Custom Nail Art in Katy, TX
Bring us an inspiration photo. We'll tell you exactly how it'll look on your nail length, what's possible, and what's not — then we'll do it.
Our clients send us inspiration photos for a reason: we'll match the look, not approximate it. Chrome, ombre, French in any color, foil, glitter fade, hand-painted florals, seasonal — we do the work daily.
Pricing depends on complexity and number of nails. Simple accent (one nail): $5. Full set custom design: $25–60+ on top of your base service.

- You want a signature look that's yours
What's included
- Pre-design consultation
- Hand-painted detail or applied art (chrome, foil, gem, sticker)
- Sealed under top coat for durability
What we actually keep in stock
What's possible at our shop, today, on real Katy nails.
Pinterest boards lie about nail art. Half the designs need acrylic gel mediums most salons in Katy don't keep, or stamping plates we don't carry. Here's what we actually have stocked — so you can plan a design we can finish in your booked window.
Always stocked
Chrome, foil, glitter fade, French
Three chrome powders (silver, gold, holographic). Six foil patterns. Glitter in nine sizes from microfine to chunky. French in any color combo, including reverse and double. These add 15 minutes total — book any service +15 and you're set.
Custom paint
Hand-painted florals & seasonal designs
Jenny does the paint work — small florals, abstracts, seasonal (KISD spirit colors come up every August before football). Adds 30–60 minutes per set. Bring a phone photo a day before so we can stage gel colors that match the inspiration.
What we send you elsewhere for
3D acrylic charms & nail piercings
We don't carry 3D charm work or nail piercings — both need specific equipment we'd rarely use. If that's your design, we'll honestly tell you which Houston salon does it right. We'd rather lose the booking than do a bad version of someone's wedding nails.
Aftercare
Make it last.
- Top coat refresh every 2 weeks for hand-painted detail to keep edges sharp
