Best Non Toxic Nail Salon in Houston

We recently sat down with Leura Leigh Douglas, the author of The Beauty of Nails: The Classic Nail Guide, to get her favorite tips for gorgeous, nail-enhancing nails. While Leura says you don’t have to go above and beyond to get the look you want, it’s all about customization.

How to Get Amazing Nails

It’s all about having a long, glossy pedicure. It works to customize how your nails play off your skin, light, and color. Look to the behind-the-scenes videos for the same products I’m using to achieve this look for home use.

All About Nails

Look for nail stickers in cream shades in light reds and warm neutrals, like espresso or reddish-bluish.

For longer nail fingernails, try a pencil as a base.

Always peel off polish and pat dry before painting new nail lines.

Let your nails dry for as long as possible so they don’t dry out as much.

If you use gel, only use one layer.

I always recommend using thermal highlights so you get the same shine all over with a single application.

Athletic Essentials

When I went for a spin class, I went all out with my nails, painting some gold and creating a V shape shape on my fingers.

Before you go to a celebrity manicure, try nail art and nail extensions for a variation of the look.

I do a lot of digging when I’m looking for DIY nail trends.
