You don’t just go to a nail salon—you choose one.
And for me, that choice is Frenchies.
Why I Choose “Clean”
What sets Frenchies apart is their commitment to clean. Not surface-level clean, but a place where health and beauty actually go hand in hand.
This was something I was actively looking for.
I went to Frenchies when we lived in Pittsburgh, so I knew what a truly clean nail salon experience felt like. When we moved, I couldn’t find anything comparable. And once you’ve experienced that difference, it’s hard to ignore.
I try to be intentional about how we live. What we eat, what we use in our home, and what we’re exposed to. So the question became simple:
Why would I prioritize clean living in every area, but overlook it here?
That also means paying attention to the everyday exposures we don’t always think about. What’s being used on our skin, what we’re breathing in, what we put and leave on our nails for weeks at a time, and what we’re sitting in for an hour at a time.
What Changed for Us
My girls love having their nails painted, but doing it at home never really worked. It took forever to dry, and it rarely lasted more than a day or two.
I looked into gel since it’s known for lasting longer, but Frenchies Polaris doesn’t recommend it for kids. Children’s nails are thinner, more flexible, and more hydrated, which means gel can lift or peel more easily and often requires a removal process that’s too harsh for young nails.

What Actually Works: Dazzle Dry
That’s where Frenchies really changed things for us.
Dazzle Dry dries in about five minutes, lasts, and doesn’t require UV light or harsh chemicals.
And it actually holds up. See the photos for yourself—this is 10 days after her manicure.

Why I Keep Choosing Frenchies
For me, this is about alignment. Choosing a place that reflects how I try to live everywhere else.
It also means I don’t have to hesitate when my girls ask to get their nails done. I can say yes and actually feel good about it.
