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 Lace Market and Hockley hold the independent nail, brow and lash studios, many in converted Victorian warehouses within walking distance of the station, and are the best areas for nail art and lash extensions. The City Centre, around the Old Market Square and the Victoria Centre, has the larger salons, threading bars and aesthetic clinics, with laser and skin treatments booked by course. West Bridgford is residential and affluent, with polished salons offering facials, gel nails and waxing to a regular clientele.
