Manchester... Meet your new nail art wizard
Reviews
First time here but won't be my last. Best gel nail polish I've had... extremely precise with lots of nail prep that seems to have resulted in an immaculate finish. Also bought some of Nikki's press ons (never tried before) but her artistry drew me and 2 incredible designs purchased!)

Me and my daughter visited Nikki to get our nails done for a special birthday treat and the whole experience was fabulous from start to finish. Nikki made my daughter feel comfortable straight away with her kind and calming nature and she did a wonderful Mani for Minis for her, which included some amazing press on nails that she custom made. Nikki's attention to detail and professionalism showed in her work and we were both so happy with our nails. Plus she has the BEST purple studio located in her garden which makes your visit there feel really personal and relaxing. Thank you Nikki!

First time I tried gel X nails and I love them so much, can't recommend Nikki enough, these nails feel so much more natural than the acrylic nails I had before. Long lasting too! It's been over 2 weeks and they're good as new, thank you Nikki!!!

I Just had the most amazing nail experience with Nikki! I was blown away by her unique technique and attention to detail - she's a true artist! Not only is she super knowledgeable about nail health, but she's also a qualified engineer who followed her passion for nails and put her previous knowledge on her nail techniques. I had the Cat Eye Nails style done and it's GIVING. LIFE. The way the color changes in different lights is pure magic - purple, blue, green... it's like having a different nail look every time! If you're feeling extra fancy, ask her about incorporating some 3D elements or glitter accents to make your nails truly sparkle. For Christmas, you could also consider getting a few sets of press-on nails with different designs, so you can switch up your look for different holiday events. Get your nails done for Christmas , I am sure Niiki can create some different art styles 🎄"

Hello Lovely!
Oh hey, I’m Nikki — your alternative nail art wizard based in Hazel Grove in Stockport, & also in Manchester city centre.
You'll find me working from my cosy home studio Wed-Sat, and also at The Corner in Shudehill on Sundays.
Wherever you visit, expect relaxed vibes, a safe space, good chats, and nails you’ll be obsessed with.
I create hand-painted designs that are totally unique to you, on top of flawless structured gel overlays or Gel X extensions that last ruddy ages thanks to meticulous prep. There's no rushing you out of the door here!
Please feel free to get in touch if you've got any questions, and I can't wait to meet you 🥰
