Best Non Toxic Nail Salon in Houston

Here’s the thing about nails. We wear so many different hues and textures that even with the best manicurists, the end result can be color-swapped disasters. It’s not difficult to create a huge change of hues in your polish, though. You can get the job done in about three weeks. The key is to use strong base coat to control it all!

“Good, strong base coat is key for any interesting nail look,” says Laura Zanon, professional nail technician and application artist at Rubys nail salon. “For example, add a blue or pink underneath a neutral base coat.” She suggests that you add a long lasting, strong base coat when you create a gradient nail art. This way, you can avoid mishaps like color streaking and uneven edges. With this in mind, Laura shares her exclusive tips for crazy-cool colors that don’t require a base coat.
