Nail Studio · Belmont / 12 South · Nashville
Quiet, considered,
a little nail-ish.
Nail-ish Studio is a cozy two-chair studio at 702 18th Ave S in Nashville's Belmont/12 South area — gel manicures, BIAB, Gel-X extensions, and custom nail art, done with an unhurried, minimalist touch.
Our Studio
A small studio, built around real attention
Tucked into the Belmont/12 South area at 702 18th Ave S, Nail-ish Studio keeps things intentionally small — just two chairs, so every set gets full attention rather than being squeezed between walk-ins.
Clients consistently point to the same things: a spotless space, a friendly and knowledgeable hand from technician Liz, and results that clearly reflect real care and skill — not a rushed assembly line.
