Setting: Transportation in New York ! Nail Factory is aptly named: polished concrete, big American bar ... when you enter this space dedicated to nails, you want to order a latte and coffee "chiller" reading people magazines all l afternoon between a manicure and a beauty of the feet!

Care procedure: the beauty of the hands begins with the cutting and filing of the nails, the manucurist asks you if you want them rather square or rather oval.

Then she applies a cream to soften the cuticles and asks you to dip in a small tray of water.

Once softened, it releases the nail with a small foil and then cuts with a pair of scissors all dead skin.

It is important to pay attention to this step. Indeed, if the beautician badly cuts the cuticles, it is possible that it becomes infected and turns into parsnip.

She then applies a moisturizer to make your hands soft.

Comes the fateful step of nail polish : the manucurist invites you to choose the shade you prefer from a range of OPI varnishes. A base, two coats of varnish and a toap coat later, your hands are perfect.

Note that if the beautician bomb a drying accelerator on the varnish, it takes a good quarter of an hour of drying before leaving to have nails well net.

The most: the place! The design of Nail Factory changes classic spaces to make nails! In addition, all products used for manicure are OPI .

Cons : The concept of nail bar means that care and manicure should be done quickly, but the reception deserves a little more enthusiasm. Finally, it does not offer all the range of colors of OPI but rather classic nuances.

The result: An impeccable and super fast nail polish break!

ATTENTION: victim of success, it is better to make an appointment to be sure of having room!

Prices: There is a subscription system of 1, 3, 6 or 9 months that gives you access to all treatments at preferential prices.
