One of my biggest "me-time" pleasures is getting weekly manicures and bimonthly pedicures. I usually pop in to one of the quick, no appointment needed, Vietnamese-run nail salons whose ladies (and sometimes gents) get the job done quickly and efficiently.
Wouldn't it be nice to really disconnect for an hour each week without the hustle and bustle of a busy nail salon? Say hello to côte--a very special nail spa centrally located in Brentwood, Los Angeles. If you are looking for the best and most relaxing mani-pedi of your life, this is your spot (I highly recommend the hot stone pedicure)!
The salon's concept and interior was inspired by California meets the South of France beach lifestyle. There are over 100 hand-poured polishes to choose from, and a selection of curated home accents, body goods and fashion accessories.
The côte-formulated nail colors are free of the five major toxins (formaldehyde, dibutyl phthalate, toluene, camphor and formaldehyde resin) often associated with nail polish.
cote's fab hand-poured nail shades. Nail polish is $16 per bottle and can be ordered on line at coteshop.co.
Try a half moon manicure for a fun, edgy look with two of the new côte Fall collection nail colors.
côte nail shades: No. 102 (grey), and No. 76 (midnight blue)
