That took about —. Cream and deep burgundy with gold leaf — a set Lan has really done. Hers takes rather longer, and lasts three weeks.

Every set here was done in the studio
No stock photos and no reference pictures borrowed from elsewhere — these are real clients' hands and feet, shot after their appointment.
Bring a screenshot of anything you like and Lan will match it — add it to the note when you book a time.
Prices, in full, before you book
Tap any service to see exactly what it includes. Two things are charged on top of the prices below — nail art, and in some cases gel removal. Both are explained under the menu.
Nail art & gel removal
Nail art is not included in any service. The price depends on the design, so mention it when you book — or bring a screenshot — and Lan will quote you before she starts. She keeps it affordable.
Gel removal is not booked as its own appointment — it is done as part of your service. What it costs depends on whether you have been in before.
Returning clients — free with any gel service, and there is nothing to add to your booking. Removal on its own is $10.
First visit — free with any Signature service. Removal on its own is not offered, and hard gel overlay removal is $10 extra.

How booking works
A booking is confirmed once a $10 deposit is transferred by PayNow to 8789 5234. The deposit comes off your bill on the day.
It is fully refundable if you cancel at least 48 hours before your appointment.
One chair, one pair of hands
Lan spent more than four years working in Sydney nail salons before running Balcony Nail Bar, a home-based studio of her own. She moved to Singapore and opened Better Nails in 2020, in the first months of Covid, to keep doing custom nail art without a salon clock running over her shoulder — and she has been sending clients home with beautiful nails, and a smile, ever since.
Because there is only one chair, there is only one client at a time. No queue behind you, nobody rushing the design, and no upselling — anything extra is quoted before she starts, never after.
The studio has an imported pedicure spa chair and over a hundred gel colours, and every tool is cleaned and UV-sterilised between clients.
What people say afterwards
Recommendations left on the Better Nails Facebook page. Shortened where marked; nothing else has been changed.
Very comfortable and cosy studio. Super love the spa chair and the owner is extremely nice! This is definitely the best homebased nail salon in Yishun!
Comfortable and pleasant experience! Nails were done exactly how I wanted!
I love her house and the service is beyond words!! I was completely relaxed and … enjoyed the whole session. Would come back again definitely!
