About nail art

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.

Where to find it in London

Mayfair, Knightsbridge and Chelsea hold the advanced skin clinics and the flagship brow and lash studios, where consultations come first, treatments are sold as courses and prices run well above the rest of the city. Soho and Shoreditch are the home of the nail art studios and the late-opening lash bars, busy after work and booked solid on Friday evenings. Kensington and Paddington mix long-established neighbourhood salons with threading bars and laser clinics, and Canary Wharf is a weekday market built around lunchtime appointments: express facials, gel manicures and brow shapes squeezed into an hour.
