Full Range of Manicure Services
Basic Manicure
A basic manicure is a relaxing, essential treatment that focuses on grooming and caring for your natural nails. At Blu Skies, this service includes nail trimming and shaping, nail buffing, cuticle care, and a soothing hand massage. Perfect for regular maintenance, this manicure leaves your hands feeling refreshed, clean, and polished.
Gel Polish Manicure
A gel polish manicure offers long-lasting shine and chip-resistant color with a flawless finish. The Blu Skies service begins with classic nail care-shaping, cuticle trimming, and nail prep-followed by the application of one color of gel-based polish that is cured under a light for instant drying. Gel polish stay glossy and vibrant for up to two weeks without smudging or chipping, making it an ideal choice for busy lifestyles or special occasions.
Gel Overlay
A layer of gel is applied directly over your natural nail to help with nail durability and strength. It also adds a smooth, glossy finish, without adding extra length to the nail.
Gel-X Extensions
Looking for nail length with a more natural finish? These soft gel nail enhancements combine the flexibility and lightweight feel of gel polish with the length and durability of acrylics or traditional tips. They can be made into any shape (stiletto, coffin, square), and unlike hard gels, they don't need to be sculpted manually.
Acrylic Nails
Our acrylic nails are a durable enhancement ideal for those looking for added length and structure to your nails.
Nail Art
Blu Skies offers custom shaping, nail art, encapsulated designs, and 3D embellishments to make all your nail dreams come true. Our nail technician specializes in building nail designs that will last and show off your personal style.

Manicure Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a regular manicure and a gel manicure?
A regular manicure uses traditional polish that air-dries, while a gel manicure involves curing gel polish under a UV or LED light, resulting in longer-lasting, chip-resistant finish.
What is nail art?
Nail art includes any decorative design applied to nail-ranging from simple stripes to dots to intricate hand-painted art, foil, rhinestones, or 3D elements.
How long does nail art last?
With gel or acrylic, nail art can last 2-3 weeks or longer with proper care. Durability depends on your nail base and daily activities.
Can I bring in my own design or inspiration?
Absolutely! We encourage clients to bring photos or ideas so we can recreate or customize them to suit your style and nail shape.
Is there an extra cost for nail art?
Yes, nail art is an add-on service, and pricing depends on the complexity, time, and materials used.
