I have been getting my manicures and pedicures with them for almost 10 years now! I've had countless of manicures done by Donna(the owner), Nikki and Mia(my current go-to nail tech). They specialize in SNS(dipping powder) manicures. Of all the nail salons I've been to in the Orange County area, they have by far the largest selection when it comes to dip colors(100-200+). If you are looking for a place that is affordable and can get you a long lasting manicure, I strongly recommend them. I've had times when I crack one of my nails within a week of getting them done and I've gone back to them for a redo on the nail free of charge and I cannot express how much I appreciate them for it. Make sure to call and make an appointment because they can get busy and might make you wait as a walk in. As of 2/28/25 getting a SNS manicure here costs $45 and a regular pedicure costs $25. read more

Sparkling Nails & Spa - SNS dip manicure - Gelixir 7 - Nail Salons Near Me - Orange, California

I've visited this place a couple of times and usually had a good experience, the service has generally been great. However, this recent visit was disappointing. Some of my nails were curved and not painted properly, and unfortunately, two have already broken--and it's barely going to be two weeks this Wednesday I did mention to the nail tech that my nails were curved, but they weren't able to fix it, and by then I was already over the time spent. That said, I do want to thank the technician who worked on my daughter's nails for her promotion she did a great job, I hope this review is taken as constructive feedback, but consistency is key, and I hope improvements are made to avoid losing loyal customers read more

Typically on my day off I'm trail running, hiking or climbing... but with wet trails from unexpected rain, I thought I'd focus on self care with a little pampering... I've been to many, many nail salons throughout Orange County and even out of state... I have to honestly say that Sparkling Nails is hands down the BEST salon I've ever been to. It's the people and the consistent quality service. It doesn't hurt that it sits right next to DK Donuts so if you have a hankering for iced coconut coffee, you're all set. I'd recommend calling to make an appt (typically they can accommodate same day). Highly recommend the spa pedicure with the 10 min leg/foot massage (my favorite part). Recommend the dip for manicure. Lasts longer and looks great. It's tough enough even if I'm crack climbing at the gym. read more

Best nail salon in Orange! Great prices and Donna did my dip set for my nails. She helped me choose the most natural color since I'm in school and stopped getting acrylic nails. She recommended the dip powder which help strengthen my nails and to top it off she ended my manicure with a full arm massage! The best! Truly recommend and I'll be back for my next manicure set! read more

My go-to nail place ! I've been here so many times and I have yet to be disappointed. I've also been helped by different nail techs here and they've all done my nails fantastically. If you come here, just do yourself a favor and get an SNS manicure! It's what they're known for AND it's such a reasonable price at $30. My nails always come out looking beautifully. The service here is amazing. You're greeted right when you walk in and they even ask you if you want any water! I always have great conversations with all the employees whenever I get my nails done. They are also very nice when it comes to addressing any concerns you have or any changes you want made. Also, they get so crowded with customers sometimes, but they always make sure to execute their jobs correctly and also serve everyone in a timely manner. I definitely recommend making an appointment, as they tend to be very busy. An appointment is a definite MUST for weekends (especially Friday and Saturday). read more

Came here with my girls as a cute manicure girls date. Had no exception when I came but walked out with extremely satisfied experience. I got SNS nail which I think is dip powder one. The staff is super nice and patient. They won't show any impatient even if the style you want might take a while. At first I just want a simple design. But I improvised to add some sticker. Without any reference picture on hand. The lady put up a simple (what I want) and cute design for me. I super love it!! The ladies there are detail oriented. They will make sure they clean your nails and make sure your design is perfect. And the best part is, they are in a really reasonable price! Will definitely come back ! read more

My husband and I are visiting family and we both desperately needed a pedicure and a manicure. My husband did the research and he chose Sparkling Nails Spa. We were both extremely happy with the excellent service that Donna and her team provide. We wish we could take them back to Boston with us!! Friendly, attentive and very helpful. We are so glad to have found them. Anne R read more

