Pink of Manhattan is a nail studio and beauty spa in a central Manhattan location at 49 W 38th St, New York. The space has a calm vibe even when the city rushes outside. Soft light, a clean interior, and tidy nail stations create a small, luxurious space in the middle of New York.
In a city where people check their phones every minute, their hands show the world all day. A regular manicure with classic polish often chips after a day of typing. Gel manicures use gel polish that cures under a lamp, so the color stays fresh and glossy for weeks.
Our nail salon in NYC focuses on natural nail care as much as color. We want your gel manicure to look incredible on day one and still feel strong when your schedule is packed.
Our gel manicures are a great fit if your natural nails tend to peel, you’re tired of dealing with chips, or you want a bit more length without committing to heavy extensions at every visit.
Many of our NYC clients, whether they work with people, lead meetings, sip coffee on the go, or simply love the look of tidy hands, choose gel manicures as their go-to self-care ritual.
When you book a gel manicure at Pink of Manhattan, you can count on your appointment time being honored. We know that in New York, even ten minutes can make a difference.
Once you arrive, our administrator will check you in and guide you to your seat. You’ll have plenty of gel polish shades to choose from, whether you prefer soft neutrals or a bold color that pops on a busy subway ride.
Your nail technician will walk you through the service step by step, making sure you always know what’s coming next and feel comfortable throughout the process.
Our nail technicians move through each stage with care, so you always know what is happening and never feel rushed through the process.
We begin with your natural nails. Old gel is carefully filed down instead of peeled off, and cuticles are softened and cleaned so the skin around your nails looks smooth and calm.
Next, we shape your nails to fit your daily routine. If you spend a lot of time typing, short, rounded tips are comfortable and practical. Prefer a little extra length? Soft square or almond shapes offer a stylish, balanced look. And if you want even more length, we can add thin, lightweight extensions that feel natural and never heavy.
Your technician begins with a premium base coat, then applies the gel color in thin, even layers. Each layer is cured to create a strong, long-lasting finish that stays lightweight, leaving your nails smooth and evenly coated from side to side.
To complete the look, we seal the color with a glossy top coat and cure it for a long-lasting shine. Afterward, your nails are cleansed for a smooth, non-sticky finish, leaving you with a fresh, polished manicure that looks effortlessly neat.
If you want more than one flat color, our nail technicians can add nail art that fits your style.
Our team uses fine brushes and modern techniques to create nail designs that look clean in real life, not just in photos.
With proper care, a gel manicure in NYC can last two to three weeks. Most clients come back when they notice a small gap near the cuticle from natural growth, not from chipping.
To help your manicure stay perfect for as long as possible, we suggest wearing gloves during heavy cleaning, avoiding very hot water for long periods, and not using your nails to open cans or boxes.
One of our main goals is to protect the health of your natural nails. Our gel manicures and nail services use professional nail products chosen to strengthen nails, not weaken them.
We avoid aggressive filing on the natural nail plate. Instead, we thin the old product in layers, keeping the surface smooth. This approach means that after months of regular visits, your nails still feel strong and look clean when the gel is off.
Pink of Manhattan was built as more than a place to sit and wait under a lamp. The interior was created after many late nights of planning, where each chair should be, how light should fall on each hand, and how to keep the space feeling open rather than crowded.
When you sit down, you can finally put your phone away for an hour and let someone else take care of your hands. For many guests, this small break becomes their favorite part of the week.
Our goal is to provide a level of care where you can simply sit down, say “the usual”, and trust that your nails will look perfectly polished, as you like them, when you stand up.
If it’s your first visit, we’ll take you through the process step by step. We can help you choose a nail length, a shade, or a slightly bolder color if you want to try something new.
We also know everyone has their own comfort level, so we tailor the service to you rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
