Nails & More has pretty great mani/pedis for $20 around Manhattan. I like the one on W 27th Street.

[...] mani — like pizza and beer — should be cheap and available to all. Brokelyn’s covered some of our favorite nickel-and-dime nail shops in the past. We’re revisiting the topic after Time Out New York ran a list of the best affordable [...]

I’ve been going to Nails Plus on Church and 4th Street in Kensington for over 5 years. The absolute best gel pedicure in town!

South Park Slope – 5th ave and 21st – Diamond Nail Salon. It’s not much to look at but no fear – $10 pedi and if I recall correctly, a mani/pedi is $12. Simple, no problems, a little bit of a massage chair and foot scrub. I wouldn’t recommend anything other than having nails done, but what a deal!

In light of the negative comments, I went back to L & C to see if I had just gotten lucky. But I have to say that once again I was impressed, especially with the sloughing or exfoliation or whatever it’s called. No bubbling problems, but I should also note that I bring my own polish too (in addition to the tools) so I can fix it myself if it chips.

Re L&C, the good news is that the polish lasted almost a week; however, the bad news it was a redo as they put it on too thick so when my nails were under the dryer, the polish bubbled. The man who runs the place was not happy that I brought it to his attention. He had her redo it. I would add to take your own sandals. Not sure I’ll return there, even though they are around the corner from me. There’s another shop across Cortelyou…not as plush.

Wow, so sorry about L&C! Have only had good experiences there (but I always bring my own tools)

Tried L& C recently & was beyond disappointed. Their instruments were rusty & I have been finding out that they as well as many nail salons use fake Essie polish (N.K Nail Salon @ Newkirk Plaza admitted it). They just refill empty Essie bottles with cheap polish.
The rusty instruments should have been my cue to scram but I went through w/the mani. After, I stayed to dry my nails but the polish ended up with the worst bubbles ever…
They do great eyebrows though!!
