Nailin’ It

Friday, 8 Jun 2012

Multi-taskers: now you get to shop, get your nails done, and even grab your requisite coffee in just one hour.

A couple of cool cats have just glossed up the nail scene and we couldn’t be more excited!

With its vintage-inspired interiors (we’re huge fans of their comfy lounge chairs, bronze taps, and porcelain basins), this nail parlour could have been just another reguar parlour next door… but Manicurious boldly took the road less taken.

Pioneering the future of nail parlours, they’ve added a café next to the nail space (ingenious right? whoddathunkit!) and a cozy retail gallery right at the entrance.

Most importantly, we’re glad to say that the manicurists here deliver quality service for reasonable prices: we spent a luxurious hour getting both our hands and feet thoroughly massaged, moisturized, and nails prepped for a very colourful summer.

Although we didn’t try their fab nail art, the ladies here are extremely skilled – they’ve even done a cool collab with Actually! They’ve also got albums worth of proof, so book them in if you want a little something extra for a special occasion.

Don’t forget to have a cuppa while you’re being pampered – Manicurious gets its beans from javaheads’ cult favourite, papa palheta. Looking to skip the coffee buzz? They also stock special tea blends.

Once you’ve got those nails prettied, have a snoop around the store – we spied cute accessories, fun jewellery, purses, watches, and very cool sunnies while we were there.
