Getting Nailed in the Valley

This week has been a real nail-biter, making our venture to Valley all the more essential. Over a sit/soak/snip and stellar polish, owners Nina and Julia Werman, along with super nail artist Mika Ogawa, showed us how to keep fashion at our fingertips all year long.

Right now

The biggest news? Calgel. Big in Japan (no, seriously), the organic nail gel goes on like a polish, promotes nail growth, dries ultra fast, and is chip resistant — extending the life of your mani.

Make Adriana La Cerva proud.
