Why choose polinails.sd
Real nails. Real care.
Every tool that touches your nails goes through five steps before your appointment: ultrasonic cleaning, a Barbicide soak, a rinse under running water, a full day of air drying, then one hour in the dry-heat sterilizer at 180°C. Everything comes out in sealed sterile pouches and stays there until it's needed. We work exclusively with hard gels from trusted Russian and Ukrainian brands. No acids, no acrylics, no gel-x. With more than 200 colors to choose from, we help you grow the nails you have always wanted.

What people are saying
“I came in with a Pinterest photo and honestly expected something close but not quite. She matched it exactly — then suggested one small change that made it better. Three weeks in, still no chips.”
Sarah M.
“Showed her a reference I'd been saving for a year. She looked at it for maybe thirty seconds, then just did it. The result was better than the photo.”
Jessica T.
“I hadn't had a manicure in two years because every place felt rushed. This was the opposite. An hour and a half and I didn't want to leave.”
Amanda R.
“Gel manicure held for four weeks. My previous place? Two weeks, maybe. Won't be going back there.”
Lauren K.
“She did my nails for my wedding. Six weeks later, three of my bridesmaids had booked appointments with her.”
Mia C.
“Doesn't rush, doesn't cut corners, actually listens. Hard to find all three.”
Rachel B.
Book an Appointment
Pick your service and a time that suits you. If you need removal, a repair or a design, add it while booking so enough time is set aside for you.
Your appointment is paid in full at booking. Polina works with one client at a time, so a reserved slot is time she cannot offer anyone else. The cancellation terms are shown before you confirm.
