Custom Nail Art in Grand Rapids
Bring a screenshot or just a feeling — the Pleasant Nails and Spa team hand-paints designs, builds 3D flowers, and sets gems until your nails become the accessory everyone asks about. Walk out with art on your hands and a little extra sparkle in your step.
Nail Art Styles We Do Every Week
Our gallery is full of real sets from our chairs: pearl-studded pink coffins, smoky black marble, candy-cane Christmas tips, retro smiley faces, 3D acrylic flowers, and delicate gold-lined French. Nail art can go over a gel manicure, acrylic set, or dip powder — whatever base you're wearing.
- Hand-painted designs (florals, hearts, characters, abstract)
- 3D acrylic flowers and raised details
- Gems, pearls, studs, and charms
- Chrome, cat-eye, and glitter finishes
- French variations — colored tips, gold outlines, double lines
- Seasonal and holiday sets (Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's)
Design time varies: an accent nail adds a few minutes, while a full hand-painted set can add 30–60 minutes to your appointment. Mention your design when you book so we can reserve enough time.
Nail Art Pricing
Pricing for nail art varies by length, condition, and design. Ask us for current pricing when you book or when you arrive — we'll confirm everything before we start.
