Best Non Toxic Nail Salon in Houston

There are few things about our nails that can be handled like an elaborate Thanksgiving turkey . . . and that’s something we should all embrace. The healthy and long nails of the past few years have put the nail industry on the map and we’re obsessed with having healthy manes of nails. Our advice is simple: go easy on the pedicure, but do indulge in a new set of nail varnishes each season to keep our manes looking healthy.

Shop your favorite nail brands to get the most out of the season and check out our picks below, and keep reading to find out the best way to decorate your nails.

Basic Tip #1: Neutral Nails are the Most Positive Choice

Yes, we get that a simple white polish is a sign of sophistication, but neutrals are the way to go when you’re looking to have something more casual than your 5 o’clock shadow. Instead of succumbing to more overdone shades (like modern macaron), take a more adventurous leap into a color that’s closer to your natural pigments. Balm-colored liners are one of the easiest styles to achieve (not to mention a hint of a darker color is most attractive) but we think anything to the lighter side of a plum- and rose-tone will make your nails look dewy.

Basic Tip #2: For Seductive Nails, You Need to Go Medium

We don’t recommend sticking with the same color for the entire season because it just looks too predictable. It’s always a smart move to switch it up (and out of your comfort zone) for every month but opt for one classic shade that you can play with each season as a way to keep things fresh. Try hot pink, deep green, or any cool shade that pairs really well with these colors.

Basic Tip #3: For Shiny Nails, Consider a White Nail Filler

Nail inners who like to wear natural and dark colors should look to the newest trend in nail polish. A premium white polish is an easy choice that isn’t as harsh as metallic colors and leaves your nails glistening and shiny, even at night. Also consider a bronzier staple that has an additional volume of color so that it won’t be too obvious to use, such as Lavender.

Basic Tip #4: Go For a Semi-Slick Look with Hand-Tied Polishes

Even though we love that slick, nail-polish-free look that seems effortless, we understand that it can be super difficult for the average person to achieve at home. You might find it challenging to find the right polish shade that compliments your hair but is also imperceptible. Here’s an easy tip that we love: use a hand-tied colored polish, which will take care of the majority of the upkeep and fight any grime that falls into your polish.

Basic Tip #5: Keep Nails Comfortable With Good Care

Nail bed makeup, wax treatments, and dryers are great ways to keep our nails healthy, but they’re also big time go-to’s for infection and fungus. The cost of hot tools paired with long-term tangle in a nail bed can be worrisome for you, especially when the health of your fingernails is already an issue.
