Nail art covers everything that goes beyond a single colour: French and micro-French tips, chrome and cat-eye finishes, ombré, hand-painted designs, foils, stamping and embellishments such as small crystals. It is usually added to a gel, BIAB or acrylic set and priced per nail or per design, from a simple accent nail to a full set of hand-painted artwork.
The skill varies a great deal between technicians, which is why nail art is the one nail service where a portfolio matters most. Many nail artists post their work on social media and take bookings for specific designs from photographs; seasonal sets for Christmas, Halloween and the summer are a large part of their year.
Simple designs add ten to twenty minutes to an appointment; detailed hand-painting can add an hour. Bring reference images and mention the design when you book so the salon can allow the time.

The City Centre, around Buchanan Street and the Style Mile, holds the larger salons and the aesthetic clinics, with HydraFacials and laser courses fitted around work.
