Read What Our Portland Clients Have To Say About Our Gel Manicure Services

  • Shelby is an absolute nail artist! I showed her three different inspo pics and gave her full creative freedom—and she nailed it. She captured the vibe perfectly, blending all the elements into a design that’s bold, fun, and totally unique. We went with a gel overlay and added some 3D accents, and the result is seriously eye-catching—perfect for summer! I’ve never loved my nails more. Already looking forward to my next visit. Thanks so much, Shelby!

    – Kelsey W.

  • Shelby is such an amazing nail tech! I have gotten both builder gel and gel x nails from her, and the retention has lasted 4+ weeks! She is an amazing artist when it comes to doing nail art, and her freestyle option is so worth it! I’ve never been disappointed! She’s also the sweetest person ever!! Go see Shelby for your next set, you will not be disappointed!

    – Rachel S.

  • Shelby is so sweet! I got the Apres Gel X with an elaborate nail art set. I felt so comfortable and welcomed. I came in with an inspo pic, and they nailed the design perfectly. Shelby also asked for my length and color preference. I already have another appointment booked, and I can’t wait!

    – Sydney H.
