7 local nail artists taking nail art to a new level

Who doesn’t love having a beautiful set of nails? I’m religious about it. I spend weeks excitedly planning my next set. When the time comes, I’ll travel an hour-and-a-half to reach my nail tech. Why? Because her attention to detail and skill at painting tiny little bits of art on my nails is phenomenal, and that’s hard to come by.

There are few things that make me feel more fierce than having an ornate set of nails on. I know I’m not the only one! That’s why, as inspiration for your next set, I’ve rounded up 7 local nail techs who are taking nail art to a new level. Are they in your area? Then consider booking an appointment in advance! If not, let’s just marvel at this level of detail:
