Best Non Toxic Nail Salon in Houston

I started wearing nails more professionally than my boyfriend when I was about 22. I hate much of what comes out of my mouth, but I love my nails. Being too fearless with the design they form, I can’t remember the last time I had a more perfect nail.

I’ve dedicated a lot of my time to my nails because, despite so many things I’m doing right, I often get out there and do everything wrong.

Oiky Designs: This is an occasional resource, where, while I highly recommend perusing the Instagram page, I almost always give the recommendation that you use the Oiky YouTube videos for a tutorial.

You Can Have Better Nails with a Touch of Gloss

This one is just because I want to give you something fun to try! For dark nail hues, I find it easier to smooth out a polish. It works best in darker ombre, black or brown.
