Yes, I’m late to the game. But I’m obsessed with Paintbox. Paintbox is a modern manicure studio in SoHo offering classic manicures and a curated selection of nail art. Their studio is located at 17 Crosby Street New York, NY 10013 +1 (212) 219-2412. (PS If you decide to check it out , schedule an appointment with my girl Anna J she’s a lead artist (AKA: THe Boss) .) Anna and I go way back, when I used to work at SHEfinds.com. She used to do the nail art at NYFW for Butter LONDON. Her manis and technique are on point! And you know me, I critique the shit outta manis.
Anyways, back to Paintbox… Paintbox is a high-design nail studio aiming to elevate every aspect of the manicure experience. Founded by former beauty editor, Eleanor Langston, Paintbox launches seasonal collections of thoughtfully-edited nail designs. Our creative artists help women navigate the latest trends, offering individualized color consultations to ensure you’ll leave with a modern, confidence-boosting mani.
They have a menu which changes per season, so you do have to do one of their manis and not something custom. But seriously, they’re dope and I guarantee you will have a hard time choosing!

It is a bit on the pricier side (I had a vendor at work pay for my mani). Hence, why I don’t go there often. I’m also not a gel person, I get weekly manis and constantly change my mani because my nails grow so fast. I also think long nails are gross. Below is their pricing:
*Note: Paintbox only removes soft gel (not hard gel, extensions, or any type of acrylics).
