Daria is incredible!! I’ve never had my nails longer or healthier and my manicure lasts perfectly 3 to 4 weeks. She is so thorough, kind and talented. Can’t recommend her and TK nails enough!

Manicure with Gel Polish + Hard Gel
Perfect for clients who want a stronger, longer-lasting manicure with a clean, glossy finish.
This service is a great option if you want your natural nails to feel more supported while still looking fresh, polished, and put together. It focuses on the essential care your nails need while adding the strength of hard gel and the shine of gel polish.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Manicure Gel Polish and Hard Gel service?
It is a manicure that combines hard gel for added strength and structure with gel polish for color and shine. It is a great fit if you want your natural nails to feel more supported while still looking polished and put together.
Who is this service a good fit for?
It suits anyone who wants a bit more durability and protection for their natural nails without committing to full extensions. It is especially popular with people who find regular gel polish chips or bends too easily.
How long do the results typically last?
Gel polish over hard gel typically lasts longer than a standard gel polish manicure, though wear time can vary depending on your nail growth and daily habits. For guidance specific to your nails, feel free to ask when you book.
How do I book an appointment?
You can book online through the TK Nails website seven days a week. You are also welcome to call the salon if you have questions before booking.
How should I care for my nails after the appointment?

Diana Lollie
Best hard gel Russian manicure on the westside! And Dasha is the very best technician! I’ve been getting my nails done regularly for over 30 years and I have experienced it all when it comes to nail shops. TK nails is great and my go-to every time I get my nails done. IYKYK that Russian manicures are general pricier than regular manicures and for good reason. They last longer and look so much cleaner and polished! My hard gel Russian manicures at TK Nails by Dasha always last 4-5 weeks. It’s worth every penny.

I went into TK Nails having never had a Russian style Manicure. I Loved it! It was an extremely gentle procedure that left my hands looking and feeling perfectly New. Not painful at all and just an all around relaxing and welcoming experience. — Definitely will be my go-to spot when in the LA area.
