# Mythical Crystal Manicures Nail Swag's 'Tarot Nails' Service Involves a Tarot Card Reading By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2016-12-08 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nail-swag References: [refinery29](http://www.refinery29.com/2016/08/119090/tarot-reading-crystals-nail-trend) & [nailswag](http://www.nailswag.com/) For those who love the occult, but also enjoy a bit of pampering, the Los Angeles-based salon 'Nail Swag' has the perfect option. Dubbed 'Tarot Nails' this service combines a traditional tarot card reading with beautiful nail art for a one-of-a-kind manicure. The brainchild of tarot reader Melinda Lee Holm and Nail Swag owner Natalie Minerva, Tarot Nails is a unique manicure option that begins with a tarot card reading. After the reading, Holm assigns crystals and symbols to counteract or enhance each card. The symbols are then painted onto each nail by Minerva, fixed with a crystal and finally sealed with a thick coat of gel nail polish. While the service may sound a bit extravagant, it is the perfect option for anyone attending Trend Hunter’s [Los Angeles innovation conference](http://www.futurefestival.com/losangeles) who is looking to get in touch with their spiritual side without sacrificing a love of luxury. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Occult Luxury Experiences:** Expand the luxury market by incorporating occult elements into pampering services, such as tarot card readings and crystal-infused manicures. - **Personalized Symbolic Nail Art:** Offer personalized nail art services that incorporate symbols and crystals based on individual preferences and tarot readings, creating unique and meaningful manicures. - **Spiritual Wellness Integration:** Integrate spiritual practices, such as tarot card readings, into wellness and beauty services to cater to the growing demand for holistic experiences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Luxury Beauty Salons:** Luxury beauty salons can offer unique experiences by incorporating tarot card readings and crystal-infused nail art, attracting customers seeking a blend of luxury and spirituality. - **Personalized Nail Art Studios:** Nail art studios can provide personalized manicure services that incorporate symbols and crystals based on individual tarot readings, offering customers meaningful and customized nail designs. - **Wellness Retreats and Spas:** Wellness retreats and spas can enhance their offerings by integrating spiritual practices, such as tarot card readings, into their services, providing guests with holistic experiences for mind, body, and soul. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gem-Infused Nail Polishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fabled-gemgel.md) - [Wine-Enhanced Nail Salon Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/element-nail-bar.md) - [Mystical Digital Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tarotandreading.md) - [Personalized Digital Spells](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mysticmorwen.md) - [Tactile Gel Manicures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/braille-nails.md) - [Digital Tarot Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spellboundbytee.md) - [Color-In Press-On Nails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tipzy.md) - [Crime-Inspired Press-On Nails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aprs-x-liquid-death.md) - [Digital Tarot Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taroternity.md)
