We know it’s a cliché, but this time it’s the truth. We went to the land of the free, the mighty U.S of A on a cross-country road trip. We spent approx. 30 per cent of our 90-day visas having our nails done (yes we know, get a grip) and you just can’t argue it, those Yanks know how to give good nail.

What started out as an idea for a nail bar for Dublin whilst we were whizzing through nail salons from LA to Laguna Beach; San Diego to Dallas; Austin to NY (research is hard work obvs!), has become our very own taste of the tropics in our beloved Dublin.

We opened with the idea of giving good nail at really good prices so getting your nails did would no longer be seen as a treat, it would become what it most definitely is…a necessary way of life.

But we wanted more than nails; we wanted to have the craic agus ruaille buaille too. So, we went out of our way to find some outrageously talented nail artists (and they are artists!) and threw as many pineapples, flamingos, parrots, palm trees, neon signs and anything gold that we could find into the mix.

If you’re looking for whale music and rose petals, we’re not for you. But if you want some cracking tunes, a tropical drink in a coconut, some gorgio giorgio nails and a little lol, get your ass in gear!
