To get nails you’d want to show off on Instagram, these are our top go-to manicure salons.
Getting a basic manicure is one thing, most of the time, a regular paint job will turn out well, but if you’re after something more special, getting nail art done can be a bit of a gamble sometimes. You never really know what you’re going to get even after paying a small fortune, spending a few hours in the chair, and sometimes literally shedding blood and tears for the perfect set of Insta-worthy nails (although we really hope that’s not the case).
For perfectly stunning nail art, here are the best manicure salons in Singapore we’d go back to that reliably deliver consistently gorgeous results.

Simply because the 23-year-old behind this nail account, who goes by Becca, is really Singapore’s answer to Jenny Bui. In case you didn’t know, Jenny Bui’s the celebrity nail artist behind Cardi B’s elaborate nail sets. Which explains why the nail technician has a very strict aesthetic when it comes to the type of nail art she does.
Let us warn you that these aren’t for the basic of tastes. A quick peruse through her Instagram page would reveal that she sticks to her artistic principles of nail sets that involve extensions in a soft stiletto, stiletto or coffin shape.
She’s also sure to indicate that she doesn’t dabble in what she calls Japanese or Korean-style nail designs. Her intricate nail artistry can take anywhere from between two and a half hours (for simple, yet chic designs) to six hours (for detailed designs that require dedicated freehand graphics and jewellery) to complete. If that sounds like too long of a nail appointment for you to handle, fret not because she’s got water and food stocked up at her nail salon that’s located at Kallang.

Because this manicure salon promises you a set of nails so pretty that you’ll have a – yes, you guessed it – nail-gasm. We love how their nail art ranges from minimalistic nail sets to blinged-out ones that are so extra, so you’re sure to find something that suits you, regardless of your preferred designs.
The nail parlour, which recently turned one-year-old, offers a myriad of nail services to suit your needs. It ranges from an express manicure (at $28) for the times when your nails just need a quick pick-me-up to intricate nail designs with extensions (at $135).

Located at the fourth storey of Far East Plaza, the location of this nail salon makes it easy to just pop right by for a nail fix midway through shopping. The nail techs at this manicure salon are friendly, attentive and willing to go the extra mile— nail technician Jin was kind enough to do some repair work to a shoddy manicure done elsewhere sans extra cost, while most places will charge you for even getting your cuticles cut.
The salon offers prayer-friendly Orly— a halal-certified breathable nail polish— for Muslimahs as well. Plus, it’s really a one-stop-shop for your other pampering needs like eyebrow embroidery and eyelash perms.
