Whether it’s bedazzling your grade school jean jacket or beefing up a story just to get a laugh, girls love to embellish. Let’s just say we like to kick it up a notch.

Pink walls and chandeliers gussy up the new Embellish Nails and Boutique. A step above the usual neighborhood spot, yet more affordable than the spa, Embellish combines two of our favorite hangouts: salon and boutique. Not only can you get your mani/pedi with the girls and sip on something bubbly, but you can also shop for jewelry, cards, bags and more.

Before a big night out, settle in for some pampering and pre-game girl talk, and leave with a new clutch in your freshly painted hand.

Step it up before stepping out.
