Nail Art by Real Nail Artists

At Atelier Anaiis, nail art is more than decoration—it’s a story told at your fingertips. Every design is hand-painted in our Old City nail salon with care, intention, and technical precision, transforming your manicure into a wearable work of art.

For many of our clients, nail art at our Philadelphia nail salon has become a ritual—a way to reflect a mood, mark milestones, or set the tone for the season ahead.

Whether your vision is soft and minimal or bold and symbolic, we collaborate closely with you to create nail art that resonates—designs that not only complement your look, but shape how you feel when you step into the world.

Each set is built on a foundation of nail health, completing your Signature Foundation Manicure or Soft Gel Extensions with an expressive final layer. Because nail art adds additional gel layering, it often extends the longevity of your manicure from 3–4 weeks to 5–6 weeks, depending on nail length and condition.

From inspiration photos to your finished set, every detail is intentional. Explore our Gallery to see why Atelier Anaiis is the destination for nail art in Philadelphia—where technique meets storytelling, and beauty is always built to last.

Nail Art Offerings

At Atelier Anaiis, nail art is never one-size-fits-all. Each design is hand-painted and sculpted in our Old City nail salon with precision, intention, and an understanding that your nails are a reflection of who you are, and who you are becoming.

We approach every set of nail art as a custom collaboration—choosing colors, techniques, and details that bring your vision to life while protecting the health of your natural nails.

Our repertoire includes timeless classics and modern statements alike: French nail art, chrome nails, and ombré gradients; intricate floral nail art and postcard designs; painterly Impressionist styles and detailed Japanese nail art; textured embossed and 3D nail looks; celestial and astrology nail art; seasonal and holiday nail designs; abstract nail compositions; marbled effects; and the luminous depth of cat-eye and velvet nails.

Whether your nails are long and sculptural or kept naturally short, we adapt each technique to your nail length, nail shape, and lifestyle—ensuring the result feels intentional, wearable, and distinctly yours.

True Nail Artists

Some call it decoration.
We call it a ritual.

At Atelier Anaiis, nail art is the final, expressive layer—hand-painted in our Old City nail salon with the same care an artist gives a canvas. It’s where your mood, your milestones, and your aspirations meet, captured in strokes of pigment and light.

Our process is collaborative, intimate. We listen, suggest, refine—turning your inspiration photos into a design that feels unmistakably yours.

Whether soft and understated or bold and symbolic, your nail art becomes a conversation between who you are and who you’re becoming.

Every detail is intentional, every line precise. And because beauty should never come at the cost of nail health, each design is built on our restorative foundation of nail care—enhancing both the visual impact and the longevity of your manicure.

The result isn’t just a set of nails. It’s a story you wear for weeks—until you’re ready to tell the next one.
