Nail Extensions in NYC

Gel nail extensions add length when your natural nails are too short for the shape you want. Every set at Mars Nails is sculpted by hand on a paper form, with no plastic tips. Choose short, medium, or long sets, finished with gel color or custom nail art.

What Our Clients Say

“I have hard gel extensions with nail art and it's flawless and lasts over 4 weeks. The cuticle work and close application makes the grow out almost imperceptible for the first several weeks.”

Sculpted Gel Extensions, Not Plastic Tips

We build each extension by hand using LED-cured sculpting gel on lower paper forms, rather than attaching pre-made tips.

This allows us to customize the length, shape, and structure of each nail individually, creating a set tailored to your hands. Every extension is carefully shaped and refined before the final gel color or nail art is applied.

Extensions or Builder Gel?

Keep Your Natural Length

If you're happy with your current length and want additional support, choose Builder Gel Manicure. It adds a structured overlay without extending your nails.

Repair or Reshape One Nail

For a broken corner or small shape correction, see Hard Gel Modeling & Sculpting instead of booking a full extension set.

Questions Before You Book

How long do gel nail extensions last?
Many clients return for a refill after about 4–5 weeks, depending on natural nail growth, the chosen length, and the condition of the extensions. Contact us sooner if anything starts lifting or needs attention.
Do you offer acrylic, Gel-X, or plastic tip extensions?
No, we use LED-cured sculpting gel to create extensions on lower paper forms. We don't work with acrylic, Gel-X, or plastic tips.
Can I get French, chrome, or nail art on extensions?
Yes. Choose a design add-on when booking, so the appropriate time is reserved. French, chrome, cat eye, and custom nail art are available depending on the technician and design.
