The Art of Nails Newmarket

About The Art of Nails Newmarket

The Art of Nails Newmarket is a premium nail salon inside Westfield Newmarket, part of a four-salon Auckland group established in 2014. The Newmarket salon holds a 4.9 star rating from over 4,500 reviews, reflecting the brand's overall standard of 20,000+ verified reviews across its Commercial Bay, Newmarket, Ponsonby and Albany locations.

Every service is delivered by a qualified nail technician trained to protect natural nail health rather than just deliver a short-term look, using professional-only systems and natural-based skincare enriched with essential oils. The menu spans classic manicures and pedicures through to the salon's signature Russian Manicure and Pedicure — a dry, e-file based technique that avoids cutting and delivers results lasting three to five weeks — alongside a full range of nail enhancement systems, natural nail treatments, and a dedicated men's grooming menu.

The Art of Nails also runs a rotating weekly discount at each salon, sells gift vouchers redeemable across all four locations, and offers a membership option for regular clients wanting two to three sessions a month.

The Art of Nails Newmarket: Premium Manicures and the Russian Technique

Inside Westfield Newmarket, The Art of Nails brings its premium nail care standard to Broadway, one of four Auckland salons that have built a genuinely strong reputation since the business was established in 2014. The Newmarket salon carries a 4.9 star rating from more than 4,500 reviews, part of a brand-wide total of over 20,000 verified reviews across all locations.

A standard built on nail health

What sets The Art of Nails apart, according to the salon itself, is a genuine focus on nail health rather than short-term looks. Every service is delivered by a qualified nail technician trained specifically to protect the natural nail, using professional-only systems chosen for performance, safety and longevity, alongside natural-based skincare enriched with essential oils. It's a standard the brand says is consistent across all four of its Auckland salons.

The Russian Manicure and Pedicure

The salon's standout offering is its Russian Manicure and Pedicure, built around an advanced e-file cuticle technique rather than traditional cutting. The process removes dead skin and cuticle tissue with precision, leaving the nail bed immaculate, and results are genuinely long-lasting — three to five weeks according to the salon, well beyond a standard manicure. Both treatments run around an hour to an hour and twenty minutes, finish with gel polish or an OPI/ORLY colour of choice, and need to be booked in advance given limited availability at each salon.

From express to luxury

For a quicker visit, the Express Manicure or Pedicure covers buffing, shaping and polish for those on the go, while the Classic option adds cuticle care and a moisturising treatment. The hour-long Luxe treatment goes further still, with a revitalising foot bath, exfoliation, a hydrating clay mask, a relaxing massage, paraffin treatment and a full moisturising finish. The Naked Botanica menu offers an efficient Essential Express Manicure or Pedicure that can be customised with add-ons like a clay mask, restorative massage or an IBX strengthening treatment, and the polish-free BotaniShine Nail Ritual uses New Zealand-sourced beeswax and botanicals to enhance the natural shine and strength of bare nails.

Nail enhancement systems

For clients wanting length or added strength, The Art of Nails offers a genuinely broad range of enhancement systems — a traditional acrylic full set, the Gelish PolyGel hybrid system, Aprés Gel-X soft gel tips in a range of shapes, a dipping powder system for a chip-resistant, gel-like finish lasting over ten days, and an ORLY gel builder system for a crystal-clear, self-levelling extension base.

Natural nail care and men's grooming

The salon's most luxurious offering is Luxuria Naturel, a 90-minute natural nail and hand treatment using rotating premium skincare from Dior, Chanel and Jo Malone, alongside exfoliation, massage and cuticle care. IBX and Orly Bodyguard treatments are also available for strengthening weaker nails from the inside out. A dedicated Men's Manicure & Pedicure menu, in Classic or Lux tiers, rounds out the offering with a matte or glossy finish.

Each Art of Nails salon runs a rotating 10% discount on selected services on its own day of the week, visible directly when booking through Fresha.

Credit card payments incur a 3% surcharge, all services are guaranteed but non-refundable, and no-show appointments may incur a charge.
