We will soon be introducing the very popular treatment of Nail Art to The Belmore Centre carried out by the very talented Emma Williams. This is a trend that has been taking over the industry year after year and so we ask our selves, where did it all start?

Nail decoration can be traced back to 3000 B.C with the first ever nail polish coming from China. However it was not in the form it is today; ingredients like tree bark juices, bees wax and gelatin were used to create these nail paints and soon the popularity of nail decoration began.

As time moved on so did technology and nail paints have evolved into the varnishes and laquers we know today, bringing with them an array of colours, textures and techniques that give the modern day woman the chance to create masterpieces at the tips of their fingers! Not only can you choose from a huge variety of colours you can even now get nail jewellery! From tiny little gem stones, to stickers and swarovski crystals, the options are endless. It begs the question, what will be in store for nails another 100 years down the line? …. Polish that changes colour to suit the mood? Varnish that will bring you a new design each day it is worn? Or will we simply still be exploring the different trends we can set using bright colours, stencils and accessories! Who knows, for now we shall salute the glitter and glam that nail art can bring and will welcome it with open arms to The Belmore Centre later this year.
