A day or two before I go away I always like to get a manicure and pedicure. I have got a pedicure booked in at The Cowshed at Shoreditch House on the day that I am leaving for New Zealand and I can't wait. They do amazing pedicures while you lounge back in big comfortable chairs. It's a great set-up for going along with a friend and you can read magazines or watch DVDs. I usually just lie back and relax with a glass of champagne. I'll post a couple of pics to Instagram when I'm there.
London is pretty hopeless when it comes to cheap nail bars like you find all over the US and to an extent in New Zealand. I have however tracked down a couple on Essex Road in Angel, Islington. I will probably just get a manicure there to save some extra money for spending on my holiday.
If I was on a desert island it would be nice to have a huge selection of nail polish colours. Last summer I tried everything from tangerine orange through to mint green polish on my toes and various shades of nude and dark, near black on my fingernails. For my upcoming nail appointments - I'm loving the looks from this range:
This is the latest 'resort 2014' collection from Essie. As usual, the polishes have great names:
Back to the desert island... If it came down to it and I just had to pick one nail polish in one colour, I think I would pick Essie Mademoiselle. With this polish your nails always look clean and pretty and it is easy to take care of.
As you can probably tell, Essie is my favourite brand of polish! I always like to try new brands though, so I'd love to hear about your favourite colours.
Along with my desert island nail polish, I think I would take some nail polish remover pads. I'm not a fan of chipped nails and these are really easy to use without the danger of spillage!

The other great thing about treating yourself at the Cowshed ( actually AD shouted me) is that the girls doing the manicure / pedicure are so lovely...
