A quick guide

Types of Nails

New to acrylic, Gel-X, or BIAB? Here's a quick, plain-language guide to the most popular nail types we offer at Palace Nail Spa in Midtown Tallahassee, so you can pick what's right for you.

Prices shown are cash prices, always our best price. Card prices, debit or credit, run 3% higher; that covers the card networks' processing cost.

Acrylic

Acrylic nails combine liquid and powder into a strong, durable layer over the natural nail or a tip, great for length and bold shapes. A regular-polish acrylic full set starts at $35. Acrylic with gel polish or powder starts at $50. Extra length, special shapes, French tips, removal, and custom art are priced separately.

Gel-X

Gel-X is a soft-gel extension where full-cover tips are cured under a lamp for instant, lightweight length with no acrylic powder. Apres Gel-X full sets start at $60.

Builder Gel / BIAB

Builder Gel (BIAB) is a thicker strengthening gel applied like polish. It adds structure over your natural nails while they grow, with a smooth finish, and starts at $60.

Poly Gel

Poly gel is a hybrid of acrylic and gel, strong but lighter and more flexible, for comfortable extensions or overlays.

Dip Powder

Dip powder is a long-lasting, lightweight color system sealed without a UV light for the color step, with extra durability for natural nails.
