Downtown-dwelling mani mavens have scored a cool nail salon for complementing those kaleidoscopic vintage finds. Open as of last month, superstar manicure artist Nail Swag has relocated her colorful Silver Lake studio to DTLA's Historic Core.

On top of serving as the home base of celeb-faved pro Natalie Minerva, the space—which boasts a glitter floor!—also hosts guest nail artists (recent residencies include Britney Tokyo and Ashley Crow). Depending on the type of embellishments (including Nail Swag's signature eco-friendly heated beads), Presto Gel manicures range from $50 to $100 and up and pedicures are $40 to $100 and up, while a spot with Minerva starts at $125.

The complete pampering experience includes "toasted rice green tea and Japanese snacks while they get their swag on" and scented sugar cube scrubs to hydrate your digits when you get home.

Dig it? Book online here or call the salon at (213) 458-5989 to request Minerva herself.

Nail Swag is open from 10am to 8pm daily.
