services.
hand painted nail art
I provide a full service manicure that focuses on maintaining & improving the health of my clients' natural nails. I start all manicures with high-end cuticle care using a gentle e-file technique which allows me to buff away the cuticle and any dry, calloused skin. I then apply a structured gel base coat which adds strength to the natural nail. All nail art is hand painted using high-end gel polish. Appointments run for a minimum of 2 hours.
Manicures generally last 4 weeks if properly cared for between appointments.
​
Pricing starts at $155.

My hand-painted press-on nails are a great way to get some dope nail art on your nails if you're unable to get to the salon, or if you've been coveting nail art that you haven't been able to get near you!

new client wait list:
When I have an opening for a new client, I contact the next person on my wait list who's schedule matches my opening, to bring them in as a new client.
If I have any cancellations that I am unable to fill, I give first priority to my wait list to fill that spot for a one-time appointment (cancellation openings are posted on instagram stories).

Nail art started as hobby for me—an outlet for my artistic inclinations. I created an instagram account (@courtdoespolish) and after 5 years of doing my own nails, I decided to take the plunge. I left a 12 year marketing career to pursue my dream of becoming a nail technician, and that's how The Nail Art Babe was born. Now I'm bring my badass art skills to your nails!

I love meeting kind people from all different walks of life - races, religions, genders, and orientations, etc. Whoever you are, I can't wait to get to know you while making your nails look fabulous!
