Manicures in Fond du Lac
A manicure at The Nail Edition starts with your natural nails. We check their health first, then shape, buff and polish with gel or regular polish. Founder and lead nail tech Kelly Wondra built the menu around one idea: healthy nails come first.
Choose a classic manicure in about 45 minutes or a spa manicure in about 90. Men are welcome, and kids’ manicures are on the menu too.
The menu
Our manicures
Spa Manicure
About 90 minutes, so your hands get more time and attention. A soak, cuticle care and shaping, an exfoliating scrub, a hand mask with heated mittens, and a short massage.
Builder Gel
A soft builder gel brushed over your own nails for strength. It adds no length, so it’s for natural nails that are already the length you like.

Children’s Manicure
Children’s manicures are on the menu, with the same gentle care every guest gets.
Every manicure at the end I wash their hands.

Builder gel or Gel-X?
Strength or length
Builder gel strengthens the nail you already have. It’s a soft gel and it adds no length. If you want extra length or a new shape, Gel-X is the better fit.

Questions guests ask Kelly, answered in her words.
What's included in a classic manicure?
A classic manicure at The Nail Edition takes about 45 minutes and starts with a health check of your natural nails. I remove old polish, push back cuticles and clip only dead cuticle, then shape, buff and prep. After base, color and top coat, I finish with cuticle oil, a hand wash and a warm towel.
Clean matters as much as color. We never cut live tissue, and the hand wash at the end is part of every manicure, not an extra.
Gel polish or regular polish?
At The Nail Edition, gel polish and regular polish cost the same, so you can choose what fits your week. About 97% of my guests choose gel. Regular polish works well if you like to change colors often. If you're not sure which to pick, ask me at your appointment and I'll help you decide.
Do you do manicures for men and kids?
Yes, The Nail Edition does manicures for men and kids. Men are always welcome, and every manicure on our menu is open to you. Children's manicures are on the menu too. Every manicure gets the same care: we never cut live tissue, and each one ends with a hand wash.
