Destination, nails.

These days it’s just as important to have fabulous nails as it is to match an outfit with the perfect accessories. Any nail or fashion fanatic would be able to tell you that.

As the nail trend becomes more popular, so does the demand for nail salons. Here are my two favourite nail bars in London:

Wah Nails –

You’re either familiar with the name, the famous designs or even their “How to” books that are stocked in various retail fashion stores like Urban Outfitters. There is no escaping Wah Nails.

Founded 2005 in London by Sharmadean Reid, Wah Nails was initially created to channel the female hip-hop, street fashion craze that was quickly taking off. Wah Nails express in their blog they wanted to create an “international community of girls who loved their Nike sneakers as much as their Prada wedges”.

On August 1^st 2009, Wah Nails opened their first doors in the East End of London creating a buzz around the nail art world. Before they knew it appointments were fully booked and customers from all around the world were desperate for a bit of nail-art-action. Finally being recognised for their talents, the remainder of 2009 was spent attending London Fashion Week, parties for the likes of Nike and Marc Jacobs and setting up an extremely successful pop up salon in Selfridges.

Wanting to increase customers from all areas of London, Wah Nails set up a concessional store in the basement of Topshop Oxford Circus. Following the success of another Wah Nails salon bar, they recently set up shop in the famous shipping container mall “Boxpark” in the vibrant and unique area of Shoreditch, London.

MW Nails –

The unique nail salon in East London has every nail fanatic digging out their passports ready for the ride of their lives. Wanting to create a real escapism vibe, the entire interior of the store is set out like an aircraft! Using an ex-American Airlines 737 Boeing aircraft as well as First Class seats from Air France, no expense is spared when creating the best possible vibe.

Not only catering for your nails, MW Nails also offer various foot and hand massages that are bound to leave you blissfully unaware that you’re not on an exotic, private island.

Despite the luxurious experience the prices aren't

going to damage your holiday fund. At a mere £15 why not try a Shanghai Shape or a Monte Carlo Minx for £34?
