cleanliness and the way they buff the polish off my nails, which is GENTLE and even. My dip manicure is dry (they do not soak your nails in water, which is better for your nails.). Plus their work is very consistent - I am always happy. If you get acrylics, you will want to see Linda and you will probably need an appointment. If you are a last-minute scheduling or a walk-in (which they welcome!), you might have a couple different professionals working on your nails and you may have to move chairs a few times. If I don't schedule in advance with a specific person, I'm used to bopping around as different people come in for set appointments and I need to move. If you don't like that, tell them in advance! For the dip manicure (which stands up to hot water much much much better than gel!) it regularly lasts me 3 weeks. I always get the brand that starts with a Z. They carry the unicorn brand of iridescent powders to go over any polish as well, which is fun. They have a French dip manicure available as a dip, but if you want a French dip manicure with tips other than white, it is a combination of a dip base and a gel tip. They have three books of little nail stickers from baby cats, hearts, gold designs.. the options are endless, which my daughter loves. They are always busy, especially in the evenings with a constant stream of customers and all ages from CU students to the residents of Frasier Meadows retirement community. Men come here too. It is quite a diverse spot (for Boulder)! Friday and Saturday afternoons and evenings can be super busy and it is best to have an appointment. Mornings are definitely the least busy time. They are open seven days a week and on many holidays. I really appreciate that the TVs are muted and one has views of beautiful places to travel and the other is a cake-making channel.

They always get me in, even on busy days, and they actually listen to what I want. I show them inspo pics and they kill it every time. Linda is seriously one of the best techs I've ever had.

I have been coming to visit Kim and her team for nearly 7 years. Even though I've move out to Longmont and the location is no longer convenient, I make the trek as I've yet to find another quick nail salon that offers this level of service and quality. The staff is friendly, courteous, and professional. They take their time and are always willing to fix or change anything (even if it's me being wushu washy about color)! They are quick , but efficient! I have had nothing but amazing experiences at this location! And my 9 year old, whom Kim always remembers and asks about when she is unable to join me, would give you the same review (and she's pickier than I am!). read more

Always a fantastic experience. Jenny always does a phenomenal job with giving me the most beautiful nails. This visit, I chose an Acrylic French Set with design. Super friendly, the whole staff. The ONLY nail salon I've regularly gone to in Boulder since 2023, so 3 years so fa. Africa did wonderful for my Gel French pedicure. Loved it. Bubble Spa is my favorite thing to get during a pedi. She is kind and accommodating. They always make sure everything is how I like it while working on my nails. Offers water (still or sparkling). Highly recommend Planet Nails! read more

I LOVE this place! I have been coming here for 8+ years since college and can't seem to find a better nail salon, even after moving to Denver. I still work in Boulder so I make a point to schedule nail appointments (or drop-in) here before I head home. They are amazing with natural nails, gel/shellac, acrylic, nail design, anything. I can always ask for something fun or new and they do an amazing job. Also, they have great prices that make it easy to keep up with any style I get. Everyone there is really welcoming and I love coming back! read more

10/10, this was the second time going here. In my most recent trip there was a bit of a miscommunication (on my part!) and when I brought it to attention, my stylist wasted no time to fix it so that I was satisfied. She was so incredibly kind and did an AMAZING job with how she shaped my nails. The attention to detail was perfect. I'll be coming back!! While I'm sure everyone is a very talented nail artist, I strongly recommend Jenny-- especially if you plan on doing detailed nail art!! read more

City nails is my favorite nail place in Boulder! The prices are very reasonable and they do a great job. I always appreciate how quick they are.

WOW! This is the worst manicure & pedicure I have ever gotten. I get acrylics done & have never had such a bad, misshapen job before.
