At Apricot Nails, we believe your nails are more than just nails – they’re tiny, beautiful canvases for your personality. Whether you're vibing with subtle designs or full-on statement art, nail art in Melbourne has seriously levelled up – and we’re here for it.
From soft minimalism to extra-extra sparkle, nail art is all about expressing who you are, right down to your fingertips. Your favourite colours, your current mood, even your favourite snacks (yes, we’ve done food-themed sets before) – it’s all fair game.
Mediums We Play With: Beyond Polish
When it comes to creating art on nails, there’s a whole lot more than just a brush and some polish. At Apricot Nails, I work with all kinds of mediums to bring your dream nails to life:
✨ Inks for soft, dreamy designs
✨ Gems for that luxe, glimmering finish
✨ Shell pieces for beachy, earthy textures
✨ Foils for pops of metallic magic
✨ Isolated chrome for sleek, futuristic highlights
✨ Glitters (chunky or fine – we love both)
✨ Nail art pencils for delicate sketches and detailing
It’s not just about slapping on some glitter and calling it a day. I’m an artist, and every set is crafted with an eye for balance, colour harmony, and what will actually look amazing on your nails.
Healthy Nails Come First: BIAB and Russian Manicure
Gorgeous nail art is only as good as the base it’s built on – and that’s where our love for BIAB (Builder in a Bottle) and Russian manicures comes in.
BIAB is perfect if you want strength without bulk. It helps your natural nails grow stronger and healthier, all while giving you a beautiful, clean canvas for any art you want.
Russian manicures take nail prep to the next level. It’s an ultra-detailed method of cuticle care (and a bit of an obsession at Apricot Nails), meaning a neater finish, longer-lasting polish, and overall healthier nails. Plus, it makes your nail art look even sharper and more polished.
We don’t believe in damaging nails just to get a look. Everything we do – from the products we use to the techniques we swear by – is designed to protect your natural nails while making them look insanely good.
