Since Fall has officially arrived, that means we can finally say goodbye to the hot and humid weather that has been hanging around for the past months. I don’t know about you, but I’m very happy that the days of sweating through my clothes are finally behind us (until next summer). Colder weather brings warmer clothes and the best way to accessorize a Fall outfit is with flawlessly manicured nails. If you survived summer in New Orleans you deserve a treat. Pamper yourself with a mani/pedi at one of the ten best nail salons in the city.
