Nail Art Ideas: Trending Designs at Verdo Parnell

Express yourself through your nails. At Verdo Parnell, our technicians create everything from subtle elegance to bold statement nails.

The Science: Brittle nails are managed by keeping the nail plate and the skin around it moisturised, and by avoiding repeated wetting and harsh removal. That is the job a cuticle oil is doing. We have not found a study that puts a number on it, so we will not give you one. (Chessa et al., 2020)

Popular Nail Art Styles

Classic French Tips ($20)

A timeless look that never goes out of style. We offer traditional white tips, modern coloured French and thin-line micro French.
