Best Non Toxic Nail Salon in Houston

You think you’ve seen it all when it comes to how to achieve summer-ready nail enamels and options, but new innovations continue to redefine the nails of the future. Before we delve into a few of these newest options, keep in mind that, currently, manicures are the primary preoccupation of the beauty world. But that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t constantly be included in our makeup routines as well. Nothing works as well as a great base coat to keep your skin looking healthy and fresh. To prep for your mani that will wake you up in the morning with an extra boost of scent and flavor, consider adding finely cut and crafted microgreens to your traditional gel and clear coat colors, or seeking out the “Emerald Green,” which has more tiny, edible herbs in it — think mint, grapefruit, cilantro, lemongrass, basil, and ginger.

We spoke with the celebrity manicurist Mel Ottenberg of Hello Mel and Beauty Brands to get the inside scoop on how to use flowers, microgreens, and natural ingredients to jazz up your mani and create a healthy and natural look. Here’s what Mel shared with us.
