Amberlight Valley Favorites: Posh & Polished
The first time I watched Legally Blonde, I knew two things:
I wanted a bend-and-snap moment someday.
I needed a go-to nail girl in my life.
Years ago, I met Jamie when she was working in another salon. Even back then, her work stood out, and I adored every appointment I had with her. Fast forward to today, and Jamie is the proud owner of Posh & Polished, a women-owned salon right here in Lakeside. Not only do I still love my appointments with her, but I also love seeing her dream come to life.
Walking into Posh & Polished is exactly what you’d hope for: welcoming, client-focused, and designed to make you feel gorgeous. From the moment you sit down, Jamie and her team are all about helping you leave feeling empowered—because, as Jamie says, “your life isn’t perfect, but your nails are.”

Services & Specialties
Jamie offers everything from manicures and pedicures to gel, acrylic, and custom nail art (she doesn’t currently do dip, press-ons, or permanent jewelry). Her specialty? Nail art. Whether you’re looking for seasonal themes, custom designs, or something uniquely you, Jamie’s creativity shines in every set she does.
Her favorite service? Acrylic nails. And if you’ve ever seen her work, you’ll understand why.
Products You Can Trust
Jamie uses Notpolish, a high-quality, cruelty-free brand chosen for its durability and performance. It’s important to her to give clients the best while staying mindful of quality and care.
Extra Touches
Massages included with pedicures
Drinks, snacks, and cozy extras during your appointment
Locally made shirts available for purchase
Community Roots
What makes Posh & Polished truly special isn’t just the nails… it’s the heart behind the salon. Jamie is passionate about supporting other small businesses and local charities. She’s even been known to go above and beyond for her clients—like the time she visited a client in the hospital to do her nails after the woman broke her hip. That’s the kind of care and connection you’ll find here.
It is so cozy and welcoming inside the salon!
Why I Love It
Jamie built her salon on determination (after being told she couldn’t), and now Posh & Polished is a space where every client can feel like a total badass. Whether you’re getting holiday-themed nails, treating yourself before an event, or just craving that fresh-polish confidence boost, you’ll walk out of Posh & Polished feeling empowered and ready to take on the world.
