Starting July 25, locations in New York and San Francisco will have an in-store Sephora Nail Studio Art + Lacquer Services. Sephora is partnering with XpresSpa, the nail and massage/facial place often found in airports. You can get a manicure and nail art using colors from Sephora by OPI, Illamasqua, Dior, Nars, Nails Inc. London, Perfect Formula, and Sephora Collection. There will be more nail studios to serve in other locations by the end of 2011.

When I think of Sephora, I think of testers. I’ve known women who apply make up at Sephora before going to work and friends who paint their nails “for free.” However, I think what will draw people to the nail bars is the Sephora employees and the variety of colors in their high-end nail polish supply. I’ve never had a bad experience in that store since the employees are knowledgeable and extremely polite.

Do you think you’ll go to Sephora for your next manicure?
