The Nail Library

This is my all time favourite nail salon ever!!! This place is a DREAM and I miss it so much! It was my go-​to nail salon back in the day. I’ve yet to find a nail salon in ANY city that offers better:
1) Selection: Chanel, Marc Jacobs, YSL, Dior, OPI, Essie, Butter London, CND Shellac, appliqués, etc etc the list goes on…
2) Service: their manicurists are patient and meticulous. You’re offered complimentary drinks (champagne, wine, assortment of teas, juice anything you can think of) and snacks. After every session they gave you a set of complimentary nail buffer and cuticle stick to take away. They offer a large assortment of up to date magazines.
3) Ambience: the whole space literally looks and feels like a NYC style loft/​library with high ceilings and huge collections of nailpolishes on display. Located in Po Hing Fong it’s such a great escape from the craziness of Hong Kong.
You can tell Ping the owner really cares, from all the fine touches of décor she personally picked out to the well trained girls that work there. They also have a smaller location in Central called The Loft but this location used to be my bi-​monthly pamper sesh to de-​stress and treat myself! Loved this spot!

The Nail Library’s theme is of a New York loft-​style small bookshop or library of the 1950s.
As for the name ‘Nail Library’ — it probably is the nail salon with the world’s most extensive range of polishes. On the wooden shelves were what looked like the entire collection of the much coveted Christian Louboutin polishes, Chanel, Dior, YSL, Marc Jacobs, Burberry, Butter London, Deborah Lippmann, Ciate, OPI, Essie, and other branded polishes.
The manicurist was so careful with my nails. I get OCD when polish is uneven or if it doesn’t form an even line around my fingernails. This manicure was perfection! I wanted triangular studs at the bottom of each finger. The manicurist hit the nail on the head and gave me exactly what I wanted.
I can’t stop staring at my nails. They’re beaaaautiful! I love the colour and the triangular studs kind of match with my obsession, my Valentino Rockstuds.
