Lydia's Nail Art is a nail salon at 1A Duart Road in Havelock North, Hastings, in Hawke's Bay. It keeps a Facebook page in place of a standard website, so that is the sensible spot to check for current details. A good nail salon is judged as much on hygiene as on the finished set: metal tools should be sterilised between clients, and files, buffers and anything that cannot be washed should be single-use. Gel polish is the other thing worth understanding — it wears for weeks, but it should be soaked off gently rather than picked or peeled, since forcing it takes layers of the natural nail with it. Regulars tend to book ahead, too, because a trusted technician's chair fills quickly before holidays and wedding season. For Havelock North locals, having a nail studio on Duart Road keeps well-kept nails close to home.
