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 never misses, nails ALWAYS last 3+ weeks (sometimes up to 5) - bonus: she keeps the snacks on deck and the vibes elite
