Sweet Life Nail Bar & Lounge

Description

If skinny British lady Rachel Ashwell, who brought Shabby Chic into the lives of upper-middle-class women nationwide, opened a salon, Sweet Life would be it. Dark mahogany-stained floors provide a foundation for light-blue chandeliers, oversized off-white linen chairs, pastel vintage doors and soft, sheer curtains in this Stapleton salon, where anything is possible as long as it involves beauty and booze. You can get a Cosmo with your manicure or an Irish creme-spiked coffee with your facial. You can also shop for jewelry and peruse local skin-care product lines. Sweet Life exclusively uses Zoya nail polish, which does not contain the harmful toxins commonly found in most brands, adding to the eco-conscious stance of the salon. It's the perfect place for bridal showers, sweet sixteens or baby showers -- though it's not just a women's club: Sweet Life offers pedicures for guys, too.
