\nUpscale Salons<\/td>\n | $12-15<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n The polish itself is factored into the price. Higher-end brands like OPI and Essie do command more than generic drugstore polishes. Unique finishes like chrome, textured glitters, or mirrored effects may also cost slightly more.<\/p>\n But in general, you can expect to budget about an extra $10 on top of your base manicure cost for a polish upgrade. This adds a customizable, colorful final touch with no additional work on your part. For less than a discounted blow-out or pedicure, your nails exit the appointment looking Insta-worthy fabulous.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc85<\/p>\n Getting the Perfect Nail Polish Manicure<\/h2>\nDecide if you want regular or gel polish<\/h3>\nWhen getting a manicure that includes nail polish, the first decision is whether you want regular nail polish or gel polish. Gel polish is more long-lasting but takes longer to apply and remove. Regular polish is quicker but doesn’t last as long without chipping.<\/p>\n If you want your mani to look perfect for 2 weeks or more, opt for gel. If you don’t mind some minor chips after 5-7 days, regular polish will do the trick!<\/p>\n Choose your nail length and shape<\/h3>\nBefore painting your nails, decide if you want to keep your current length and shape or switch it up! Short rounded nails are classic. Squoval (square with rounded edges) and almond shapes are trendy right now. You can also go long if you prefer a dramatic look.<\/p>\n Let your nail tech know if you want your nails shortened or filed into a new shape before polishing.<\/p>\n Select your nail polish color and finish<\/h3>\nNow for the fun part – picking the perfect polish! The possibilities are endless. Go for a solid cream shade or add some sparkle with a shimmery metallic or glitter polish. Sheer and jelly finishes are big for 2023 too. Neutrals like nude and light pink are timeless. Bold brights and pastels are fun.<\/p>\n Dark vampy shades are sexy and edgy. Matte textures look sophisticated. The choice is yours!<\/p>\n Consider extras like art or rhinestones<\/h3>\nBasic polish gives a clean, elegant look. But you can jazz it up with nail art or embellishments! Some popular options are:<\/p>\n \n- Flowers, polka dots, stripes, geometric shapes<\/li>\n
- Glitter or metallic tips<\/li>\n
- Ombre fade<\/li>\n
- Rhinestones or studs<\/li>\n
- Personalized text or images<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Just ask your manicurist if you want to add something special over your color. The possibilities are endless for creativity! \u2728<\/p>\n Conclusion<\/h2>\nWhile a simple manicure focuses on cleaning and shaping nails, adding on a coat of pristine polish takes the service to another level. Understand that color application will likely cost extra time and money – but don’t be afraid to treat yourself!<\/p>\n With careful prep and choosing the perfect shade, you’ll have stunning salon nails and can show off that fabulous manicure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Getting a perfect manicure is a dream for many women who want beautiful and well-maintained nails.
