    Hard gel manicure with single design
    Jenny B.

    My first time at Polished went really well. Their hard gel manicure was meticulous (though if you have sensitive cuticles, brace yourself). And they did a fantastic job at creating the evil eye design I showed them for each of my ring fingers. My nails still look perfect (other than the natural growth) almost a month later. They were also very kind and attentive. I will be back.

    Gel pedicure
    Melissa R.

    I had never heard of a Russian pedicure and decided to spend the extra money to get one. I got my first pedicure about 45 days ago and my toenails still look pretty awesome! I did lose the gel on my pinky toe a few days ago, and one of my toe nails has a crack in it (I had it before) and that toe polish lasted over a month. This is definitely a different type of pedicure. It would be nice to have a massage at the end. I didn't mind not having a foot soak either. Just booked my next appointment and would highly recommend! (Picture is from today and you can see they still look great)

    Melania is amazing. Very detailed, professional and kind. And the receptionist was super sweet! Very professional ! Love my nails! Worth the money :)

    Gel Russian Manicure with Chrome

    I have fallen in love with this place and all its nail technicians! They are all so lovely and they go out of their way to ensure you're happy with your nails!!! This place is unlike any other! They did my engagement nails and new years! I will never go elsewhere, my nails last forever and are well worth the price. I always get compliments on my nails. I'm very rough with my hands as I have a hands on job and they've never chipped! Done by Dilara She's very sweet and patient!!! Love her work

    This places butchered my nails. Went in for a regular mani and pedi. This is how my nails look after I took off the polish. Also super expensive. Over $200. The ladies are nice but the results are awful at least for regular mani and pedi. I don't do fake or gel.

    My second review on this salon. The hospitality is great very nice people and your nails look gorgeous right when they are done but for some reason the hard gel nails on my nails chipped within 3 days. I just looked down and on my gel pedicure the whole coat of gel polish is just gone.. slid right off after 3 weeks that has never happened to me. This review is more for the technicians to read and to be more thorough throughout the process to ensure this doesn't happen. Thicker coats on hard gel and prepping toenails better before you paint them

    Three weeks since my appointment and barely looks like I need a fill  can't wait for my next appointment soon!

    First off: I have been getting manicures all around the city for over 10 years. I've gotten gel, gelx, hard gel, acrylic, dip, regular manis...literally everything and everywhere between Manhattan and Brooklyn..and I've never found a place like Polished until now. 5 stars. I waited three weeks to write this review to really test out my nail's longevity, and my nails still look incredible. I get comments on how nice and fresh they look even three weeks out. There's a bit of grow out but that's to be expected, and it's a lot less noticeable than three weeks out after regular gel. The venue is also very clean & relaxing. I'm officially a Russian mani convert and I'm not going back. Highly recommended.

    Elina is such an amazing nail artist. I'm so glad I finally found her after searching for the right person for so long. I've had really expensive and mediocre Russian manicures at other places in the city and never thought it justified the price but Elena makes it worth every penny. She's also so kind and collaborative since she really wants to make sure you're happy with your nails and the service. I actually enjoy going to get my manicure every month because she also generally makes the environment comfortable and enjoyable. Definitely book with Elina if you want a great Russian manicure and service :)

    This is what my nails look like two weeks since they've been done. They are starting to grow out but it still looks good

    Best nail salon I've ever been to and I highly recommend it!!! The manicurists are so skilled and have such great taste Thank you so much

    Polished is amazing! I went this past weekend and I got my nails done for Valentine's Day. let me tell you... i have never had such a lush, juicy, and sturdy gel manicure. The technician took her TIME with each nail, making sure each nail looked perfectly manicured and then perfectly flawless with its gel application. I... don't know how I'll go back to anyone giving me a less professional manicure. 6 stars, not 5. Oh also, the staff is lovely. Just a heads up, it is not your typical street front salon: the shop is inside an office building but it is legit. GO!

    Expensive but the best Russian mani ever. Russian pedi is not worth it. They give you drinks and chocolate. Love it here

Since I've stumbled upon this spot, I've never looked back. It's easy to make an appointment here: I recommend making it through Yelp, so they can set you up with someone who specializes in the service you're looking for. Appointments can be made a week in advance, and there's always availabilities. If you're more spontaneous though, they can almost always accommodate walk ins too! Miki is my girl. I always get gel nails and love a good nail art moment, and Miki can always pull off any design I bring to the table. She's freehanded all sorts of crazy designs for me, and I get compliments from people all the time about them. I don't know what they put in these gel nails either, but they last super well. All my sets have lasted long enough for my nails to grow out, get cut, and then some. I'm a nurse, so I wash my hands all the time, but these nails not only stay on, but stay uncracked! I've had nails from here that lasted 2-3 months easily. Also, if you're into cat eye polish, this place has a lot of color options! They also do a lot of unique cat eye patterns, and they do the cat eye heart design super well. Anyway, give this place a shot! You can't go wrong with them!

As a note, their website allows you to request a service but you need to contact them directly to book the appointment itself. The spa is gorgeous, clean, and very zen.

The gel stayed on, didn't chip, and I was honestly impressed, so I kept going back. The second time was fine too. On my third visit, they scheduled me with a junior technician and my nails chipped within three days. I was traveling, and by the time I got back to New York, they told me their one-week guarantee had expired and I'd need a new appointment, which was frustrating. Twelve days ago, I went in again and got a Japanese gel manicure. Today, on day thirteen, six nails lifted and the gel peeled off completely. I'm going to cancel my upcoming appointment and try a Russian manicure elsewhere. For almost a hundred dollars with tip and tax, the quality just isn't there.
