Nail Art & Beauty Gallery
Recent nail art, manicures and pedicures created one client at a time in Metairie.
Nail art is a specialty at Bella’s Beauty Bar. This gallery shows a selection of work by Tina Pham, from clean everyday manicures to detailed, hand-painted designs. Use it for inspiration, then bring your favorite photos to your appointment so the design can be adapted to your nail shape, length and style.
The newest designs are posted on Instagram at @bellasbeautybarnola. When you find a look you love, check the services page to choose the right appointment type, since detailed nail art needs a little more time than a standard manicure.
Getting the most out of a custom design
A great nail design starts with a little planning. Here are a few tips that help every set turn out the way you imagine:
- Bring two or three reference photos. Showing a few examples of colors, finishes or patterns you like makes it easier to agree on the final look.
- Think about your nail length and shape. Some designs need more space than others. Our guide on choosing a nail shape explains how shape changes the way a design looks.
- Plan around the occasion. Mardi Gras, a wedding, a holiday party or game day all call for different styles. Browse New Orleans-inspired nail art ideas for seasonal inspiration.
- Protect the finish. Daily cuticle oil and gloves for cleaning help detailed designs last. See how to make a gel manicure last longer.
Keep in mind that every set is adapted to the client wearing it. Nail length, nail-bed shape and skin tone all change how a design looks, and colors can appear slightly different on screen than in person. That is why the best results come from a quick conversation at the start of your appointment about what you love in a photo and how to make it work for your hands.
