Color Camp

Color Camp Los Angeles | by The Luxi Look

I’m all about simplifying my beauty routine. I like to keep things relatively low maintenance and minimal. But one thing I cannot give up is a good manicure. I feel like having well groomed nails makes you look instantly more put together. As far as where to go for a manicure, I have my favorites in Los Angeles. When I really want to spice up my manicure, I go to Color Camp.

It seems like these days everyone is trying to do a million things at once – but there’s something to be said for sticking to one thing and doing it well. That’s where Color Camp comes into play. It’s not your typical mom and pop nail salon – it’s a place where you go to get your nails done if you’re serious about nail art and design.

Think of Color Camp as a “Drybar for nails”

Color Camp is currently in Los Angeles only. They only do one thing (manicures) and they do them extremely well. I’ve only gone for gel manicures, but their regular polish manicures are worth the wait and advance reservation as well. My gel nails easily lasted 3 weeks and still looked brand new (with the exception of my nail growth). Sorry ladies, they don’t do acrylics – natural nails only!

The first thing you notice when you walk in is the magnetic wall of nail polish colors. They have every color you can imagine, as well as suggestions for nail art. If you don’t like one of their seasonal designs, that’s ok too. Bring in a photo of a design and chances are one of their nail artists will be able to recreate it for you. Think foil, delicate designs, prints, dried flowers, etc.

Where Color Camp really shines is their nail art on gel manicures.

If you have to remove gel, they steam the gel off, which is much less harsh on your nails. Afterwards, the polish is meticulously applied. The type of gel polish and the way they apply it makes the gel incredibly durable and long lasting. On top of that, I swear it helps your nails grow (and they never break!). I always go for the Super Gel, which is $10 extra and worth the splurge. I swear it makes your nails grow like crazy and keeps them healthy, even if you’re a gel manicure addict like me.

They have a menu of nail art – including a constantly changing seasonal menu.

Nail art ranges from $1-5 per nail. I always get so many compliments on my nails when I come here.

Currently Color Camp only has one location in Los Angeles – but I hear they’re expanding! Make sure you book your appointments in advance – they book up and cancellations are rare. If you want a fun manicure that lasts, I highly recommend Color Camp. Perfect for those days when you just want to treat yourself! xx
