If you hate getting chipped nails and love nail art, this might be the salon for you. Kiyosa Japanese Total Beauty specializes in gel nail art with handpainted patterns, glitter, and rhinestones. Because of the combination of nail art and gel technology, be prepared to shell out a bit more for these nails. Simple art, gradation, or French tip starts at P2,200 for hands, P2,500 for feet, and P4,000 for mani and pedi.

I Do Nails

For a subtle approach to nail art, try a charm or two on an accent nail or nail stamping at I Do Nails. Nail stamp designs vary from illustrations (a rose on your pale pink polish perhaps?) to patterns (think houndstooth, plaid, and the like). Try their nail foil for a holographic look that's a lot less complicated than you think. Nail art stamping is priced at P300 for one design and P400 for two.
