Update: I take back my review from 10 years ago. They reverted the prices and everything is super affordable! Totally recommend if you're a nail design enthusiast like myself. read more

Recently picked up Essie polishes for $3.25. Essie shades are listed by numbers (see photos) so come prepared with numbers rather than names of shades. The owners speak limited English but do speak Mandarin. They carry recent shades (Spring 2018 colors) as well! Limited selection of top and base coats, but they carried Seche Vite top coats. Cash only! The store is small and dimly lit but the owner lets you browse for a long time and will come by every so often to see if you need help. He's very nice although he does just stand around sometimes as you browse (well intentioned although it can be awk). Will be back! read more

Not the best customer service but who cares. Cheap nail polish and tons of choices! Best to go when you know what color you want. They did have the most recent essie colors. Looks like a warehouse/wholesale place but they let you buy individual bottles. Would definitely go again! read more

Ace Beauty Supply - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Flushing, New York

This is a wholesaler so don't expect a beautiful storefront. The staff here are very helpful with no attitudes given. I found this place via yelp and went solely for nail polish and was not disappointed. I do have to say that down the block along Farrington St. are a few more nail supply wholesalers with bigger and neater store fronts, but all these stores really sell the same things for the same price. I'm only deducting one star because there are quite a few nail polishes that seem a bit too old for use and that deterred me from getting some pretty colors. You could tell when the polish separates in the bottle and that's the only thing that threw me off, but whatever, saved me a few bucks and saved me from going crazy with the colors. Prices as of June 2015: Essie - $3.25 OPI - $4.00 Duri - $2.75 China Glaze / Color club - I saw a sign that said "black caps" $2.50 aka the ones with the black top, but dunno how the pricing works with the white capped bottles. Honestly though, IDC because I hate China Glaze and Color Club that I can barely tell them apart anymore. I think the colors are crappy, trashy, and they don't stay on half as well as the other brands mentioned above. Professional Size refill bottle of Seche Vite top coat (Seche is life, guys.) - $15.00 ! read more

Ace Beauty Supply - $19.75 for all this - not complaining :) - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Flushing, New York

I can't recommend this place enough! I went during COVID, they check your temp, take your info, and have sanitizer for you to use! They have the best prices on any and all nail supplies! Cuticle oil, files, tools, essie, opi, nail decals! They're friendly and I love this place! read more

another updated review! i've been coming here more often than my other usual spots on Farrington St. because Ace ALWAYS have the newest collections. it's awesome because when i want new nail polishes, i WILL be able to find them there (hello OPI Nordic collection, OPI 50 shades of grey collection!). the OPI polishes are $4 and they're tax free, so they have the best prices around. don't let the warehouse like appearance deter you, go and you will be in nail polish heaven. :-) read more

I needed monomer urgently and I found this gem. It was New Years and I went at around 4:45 pm. A lot of stores closed early but this one was open until 6 (I called ahead). They didn't rush me at all and I went with my family so they all got excited and picked stuff up and NO ONE BOTHERED US. They have a huge selection of polishes and sets even GLAM AND GLITS (which is hard to find IN STORE + WITH A REASONABLE PRICE). The essie polishes was $3.25 so I picked up 10 lol. OPI was $5 Duri was $2.75. The swatch sticks they had were very helpful in picking colors. The newly released polishes are up front by the cashier. I listed the prices for each item in the products list below. I'm not a licensed tech but I do nails. They literally have materials for everything. Even big quantities of cuticle cleanser, monomer, acetone etc. The bottles to contain each liquid are sold separately. I loved the acrylic sets they had because I can do colorful nail sets without wasting any acrylic by buying the small 1 oz. acrylic pots. My total came up 178.50 for everything and they gave me an itemized list of each thing (plus some free goodies). The stuff is a bit dusty but it doesn't look old or spoiled. I took their card because I will update my review when I go back. THEY ACCEPT CASH AND CARD. Products List: LV nail decals $15 Mia secret all the blues colored acrylic (6 colors) $25 2 ceramic nail drill bits $9 each 16 oz. Mia secret monomer $26 10 Essie polishes $3.25 each 1 non wipe top coat $10 3 color blend glam and glits powder $12 each 1 DND nail set $6 2 straight edge nail clippers $2 each 1 cuticle cleaner $5 and 1 mighty block $1.50 The emery board and 2 pedicure tools were given to us FOR FREE. read more

Ace Beauty Supply - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Flushing, New York

They have some of the best prices for nail supplies here. They usually have new nail polish collections/colors at the counter where you pay. They cost slightly more than the regular $3 - $4 polishes. I really like the Essie color range. The Duri polishes is not as long lasting as Essie polishes. OPI is not bad either. read more

Ever since Alice L. brought me to this warehouse, I have been obsessed with buying nail polish from Ace Beauty Supply. This place is a gold mine for all of you girls who have more nail polishes than you have nails to paint*. Hidden in an isolated part of Flushing, this location boasts a wide range of colors from Essie and OPI, $3.50 and $4 respectively. The retail value for these brands are in the $7-$9 range. The polishes at Ace are all new and NOT watered down, unlike most sold in Flushing. The selection is constantly being updated. (The new OPI Pirates of the Carribean collection and the shattered nail polishes ($6) have recently been added to their shelves.) Remember to bring extra cash; they do not take credit card. *Please tell me I'm not alone... read more