I usually don't get my nails done but this place did not disappoint! I was initially going to do gel but saw all the great reviews of the sns dip powder here so decided to do a french tip sns and it came out so beautifully!! Donna is very sweet, kind, and detail-oriented. She made sure there were no rough or missed spots and I even got a nice hand massage w lotion after! After the pandemic many nail salons have suffered a decline in business and it truly saddens me to see the talent and dedication of these wonderful ladies go to waste. I highly recommend this place and support local businesses read more

I've been coming to sparkling nails for over a year and it does not disappoint! I live in the inland empire and go to school in New Jersey, but I always take the hour drive to see Donna and/or Heidi whenever I am home. They're professionalism and attention to detail is astounding! I always come in with my Pinterest nail idea and they make sure the idea comes to life! I always get the dip powder and absolutely love the work they do to transform my nails. They really take their time to make sure I love my nails in the end. Can't go wrong with Donna or Heidi! read more

This now location is a must stop. Extremely friendly staff amazingly clean facility. If you like SNS dipping nails they must have over 100 colors. You will never use all the combinations! They are the only location that I have been to that after you do the dipping powder manicure they actually give you a warm hand lotion massage Cost was $30 $5 for remove a. Worth every penny! They most definitely have won my business. read more

QUARANTINE NAIL CHECK! I'm a regular at Sparkling Nails and I cannot wait until they are open once again! My last visit was March 11th and my nails are still going strong!!!! Sandy does an amazing job. She takes her time and makes sure you are content with the shape/length. With the current situation the world is in I also think it is important to highlight the cleanliness of their salon, and they always use sterilized tools on each client. They are a busy small salon so MAKE AN APPOINTMENT & you'll be good to go. I hope to see all of these ladies soon! read more

Absolutely love this place! The attention to detail is amazing and I have never felt rushed or bad vibes like some other place I've been to. This place is a gem I'm glad my friend recommended this place, I haven't found any place like this one! No other place does SNS like this place, I also love how they massage your hands and cut the cuticle without having to ask for it and at no extra cost. I will be telling my friends and family about this place!! read more

I've been coming here since Aug. of 2016 and their service is by far the best service I've ever experienced. Everyone is so professional and caring! I don't see myself going anywhere else! Their work is like no other, I've been doing SNS on my nails and it has truly kept them sooo healthy and strong. They last for 3 weeks or more depending on what powder I get. Donna knows what she's doing and runs an outstanding business! Best HOSPITALITY and most detailed work you'll ever find in town! Sparkling Nails is my Home! Thank you all! July 2018 They've done it again! They have done such a fine job meeting all expectations!! They are so thorough and detailed! They're very creative and are always willing to try new designs! Thank you so much Ruth (SNS) and Mia (Pedi)!! You are amazing! read more

This is my new go-to nail salon. I recently moved to the area and stumbled upon this place. I was a die hard acrylic wearer, but have since encountered the phase of my life where I preferred to grow out my natural nails. Years of acrylics made my nails very thin and brittle. Donna suggested that I try SNS dipped powder. I have had dipped powder in the past, but was not a fan and she somehow convinced me to give it a shot again. I am so glad I did. Their SNS selection is huge! I have never been to a nail salon with such a variety of colors. The customer service was great and their staff is very friendly. I highly recommend Sparkling Nails & Spa! One thing I did notice is Donna did get several calls for appointments while she was doing my nails. Sparkling Nails is definitely in high demand so be sure to call ahead of time and book an appointment. The parking lot is also very small so its best to park further and walk or get dropped off. Their prices and services are unbeatable so the parking is a very small issue in comparison to the overall nail salon experience. read more

I came here with my mom and sister we all loved our nails. I loved my nails, showed them a photo of how I wanted them and did an exact replica.

