25 Nail Art Designs To Make You Happy

If you have followed me on Instagram for some time you will know that I am no stranger to a fancy manicure, please see #BettyNailedIt for the full run down. I love getting my nails done and it has been a long time since I just went au naturel. It’s my favourite way to treat myself, and choosing nail art is too much fun, I have a dedicated Pinterest nail inspo board, because that’s what all 33 year old women do of an evening, right?! For me it is about negative space, florals or even a simple spot. I’d love to say I painted all these myself, but I get mine done by the professionals, and it lasts around 3 weeks. Everyone below uses The Gel Bottle which I find is much kinder on my nails than other gels I have had in the past.

If like me you are in the market for fancy finger nails why not check out these top 5 places where I like to get my nails done;

STILL LONDON This Dalston spa offers Icelandic inspired pedicures and manicures, plus their nail art is quite exceptional (see the intricate floral design below). Alongside nails, they also offer tarot card readings too, a one stop self care stop.

SHOREDITCH NAILS It probably needs little to know introduction, this awesome nail shop has just opened their second shop front, meaning it’s much easier to get an appointment. Would recommend if you’re in London!

LAURA WADE Local to Lincoln, I’ve been visiting her for well over six years, Lauras gel never ever ever EVER lifts. I am unsure if she is accepting new clients, best to pop over to her Facebook page for more info.

DORTA WORKS OF ART! What Bethan can’t create on a nail isn’t worth painting, books up quick so get in there asap to avoid disappointment!

COWSHED Not the best place for nail art, but if you are looking for the ultimate in pampering, they give an excellent mani or pedi in THOSE CHAIRS. I recommend the one inside The Ned, forgot the world for an hour and relax…!
