There's a reason it's in our name. 3D nail art is what we're known for, and it's what keeps clients driving across Montgomery County to sit in our chairs. Hand-sculpted flowers, intricate characters, abstract designs — if you can imagine it, our artists can build it on your nails.

Most nail salons can do a clean set of acrylics or gel. But 3D nail art? That takes real skill — and it's something our team has been perfecting for years. Every 3D element is hand-sculpted right there on your nail using acrylic or gel. We don't use stickers or pre-made charms and call it 3D. The flowers have petals. The bows have dimension. The designs pop off your nails in a way that flat art just can't match. That's why clients from Gaithersburg, Olney, Rockville, and beyond specifically seek us out for nail art.
The best part of 3D nail art is that it's completely custom. Bring us screenshots from Instagram, Pinterest boards, photos from a magazine — whatever inspires you. Our artists will work with you to figure out the best way to bring that idea to life on your nails. We can do 3D art on acrylic full sets, Gel X extensions, or even on top of a regular gel manicure. Pricing depends on the complexity of the design, so just come in or call us and we'll give you a quote before we start.



All prices are per service. Walk-ins welcome — or book online for guaranteed availability.

3D nail art means raised, three-dimensional designs sculpted directly onto your nails — think flowers with individual petals, tiny bows, characters, or abstract shapes that literally stand up off the nail surface. At 3D Nails & Spa, every element is hand-sculpted by our artists using acrylic or gel, not glued-on charms or stickers.
It depends on how detailed you want to go. Simple 3D accents on a couple of nails might add $10 to $20 on top of your base service. A full set with detailed 3D art on every nail will cost more. The best way to get pricing is to bring your inspiration photos to our Gaithersburg salon or send them to us at (240) 631-0818 — we'll give you an honest quote.
Not when it's done right. Our artists sculpt each element directly onto the nail and seal it with gel top coat, so the designs are securely bonded. With normal daily activities, they'll last as long as your base set — about 3 to 4 weeks. Just avoid using your nails as tools and they'll hold up great.
Acrylic and Gel X extensions both work really well because they give a solid, stable surface for sculpted designs. You can also add smaller 3D elements on top of a gel manicure. If you're not sure, our team can recommend the best option based on your design idea and lifestyle.
