Polished Nail Boutique is a cosy creative nail studio at Blk 21 Ghim Moh Road in Queenstown, Singapore, dedicated to manicures, pedicures and personalised nail art. The team began as nail enthusiasts who trained at PinkRoom in 2011, spent years running home salons and mastering their techniques, and eventually opened this studio to offer expert nail care in a warm, friendly setting.
The menu spans gel and classic manicures and pedicures, combo options, forming gel extensions with infills, express natural-nail treatments, and a rotating Monthly Nail Art design. Add-ons include paraffin, Footlogix, OPI spa and LCN treatments, ingrown nail care, foot care and half leg waxing. Regular polish services come with a free quick-dry top coat, and gel soak-off removal is complimentary with a package.
Clients describe the salon as meticulous, precise and genuinely friendly, with a huge colour selection and results that last — even through daily housework involving lots of washing. It may be a small set-up, but that is part of the charm: appointments feel relaxed and personal, with the team taking the time to make sure every nail is perfect.
Tucked into the ground floor of Blk 21 Ghim Moh Road, Polished Nail Boutique is the kind of neighbourhood salon people keep to themselves until they can't any longer. The studio describes itself as 'a new cozy environment to pamper your nails,' and regulars agree: it's a small, friendly set-up where precision nail work, a huge colour selection and easy conversation come standard. Whether you're after a quick express manicure or sculpted gel extensions with personalised art, the team treats every set of nails as a small piece of artwork.
Polished's story began in 2011, when its founders started out as nail enthusiasts training at PinkRoom, covering all aspects of nail care and art. Years of managing home salons followed — a period spent mastering techniques one client at a time. That groundwork shaped the studio they eventually opened in Ghim Moh: a creative space where services are performed with what they call masterly performance, and where nails are seen as a reflection of self-care, beauty and individuality. Their vision is simple — to be a destination where creativity meets expertise, and where every visit feels like an extraordinary experience rather than a routine appointment.
Gel work is the heartbeat of the menu. The gel manicure and gel pedicure are the salon's most popular services, joined by combo options that pair mani and pedi in one sitting. Just as talked-about is the Monthly Nail Art — a rotating design of the month clients can add on top of any service. One recent visitor booked a gel mani and classic pedi, topped up for the design of the month, and left with nails she described as perfect.
Reviewers consistently highlight two things: the team's meticulous, precise technique and the longevity of the results. Several note that their polish outlasts other salons' even with daily housework involving lots of washing, and that the colour wall is genuinely huge.
Beyond the popular gel and classic services, the menu covers the full spectrum of nail care. In a hurry? Express manicures and pedicures are available with or without colour, and regular polish services come with a free quick-dry top coat. Want length? Forming gel extensions are sculpted for the perfect shape, with infills available for maintenance. There are also targeted add-ons: warm paraffin treatments, Footlogix and OPI spa treatments, LCN nail treatment, ingrown nail care, foot care and half leg waxing.
Gel removal — a soak off — is offered both for Polished's own work and for gel applied elsewhere, and it's complimentary when you're on a package. It's a thoughtfully rounded menu that lets you build anything from a quick tidy-up to a full afternoon of pampering.
The boutique's size works in its favour. Clients describe visits as cosy — one even watched a Taiwan reality show alongside the technicians during a roughly 1.5-hour gel mani and classic pedi appointment. The team's warmth shows up again and again in reviews: very friendly staff, very professional, and one partner who jokes that after booking his girlfriend in once, he now has to bring her back every month. Prices are described as reasonable, and the salon runs promotions that regulars keep an eye on.
