An expert and passionate team
Founded in Nantes by Ana-Maria and Madalina, two nail artists with 8 years of experience each, M&A Nail Design was born from an obsession: making each nail a unique, durable, and cared-for piece. The salon applies an impeccable hygiene protocol at every appointment. This is a crucial point when you know that 40% of nail infections in salons are linked to insufficient sterilization.
Carefully selected professional products
At M&A Nail Design, only professional-quality products are used. This guarantees optimal wear of your semi-permanent polish: up to 3 weeks without chipping, compared to 7 to 10 days for a classic polish. The rubber base, for example, strengthens the natural nail while providing a flexible base that prevents breakage.
A service that goes beyond simple application
The salon does not just apply polish. Each session begins with listening: time to understand your desires, time to do it well. Whether you come for a full gel/chablon application (€50 for size S/M, €60 for L/XL) or a simple manicure (€20), the team takes the necessary time.
If you don't find what you're looking for in La Chapelle-sur-Erdre, M&A Nail Design in Rezé (Nantes) also welcomes you. The salon is easily accessible from La Chapelle-sur-Erdre in 20 minutes by car.
What is semi-permanent nail art?
Semi-permanent nail art combines the hold of semi-permanent polish (45-minute application, glossy finish) with hand-painted artistic designs. Unlike stickers or 3D prints, each design is unique and created by an experienced nail artist. This technique allows for complex patterns — flowers, marbling, two-tone French, babyboomer, confetti, chrome — that last 2 to 3 weeks without damage.
