Nails

Manicured nails can be the perfect accessory. I never get tired of seeing new nail inspo from Hailey Bieber, and I love scrolling endlessly on Pinterest for new design ideas.

I usually go to do my nails at Townhouse in London. Since doing horseback riding for as long as I can remember and working in the stables, my nails was always super short. After I moved to London, and seeing everyone's perfectly manicured nails, I got inspired and tried a few nail salons. My favourite turned out to be Townhouse with it's various locations and perfect finish. They also have a Flawless Finish Guarantee for gel nails, so if you need a touch up you can easily sort this by contacting the lovely Customer Care Team, and fix any damages for free within a week after your appointment. Townhouse was also mentioned by Harper's Bazaar in their 2024 article: "The best manicures in London: salons, spas and nail bars to book now"

Finding the perfect nail colour is hard. Swatching a variation of polishes and getting the colour match right is a process in itself. I have noted down some of my favourites from Townhouse. I usually do gel or biab. The biab (builder gel) usually lasts longer and has helped my nails to grow. I have also noted that the polish underneath (if you mix colours) or even your natural nail colour can have a say in how the final colour comes out.

My go-to Gel polish:

Colour: Nottinghill Gate (chocolate nails)

Mix this with silver Chrome on top for some stunning Cinnamon Silver Nails!

My go-to Biab:

Colour: Bunny Biab (for light pink/nude nails).

Colour: Savile Row (dark, brown/burgundy nails).

In this picture I am wearing biab from Townhouse in the colour Savile Row, a dark, brown/burgundy perfect for fall. Always with my favourite coffee order in hand from Starbucks: White Mocha (no cream) with almond milk. The fall vibes and walks in the park in London never cease to amaze me.
