The Sephora Nail Studio Art and Lacquer Services are currently available in a couple of New York City locations. "With nail art proving to be an increasingly popular trend and growth category, the creation of the Sephora Nail Studio Art and Lacquer Services featuring XpresSpa was a natural service extension for us," says Sephora's SVP of Marketing, Sharon Rothstein. Making any shopping experience at Sephora better than ever, customers can expect to find the latest releases from their favorite nail polish brands like [Dior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-beauty-retreat), Sephora by OPI and [NARS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-players-lounge-popup) at the Sephora nail art bars.