Thank you Donna and the Sparkling Nails ladies for this gorgeous wedding gift! These mugs are *exactly* my style - testament to the close attention the Sparkling Nails team pays to their clients For almost two years, every other week I've visited Donna for SNS and a pedicure. More than just a top-notch nail tech, she has become my friend. She takes care in getting to know her clients personally. Last Thursday I visited her to get my nails done in anticipation of my wedding that Saturday. As always, she took incredible care of me and my mother. She brought us complimentary lunch in our pedicure chairs and played only wedding movies and love songs in the salon. At the end of the appointment she surprised me with this beautiful gift! Not only did my nails look *perfect* but I left her salon with another wonderful memory of my wedding week Before Sparkling Nails I was always disappointed with nail salons; they smelled bad, the techs seemed robotic and disinterested, and the prices were high for what felt like a sub-par experience. Not only does Sparkling Nails do an incredible job (that lasts) at a very fair price, but the staff, atmosphere, and experience are next-to-none great! If you're looking for a good, clean neighborhood salon, this is it - but make an appointment, they stay busy- and most of all, treat these ladies well! Tip them well, learn their names, say please and thank you. Being a regular for these two years I've seen a lot of of clientele walk through their doors - so many miss out on the great experience it is not just to get your nails done, but to enjoy a morning or afternoon in the company of these awesome women. Walk in there ready to relax, enjoy a chick flick and have fun! To Donna and the Sparkling Nails team - from the bottom of my heart, thank you again!!! See you in a week or two! -Chelsea read more

I've never written a yelp review, but I had to with Sparkling Nails. I decided to try SNS dipping powder for the first time because I got tired of my gel nails chipping after a week. I saw great yelp reviews about Sparkling nails so I decided to give them a try. The only con is that parking is terrible so I would arrive about 15 minutes earlier. I had an appointment with Donna and she was amazing. She took her time and did a great job. My nails came out perfect. They have a great variety of color choices and are great at what they do! I paid $35 for the SNS and it was worth every penny. They also take Venmo which is super convenient. I definitely recommend trying out Sparking Nails and making an appointment with Donna! read more

I had heard many good things about this nail salon. I don't usually try new nail salons but I decided to give this one a shot because I had heard so many good things about it. I had set an appointment because it's better to set an appointment then to just do a walk in because they are very busy. As I got there they greeted me and sat me down a lady begin to take off my acrylics and then I sat there until the lady that was actually going to help me out started doing doing my nails her name was Chloe. I was going to get a new set on acrylics with gel polish but I decided to try sns since they are known for that. At my normal nail place I would've paid $60-65 for a new set of coffin shaped acrylics with dipping powder but here I paid $43 for the same exact thing and they look so good!! I definitely will be coming back here again!! Try to get Chloe she is awesome!! read more

This is my third time at Sparkling Nails and I leave completely satisfied. Yes, they are always busy but it's because they do an outstanding job. The nail dip ( SNS) is a specialty for them.

Their pedicures are relaxing and they dedicate time to you. read more

This is my go to nail place in the oc. I love how when I get gel it lasts so great...usually about 3 weeks! I tried the SNS dipping powder too which was even longer lasting than gel. Only downside is that the place is really small and gets busy quickly so there's often a wait. But I did come once on a rainy day and my mom and I were the only ones in there and they did a really great job and took their time with our nails and they turned our fabulous! read more

1. Parking is horrible here 2. Place is small . Make appt 3. Why charge me to take off my previous nail color or system ( gel nails or sns ) That is the real reason why I will not be back. That's just me . I can understand if I was coming to take off only .. ok charge me $5 . But if I'm getting service done , mani , pedi or full set .. why charge me to take off ? I don't run across too many salons that do that. You want me to pay for all my services , take off and tip you ??? Naw naw boo , pick one ? Take off or tip ? Y'all may think I'm cheap , but I'm not it's the principle of the fact . Ok so now on to how they got 3 stars bc it wasn't all bad . 1. Friendly 2 nice 3. My nails turned out ok Ruth did a good job , the conversation was good and funny . Oh and they decided not to charge me for the $5 take off . lol I was happy about that and that was nice of them , so I tip Ruth the $5. But still I won't be back bc next time they're gonna charge me take off . I'll just go somewhere else with better parking and nicer establishment . Thanks anyway ladies read more
