If you’re looking for creative appliqué nails in Auckland, you’ll find that not all designs need to be bold to be beautiful.At Satomi Nails, inside the Metropolis Hotel on High Street, Auckland CBD, creativity shows up in quiet details — the kind that make each hand unique.

A Subtle Approach to Nail Art
“I like nail art that’s simple and elegant, not too much,” Satomi says. “Something that suits the person’s style.”
Rather than following trends, she focuses on design that complements the client — whether that means fine gold lines, a soft accent shimmer, or a minimalist stone detail that catches the light.
Each appliqué piece is placed by hand, chosen to enhance rather than overwhelm.Satomi’s clients often describe her work as understated artistry — refined, expressive, but always wearable.
Appliqué as Expression, Not Decoration
“Sometimes one little line, or just one small detail, can change everything,” she explains.
That philosophy guides her nail art — every small touch carries intention.Appliqué work, such as gems, foil, or layered textures, is done with precision and restraint, allowing each piece to feel balanced and elegant.
It’s creativity expressed quietly, with confidence in less-is-more.
Quality Over Quantity
Unlike high-volume salons that rush through decorative nails, Satomi’s process is slow and meticulous.She uses premium Japanese gels for their clarity and flexibility, allowing fine art and appliqué to hold beautifully without bulk.
Each appointment is one-on-one, giving her time to refine every detail — from structure to shine — so the final result feels like a custom design rather than a copy.
Where Creativity Meets Calm
Satomi’s salon has become a favourite among Auckland CBD professionals and visitors who want something artistic but not flashy — nails that feel personal, elegant, and long-lasting.
Her clients appreciate that she treats every hand as a canvas, but never at the expense of natural beauty.
“I don’t really follow the trends,” she says. “I just do what looks natural for that person.”
