Black Velvet Studio interior

FROM GEM NAILS TO BLACK VELVET

What started as Get Stoned Gem Nails — Dryden's first gem-inspired nail artistry studio — has evolved into something bigger. Black Velvet Studio is the next chapter: a creative collective where beauty, artistry, and self-expression come together under one roof.

At Black Velvet Studio, we do more than nails — we create space for self-expression, confidence, and connection. Our studio offers structured gel manicures, soft gel extensions, ingredient-conscious pedicures, and lash extensions — all with skin-safe products and expert care.

Whether you love clean girl vibes, bold nail art, or glam lashes, we're here to bring your vision to life. Come as you are, leave feeling like a gem.
