Every Nail Studio has an iPad display where you can browse and choose from different pre-designed looks, from glitter to matte to gemstones to half-moons to hand-drawn designs. If you have the Sephora iPad app, you can even decide before you get to the store.

If regular ol’ polish is your thing, a basic manicure is $15.
