The Petite Philosopher

Thoughtful Style.

Beauty

Nailed it.

“Often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain.” – Carl Jung

Up until two years ago, the only times I ever got a manicure were for my best friend’s wedding I was standing up in and my own wedding. Fast forward to now, I get my nails done every two to three weeks. I have a nasty habit of picking the skin around my fingers (I know it’s gross) and found that getting manicures stopped me from picking because I never wanted to ruin the nails I paid for. Not only that, but I feel like getting my nails done is a nice treat for myself where I can relax and be pampered. I have never had acrylic nails, and continuously opt to have my natural nails painted using “shellac” gel polish, which lasts for around two weeks. My nails have never felt brittle or weak, which I know some people can be concerned about.

My favourite nail salon in Windsor is Lux-Tique Nail Boutique, which I have been going to for about two years now. The salon is clean and hygienic, and the staff is always so welcoming and nice. They have an awesome selection of colours, and the technicians are very talented and up to speed with the latest nail trends.

For my most recent nail appointment I decided to try something other than my typical red or pink and opted for the new chrome trend. This process takes a little longer than the regular gel, but the end result looks really unique and futuristic.

If you’re hunting for a great nail salon, I really recommend Lux-Tique!
