Finger Buffet Menu
Keep in mind that menu prices are approximations based on time ($50 per hour). I have done my best to price each service option and art tier out based on this hourly rate, but prices may fluctuate slightly up or down depending on amount of time/skill involved in final product. Within these parameters, know I’m happy to work within any budget and will do my best to be transparent about possible price increases before your service.
Services:
$50.00 • Unstructured Gel Manicure: A gel manicure on natural nails. This unstructured manicure can 1-5 weeks, and can be soaked off. Price includes nail shaping, cuticle clean up, and 1 color of your choice.

Nail Art
Nail Art is what Finger Buffet is all about! Art is fully customizable. You can pick an idea from the menu below, bring an idea with you (there’s a place to upload this at booking), or ask me to help you brainstorm something unique. Inspo can be another nail set you’ve seen, or literally anything (ex: a swatch of fabric, a picture of a sunset, or your favorite movie). The tiers below will help you price your idea.
The per nail price reflects the approximate cost of a single nail in this tier. Book single nail tiers in the add ons if you want only a few nails with art, or use it to book a full art manicure with various art tiers. Painting each nail differently takes more time than painting every nail identically, which reflects the higher per nail price estimate.
