About Nail Crafts

This shop is written for whoever is holding the tool, whether that is a full station on Vermont Avenue or someone doing their own nails at a kitchen table on a Sunday.

Polish is the easy half of the business to buy. There is a colour for everything, and choosing between them is a matter of taste. Implements are not like that. A nipper that goes blunt inside a month, a file that sheds its grit halfway through a set, a drill that heats up in the hand — each of those makes the work slower and the result rougher, and none of it shows in a photograph.

So Nail Crafts stocks the unglamorous half: cuticle nippers and pushers, files and buffers in the grits that get used, cordless drills, art brushes and stampers, table mats, and the disposable kits that keep a busy day moving. Prices run from a few dollars for consumables up to a full leather-cased set.

Where a line is built for salon use we say so, and where it is a lighter kit meant for occasional work at home we say that instead. The two are not the same and pretending otherwise wastes a professional's money.

The counter is at 1724 S Vermont Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90006, United States, open Mon-Sat 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM | Sun 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM. Orders ship from the same place.
