Our weekly series Get Right for Summer has one aim: to make sure you're completely beautified before the thermostat hits 90. Whether you're in the market for a new manicurist or you want to try your luck at getting faux bronzed, we'll tell you where to go.

It's time to talk nails: shellac, half moons, cuticle treatments, and the scramble for that one-of-a-kind polish colors. Mani-pedis are a key step in shedding winter layers, because you definitely don't want to reintroduce untended toenails or cold weather-ravaged cuticles without a good clean and polish. Hence, we've poked and prodded our pals to share their favorite nail salons.
