Where we're going today: Mellow Nail Artistry
Perfect nails are an essential accessory for the modern woman. With so many great nail bars across Riyadh, Mellow Nail Artistry is emerging as a go-to for new styles. For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @ Mellow offers a range of Instagram-worthy nail art. A wide selection of mermaid-themed, animal print, floral and ombre polish varieties is available. From our experience, their technicians are excellent at creating different designs, from textured nails to chrome and cat-eye gel. Prices are added on based on the time it takes to complete the design, ranging from SR60 ($16) for 15 minutes to SR180 for an hour. While it may be considered pricey, the results are worth it. Their classic manicures and pedicures always start off with a warm soak, a scrub to remove any dead skin, filing and shaping of the nails, cuticle cleaning, and a moisturizer to prep the nails just before the polish is applied. If you're in a hurry, their Quick Fix service is a fast (and cheap) option to give your nails a little pick-me-up, which includes filing and cutting nails and an application of a regular polish. You can also opt for Shellac polish, which lasts longer, for an extra charge. Their all-female, lively staff are particularly inviting, making you feel right at home. The space is also extremely relaxing with a luxurious feel, featuring an Ottoman bath-inspired central fountain, sage accents, and lush greenery. While you're getting your service done, you can sip on some coffee, tea, or a refreshing iced hibiscus herbal infusion.
