I’m known in the Eliza office for being BIG into my nails. Having a cute mani is matter of pride, and in my mind, being caught with bare nails would be akin to being paraded through the streets of Westeros as onlookers repeatedly shout ‘SHAME’ at me (IYKYK).
While this may seem a little dramatic (hello, welcome to the theatrics of my life as a beauty editor), I really do hate the thought of having nothing on my nails and love showing off my latest design, no matter where I go.
My real nails have been decimated by years of gels and extensions, but still I soldier on, determined to carry on flying the flag for coolest nails in the biz.
I’ve experimented with incredible hand-drawn nail art like wild waves and colourful Pride flags, hopped aboard the glazed-doughnut trend and gone back to basics with my perfect nude (OPI Bubble Bath) and red (OPI Viva OPI).
And my biggest nail inspo comes – unsurprisingly – from Insta, where I could scroll for hours finding the latest looks, saving and screenshotting as I go. I use this (perhaps unhealthy) addiction for our nail content here at Eliza, rounding up the coolest celeb fingertips and creating season-by-season nail art guides, from winter through to spring.
I’ve clocked up many hours scrolling, meaning I’ve categorically found the *best* accounts to turn to when I need new ideas. From my fave nail salons to celebrity nail artists and content creators, this directory will help anybody looking to mix it up at the salon (or from home!).
