Their own nail salon in Long Beach, California—Hey, Nice Nails!—serves as a haven for anyone seeking more than the average manicure. Fans outside of California can get their fix at the sisters’ Etsy shop that features custom and hand-painted acrylics, and from browsing their blog’s tutorials or their daily Instagram shots. The young entrepreneurs have been featured in such publications as The Huffington Post, Allure, Marie Claire, StyleList, and MTV’s style blog, and they’ve been raved about throughout the happening nail-art blogosphere.
