6 Nail Salons Doing Mind Blowing Nail Art

Let's face it: It can be kind of easy to find yourself in a manicure rut, playing it safe with a shade you know you love. (Seriously, Ballet Sippers again?) So maybe it's time to treat yourself to something slightly more adventurous and jump on the nifty nail art trend. Because when the worst that can happen can be solved with a $1.99 bottle of polish remover, it's probably worth the risk. Here, six local shops in Bergen County that boast a solid nail art game.

 

From subtle stripes to glitzy glitter to superhero symbols, this salon's art runs the gamut. Patrons love the fact it's super clean and that all staff members are meticulous about sterilization. Zio also offers perks like keratin treatment gloves and they sends everyone home with their own buffer and file. Check out some of their nail art here.

 

If you're going to go all in, go here. The place specializes in intricate designs involving Swarovski crystals and 3D art. Think elaborate gem stone designs that get even more elaborate on really long nails like these. It's a pretty small spot that seems to get mixed reviews when it comes to regular old services, but worth a stop if you want to do something special. Check out some of their nail art here.

 

Studio M is a full-service salon, where you can get everything from a cut and color to brow shaping and special occasion makeup. So it makes sense that it's also added nail art to its one-stop-shopness. The technicians' work skews simple (a starfish on one finger or some pretty polka dots, for example) but they can step it up to provide more elaborate designs if that's what you're looking for.
