Gel Nail Extensions in NYC
We create custom gel nail extensions for every client—precision-shaped, ultra-strong, and always finished with a Russian manicure for a flawless look.
What Are Gel Nail Extensions?
Gel Nail Extensions are the most modern way to achieve strong, beautiful, and perfectly sculpted long nails. Unlike classic tips, we use professional sculpting forms and builder gel to create length and shape directly on your natural nail. At Mars Nails, every extension is custom-cut and sculpted to fit your unique nail and desired shape—almond, oval, square, stiletto, and more. This allows for the most natural and elegant look, fully tailored to your style.

How Long Do Gel Nail Extensions Last?
With proper aftercare, gel nail extensions will last around 4–5 weeks without chipping or lifting. After this time, you’ll need to come back for a refill to keep your nails looking fresh and natural.
If you book your next appointment within 4–5 weeks, you can select the
Builder Gel Manicure
service for a maintenance refill (no need to re-do extensions).
If more than 6 weeks pass between appointments, a new full set of gel extensions may be required.
