I’m loving all of the nail trends and am so excited to share them with you all, who knows, maybe you’ll be inspired to step out of your comfort zone with these!

Everyone deserves to treat themselves every once in awhile, and a fresh manicure is one of the best ways to do so. If you’re in NYC, you have to check out these nail salons, they truly are the best in the city and all of the nail technicians are so talented!

Glosslab

If you live in NYC, you probably have heard of Glosslab! They have several locations and are one of the best nail salons I’ve ever been to. What makes them stand out from all the rest, is that they have a membership program you can sign up for– unlimited mani+pedis with your choice of polish type for $100/month. A lot of times one manicure will cost almost that much, so this is truly an amazing deal! They’re incredibly hygienic there and you can even buy their gel eraser product to remove your gels at home if you can’t make it in!
