Hello Readers!!!

So the topic…Nail art!

Right about now nail art is on a next higher level….say goodbye to your basic air brush design, 1 colour coat and French manicure is the thing of the past

The Nail and beauty industry in the UK have indeed created a gap in the market with a fresh approach to nail art.

The top current players that comes to mind…Sophy Robson, The illustrated nails and WAH nails;

Sophy Robson -http://www.sophyrobson.com/

Sophy Robson is a nail artist in the UK and has done nails for magazines; Vogue, Vanity Fair, Glamour, Grazia and Elle.

The Illustrated Nails -For appointments and enquiries call 07816081213 or email theillustratednail@live.co.uk

The Illustrated nail was founded by the sisters Sophie and Katy Harris- Greenslade, who are based every Sunday at Old Spitafields Market.

WAH Nails- http://wah-nails.com/dalston

The WAH nail salon is located in East London, Dalston Founded by Sharmadean Reid

The Grazia Fashion and lifestyle magazine had quoted:

“Grazia has gone bananas about WAH – the cult East London
nail salon. And looking at the pictures here, you can see why. Not only does
WAH promise to ‘translate fashion trends into fingertip art’, but having a WAH
manicure is the most delightful experience”

Even Barry M jumped on the bandwagon with the Crackled effect nail polish …to be
fair wasn’t really impressed by it! :S

It’s no longer just the higher end nail salons like Nails INC or the lower end local Vietnamese salons….that use those DREADFUL nail
shaving machines that leave your own nails all jacked up!!!

From the looks of it ….what seems to be so great about nail art designs…. is it’s just real playful, fun and doesn’t have this tacky effect about it, just pure art on a nail.

So right about now my nails are soo far gone and I’m in a desperate need of a re-fill!!

So my verdicts on nail art….GO FOR IT!!…especially for those girlie’s out there who love to experiment with colours and pattern designs.

Here are couple favourites of mine!
