Just The Tips

Vanessa is really talented. She cleans your nails, cares about the health of your nails and works with precision. She has an incredible variety of colors and types of polish. This is coming from a person who gets just color and doesn't get to experience all of Vanessa's talents. She is one of those rare people that really takes pride in doing a good job. My gel polish actually lasts 4+ weeks and I am constantly working with my hands in food, water, paint and clay. I change it out every 4 weeks only because my nails grow out quickly. Thanks Vanessa!

This was my first gel art manicure and it was delightful. Vanessa worked with me in advance to develop the design idea and then, through truly artistic trial-and-error, made some uniquely beautiful come to life on my short nails. They are like little paintings and I adore them!

Vanessa was lovely and super talented. My nails are beautiful!

I have been seeing Vanessa for ten months, and as long as she'll have me I'll never see anyone else. Six months ago, when I moved from Oakland to SF, I still didn't stop traveling to OAK to see her. Everything I've asked her for, from "classy funeral" to "goth" to "lisa frank" to "david bowie" she's delivered. I'm hard on my nails too.

The couple of times I've had problems, Vanessa coached me through an at home repair and worked on ways she could improve for next time given my unique lifestyle. This last part might sound trite, but I'm really grateful that I started seeing Vanessa. When I look down at my nails and the beautiful custo

Vanessa is an amazing nail artist. Whatever you need, whether it is stamping or custom design she can do it. Her space is also really amazing, good tunes and vibes in the studio. I've been coming to see her for months now and she always delivers better than expected. Her work is very high quality, my gels and manicures last for weeks even with the tough abuse I put my fingers and hands through daily.
