Time to bust out the new nail art for your fingers and toes with the warmer weather starting to make an appearance, and hopefully it will stick around. Mother's Day is right around the bend too. What a fun way to spend a day with your mom getting a relaxing mani or pedi!
We have compiled a list of some fantastic local nail artists and unique nail art trends to try at your next salon date.
Nail Salons
To some, nail salons are a form of self-care. The careful attention to detail and feeling pampered set you up for a relaxing day. Salons are also the perfect place to set a date with family or friends (*hint hint* for a mom date) to enjoy quality time together.
Two popular nail salons in town are Envy Nail Spa in the Strip District and Maniküre in Lawrenceville. Maniküre is located above one of our favorite local shops, Franklin & Mercer Co. Both locations are perfect to eat out and shop around with your nails on point.
Be on the lookout for Blume Nail Bar coming to the Waterworks Mall soon.

Another inspiring nail artist is Krista from Handmade Nail Studio, located here in Pittsburgh. You have to check out the photo of the amazing Baron Batch-esque nail art on her Instagram. We love supporting a fellow local woman-owned business and Krista is a one-woman show. Follow her for all the amazing drool-worthy nail art and snag an appointment while you can!