Cash only. Great selection of colors. $3.25 for Essie and $4.00 for OPI, including base coat and top coat read more

Love this place!! if you're looking for essie or any nail polish for a great price, COME HERE! literally can buy 3 polishes for the price of one. Essie is around $3 each! super cheap compared to drugstore ~$8.50 read more

Very poor costumer service! Went in to buy a couple of supplies and ask what's the difference of the two uv gel pens and the front desk lady did not even bother answering! Also beware if you are in the store for over 5 min they will stare at you making sure that you don't 'steal'. read more

I love this place $3.50 for Essie nail polish! The guy that works there didn't even acknowledge that I was in the store (I was the only one there) however I wasn't there to make friends. I did get some great colors even the new shades. read more

It's kind of in a gritty neighborhood but they have a wide range of nail polishes for CHEAP, so honestly, who cares? They sell things at wholesale price so I never buy nail polishes at pharmacies or Sephora anymore. read more

Ace Beauty Supply - The best, fast drying nail polish top coat I've ever used! - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Flushing, New York

I love this place. the owner is very sweet and the prices are low. it is a hole in the wall but an absolute gem. its my favorite one on the block read more

I saw all the positive reviews about this place so I went to check it out. But instead I got stares from the employees and they followed me around. read more

I'll share my experience and let you be the judge of whether or not this place deserves your time or your business. It was a warm summer night and I was waiting for the Q50 a block or so away when I noticed the storefront still had it's lights on. I am naturally nosy by nature and had about 30 minutes to kill before the next bus came so I wandered down towards the lights to have a look (hoping it was food, but that's neither here nor there). So, after realizing this store sells beauty supply stuff, although the first things I saw were nail polish and that's pretty much the only thing I'd seen while I was getting lost in the aisles and aisle of affordable and (seemingly) up to date nail polishes. After grabbing one that I thought would be great to try I walked up to the register. I wasn't really acknowledged so I just waited as they played around with the register and spoke to each other. Keep in mind, I had thirty minutes to kill, so waiting wasn't a problem especially since I work in customer service and it might've been almost time to close. I get it, you have paperwork that needs to be done and you have to close out registers, put receipts in order, inventory and the like. So, after about 6 minutes of waiting another woman appears next to me waiting to be rung up and they ring her up promptly and talk to her a bit. I ask the guy (not the woman) behind the counter why is it that no one even attempted to ring me up when I had been standing there patiently and was given an excuse about how they are not supposed to even sell these as single items. I didn't even notice what the other woman had bought but I highly doubt it was a giant purchase since she was in and out in a flash. After telling them that this is poor customer service and if that's the store rule it should be written or displayed so that people will know there is a minimum on merchandise the woman behind the counter gets nasty. She tells me that basically I can just deal with the lack of service because I am not a nail technician so I should essentially be grateful that they would be even willing to let me get away with buying one nail polish even if I have to wait like a second class citizen. I ask her how she knows whether I am or am not a technician and how she can tell my profession from looking at me which she scoffs and smirks at me and then talks to the man beside her. He motions for me to put my polish down so I can pay and leave, but I put the polish on the counter and walked out. I have not been back since and I don't recommend them to people to go there if they need anything, polish or otherwise. read more

Great place to go for affordable nail polish. Got 3 regular essie nail polishes and an Essie top coat for 14.75!! There are signs on some aisles that offer free polish with the purchase of a certain amount (buy two get one free, etc.). Super cheap and great quality. I'll definitely be back!! read more

Thanks to Emily C. for finding this place! If you are looking for Essie or OPI nail polish for cheap this is the place to go. The prices are still $3.50 and $4. This place is essentially a wholesale store for Nail Salons. They sell all the supplies that can be found in a salon plus more. Just a warning the area looks sketchy since its in the factory/warehouse section of Flushing. Definitely take a friend who is up for an adventure. You seriously feel like you are walking into a very weird situation but the people inside are nice. Bring cash! read more

Essie polishes and OPI polishes galore. Polishes look a little old but nothing some thinner can't fix. Essie is 3.25 and OPI is 4.25 in case you are wondering. If you need polishes at a good price, definitely check this place out. read more

Great find! Not an upscale neighborhood or store, but safe so who cares. $3.25 Essie and you can't beat that. A slew of colors and the 2 gentlemen working the day I went were more than helpful and even gave me a free nail file. Welll worth the trip but check the hours - they close at 2pm on Saturday. I'll be back. read more

Absolutely love this place. And yes they do accept credit card!!! They arent very savy on what they sell but if your a pro and know what you want this is the place. I commute almost 2 hours just to get here read more

My Asian friend who knows the ins and outs of Flushing brought me to this place. Seems like everybody here has been brought by a friend lol. I was looking for nail polishes, but I found out they have other things like, professional grade wax, body lotions, etc. I definitely agree that the neighborhood is located in an industrial and shady looking area, but the people that helped me were friendly. I saved a lot of money coming here and customer service was nice, although the sales people do have a little bit of accents, but I will continue coming back. I will never buy nail polish from Sally's or Sephora again; this is my new favorite and secret joint! read more

I own a nail salon in NY and i buy all my supplies in bulk at ACE Beauty Supply. Frank Sung is a super friendly guy who is always happy to order things for me that aren't in stock. They have a lot the latest colors and trends that my customers are looking for (even OPI matte colors) and all at a pretty good price! They have everything from nail implements to salon furnishings (massage chairs, manicure tables, etc). read more
