Nail art is a personalised finish for your manicure that adds colour, detail and design to suit your style. Whether you want something subtle for everyday wear or a bold set for an event, your nails are finished with clean lines, balanced placement and a look that complements your hands.

More information

What nail art can include

Nail art is customised to your preferences, nail shape and how you use your hands day to day. Your appointment can be tailored to deliver:

  • A design consultation to match colours, themes and finish
  • Feature nails or a full set design
  • Clean, minimal looks (fine lines, negative space, micro-French)
  • Statement designs (colour blocking, patterns, seasonal sets)
  • Hand-drawn details, foils, decals and chrome-style effects
  • A refined top coat finish for shine and durability

Who nail art is best for

Nail art works well if you want a polished look that feels intentional, not generic. It is particularly popular for:

  • Weddings, holidays, parties and photoshoots
  • Work-appropriate designs that still feel personal
  • Matching nails to outfits, occasions or colour palettes
  • Clients who like regular refreshes with new designs

How the service is delivered

Your nails are prepped first so the design sits smoothly and wears well. You will agree the colour and design direction, then the artwork is applied with attention to symmetry, spacing and a tidy finish around the cuticle area.

If you are unsure what to choose, you can bring inspiration photos and the design can be adapted to suit your nail length and shape.

Aftercare and keeping your design looking fresh

Avoid using your nails as tools and wear gloves for cleaning to reduce chips and lifting. Apply cuticle oil regularly to keep the nail area flexible and the finish looking smoother for longer. If you want to change the design, book infills or a refresh before significant wear shows through.

    It is always a pleasure to see Kayleigh. I can't fault any of the beauty treatments that she does from nails to waxing and eyebrow and eyelash tinting to name but a few. I would highly recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose a nail art design?
Bring a few inspiration photos and a couple of colours you like. Your nail shape, length and lifestyle will help narrow it down to a design that looks good and wears well.
Can nail art be subtle for work or everyday wear?
Yes. Minimal designs like micro-French tips, fine lines or a single accent nail can look polished without feeling loud.
Will nail art damage my natural nails?
Nail art itself should not damage nails when it is applied and removed correctly. Most issues come from picking at product or incorrect removal at home.
How long will nail art last?
Wear time depends on the products used, your nail growth and daily activities. Following aftercare advice and booking maintenance at the right time helps keep the finish looking neat.
Can you copy a design exactly from a photo?
A photo is a great reference, but the final result may vary slightly due to nail length, shape and available colours. The design can be recreated in the same style with the closest match for a similar look.
