The works! Any combination of nail art techniques, including complex hand-painted nail art designs, character art, charms, stones, studs, nail jewelry, 3d hand sculpted nail art. Every nail can be it's own unique piece!

Gentle Gel Removal

I've seen too many clients come in with destroyed natural nails after having removals done at other salons.


Instead of rushing, using weird tools like metrocards, or ripping enhancements off, I take my time and focus on maintaining your natural nail health as best I can.

It's not cheap—but after 3 years I still haven't found a local salon I reccomend for removal—so  it's time to take matters into my own hands!

My manicures regularly last 4+ weeks if I’m taking good care of them. Not only is Kate a super talented artist, but she’s also helped me care for my nails and grow them out longer than I even thought possible.

Kate made me feel perfectly at ease. I left with the most beautiful nails I've ever had! Nearly three weeks later, they're still immaculate, and the whole experience has made me want to invest in regular appointments and nail care.
