For many, a trip to the nail salon is the ultimate escape.
Whether you are getting your nails prepped for those all important cocktail-holding Instagram shots, or it is your regular weekly visit for a refresh, having a new set of nails can make the ultimate difference to how you look and feel.
Some prefer the classic white tips, while for others, the crazier the better.

Natasha competed against technicians from 30 countries, but claimed the gold medal in the mixed media, division one, category for her Voodoo doll inspired set.
She said: “It felt surreal. I entered mixed media, which is art of a certain height across ten tips. I didn’t believe I would get in the top three, never mind first.
