Finally, a nail bar that I love, close to home! Tips Nail Bar at Dundas and Dovercourt.  When I do get my nails done, I prefer intricate nail art and shellac. I haven’t done artificial nails in over a decade. As I got older it made less sense, especially because I use my hands a lot and artificial nails would get in the way of me doing just normal everyday tasks.

The first time I went to this salon I got shellac nails done with a dotted pattern. (Everyone commented on the pattern I chose, saying how much they loved it.) I got the pattern from their Instagram page, which is an awesome lookbook for designs if you don’t know what you want.

My nail polish did not chip until the end of 3 weeks since I had them done! The interior of this salon is minimalistic. Very clean interior and they don’t only do nails.

The services at Tips Nail Bar are:

Manicures
Pedicures
Brow Services
Dermalogica Facials

Be sure to also check out their ‘Mani-Cam’. It’s a camera built inside the wall. You place your hand inside this box in the wall, that is lit like a diva ring light. You take the picture and email it to yourself. Super cool! I’m really excited to go back and know that I’ll be in the experts’ hands. My favourite nail experts at this location are, Melissa (whose done my nails many many times) and Ashley who is also very talented!
