Destino Says...

Tucked just off Oxford Street in The Beauty Club, you’ll find Paint Nails. Located within this bustling open-plan space that also includes a hair salon, Edy London Lashes and a bar for cocktails (or tea and coffee if that’s your preferred tipple), the Paint Nails area has an orange tiled nail bar with space for three people and two sumptuous pedicure chairs. Neon lights, including one that we were tempted to steal that says Nails & Cocktails give it an instantly fun yet chic vibe.

They offer a range of treatments including all of the usual ones you’d expect – regular polish (mani £25/pedi £30), gel (mani £45/pedi £50) and BIAB Manicures (£60) –  plus more decadent extras like their Luxury Manicure (£55) and Pedicures (£65) and finally The British Manicure (£150), a 90 minute special slot with their brilliant nail artist Angel whose designs are incredible. They also are great for men’s mani/pedi treatments too. They are child friendly and can do mini treatments for kids too as well as being pet friendly, and you can often see their resident dog Louie.

We visited on a grey, London Thursday morning and found the welcoming staff and fun music a brilliant energy boost. With a full bar menu this is the perfect place to head to with friends before a night out or just for a pampering treat.
