Cute Nail Studio

During a chance meeting at Barton Springs, Maria Russo complimented Jason Darling’s manicure, he offered to do her nails, and the rest is history. By their second date, Russo and Darling were plotting what would eventually become Cute Nails, a truly magical rainbow nail art studio focused on creating an inclusive and safe environment for patrons. Says Darling, “One of the best features of Austin is its vibrant queer scene, and the idea of making a place where everyone could feel welcome just feels super fun.” Stepping inside the rainbow- wonderland it is impossible not to smile and marvel at the uniquely Austin space. A note from the owners: "While our city has been closed and struggling and stressed out, it’s been really amazing to see how it has also been creative and supportive and kind. We can’t wait to see you in person again. We love you. Love is the law."
