Buzzworthy

Honey Nail Salon & Boutique

You’ve finally come to terms with your naughty-list status.

Not so bad, considering getting there kept you on your toes all year.

Restore them at cottage-housed Honey Nail Salon, where self-indulgence is alive, kicking, and very much on the nice list.

Start by selecting a scent to incorporate into your treatments. (This week’s include nectar, honey almond, and tea tree peppermint.) Grab a plush chair in the front room for a pedicure or retreat to the quieter, manicure-only banquettes in the sitting room — where oils and antiseptics are stored in pretty bottles.

Honey also does waxing (see the None of Your Beeswax menu) in sweet-smelling, massage-tabled suites. The retail area stocks bath products and accessories that have caught owner Holly Reeves Lacascia’s eye (look for Coleccion Luna and Vivier bags in the next week or so).

That should give you something to look forward to.

Aside from the guaranteed coal.
