My mom and I came in for mani/pedis while she is visiting Columbus, and we had a great experience! I’ve been coming to Polish! since 2015 and I’m so glad to share my comfort and love of this salon with my mother.

I have been to Andrew now twice and from both experiences, I can genuinely say that I don't think ill ever use a different nail tech unless I have too lmao ! Andrew is absolutely amazing and so funny and raw and my nails are snatched and I've received so many compliments already and I just got them done two hours ago! 100/10 recommend this shop and Andrew !

Andrew and the team are the best. I had dip on when I showed at 3:10 and was all done by 4:05. Super quick and efficient and great matte red nails for Valentine’s Day and a vaca to the Red Rocks!

I love Polish! so much! I went somewhere different today out of convenience (mistake I know) since I moved further away. I ended up calling to get in today to repair the mess that was made of my nails at the other salon I tried. Huge shout out to Tony who beautifully reshaped and painted my acrylics repairing them from being clunky and misshaped. I’ll be back when it’s time for a balance.

Gel Nails FAQs
Gel nails cost between $15 and $75 in Columbus.
Once you’ve had gel nails applied, they should remain chip-free for between 2-3 weeks.
Although gel manicures look beautiful, they can cause your natural nails to become brittle. The American Academy of Dermatology reports that repeated use of gel nails can increase the risk of skin cancer and the premature ageing of skin on the hands.
Gel and shellac nails both cure under UV light, but their composition is different. Gel nail polish is a lacquer made from acrylic monomers and oligomers; shellac polish is part gel, part regular nail polish, and is a patented brand by Creative Nail Design (CND). Both give a high shine and long-lasting finish.
Gel nails tend to give a more natural and glossier finish than acrylic nails; they are cured under a UV lamp and last for around 2 weeks. Acrylic nails are stronger than gels and start to cure as soon as they’re exposed to air; they generally last for 6-8 weeks but will need fills after 2 weeks to hide regrowth. Both can be used to lengthen nails and both can damage your natural nails.
Once every 2 weeks. Gel nails cure (harden) in UV light; this means they continue to cure in natural sunlight. The longer you keep your polish on, the longer it cures and the harder it is to remove. To reduce the risk of stripping and damaging your nails, it’s recommended that you book in with an experienced nail technician to remove and redo your gel nail polish every 2 weeks.
