After a bit of apprehension about having Shelac done for the first time, Charlie but my mind at rest. She helped choose the perfect colour which looks amazing and I can’t wait to go back again. Also, huge thanks to Laura who painted my four year old daughters nails. You made her day!!

I'm so pleased with my nails, They are just perfect, done to a very high standard by using the best quality products and a after care treatment too to take off the shellac. Will most definitely be back. Thank you x
