Best Nail Art and Nail Designs near me in Prettygate, Colchester

Alina is the best nail technician by far in Colchester. I recommend her by all means and I don't go to anyone else. The shaping of the nails is perfect every time, her gel technique is amazing and her guidance is super professional. The service is also great in the salon- coffee and tea are offered, no chemical smell (like in other nail salons) and kind staff.

A jewel in the heart of Prettygate, staff are professional, friendly and kind. My nails look better than they have done for ages- what a morale boost! And there's aircon... highly recommended.

Always a 5* with Millie. She is the best and always brings my nail art visions to life!

Gigi’s attention to detail is something I’ve never witnessed from a nail salon before. I was surprised by how much she prepped my nails before painting and designing them, but as she rightfully pointed out it is what should be done to ensure the longevity of the nail! I’ve been to “top rated” salons prior to Touch of Elegance and never received this level of service from any of them. Will happily come back as a customer. Thank you!!

Katie did a great job tidying up my cuticles and did a lovely gel colour with nail art for Valentines.

Normally a classic nude girl and always too nervous to try a colour or even nail art. But after seeing Beccas work on Instagram I got the itch for holiday nails. My go to holiday cocktail is a margarita so it was only right to go all out and create something to reflect that. Becca came through and created the best holiday nails I've ever had which attracted so much attention! 🍸

After having acrylic extensions my nails needed some serious TLC, Becca worked her magic with builder gel and my natural nail is stronger than ever! I wanted the prefect natural nude colour for work and it was no trouble for Becca she nailed it! The loveliest lady always a real treat visiting for a manicure and always looking forward to my next appointment.

I love getting my nails done by Elizabeth. She knows what she’s doing besides she’s very professional and friendly. You feel at ease straightaway. The place is very clean, tidy and well lit. They take extra care to prevent any kind of contamination. Once Elizabeth uses a nail file for you, she packs it and labels the pack with your name. They can do any kind of nail art and the gel they use lasts at least for good 2 weeks. I’m always happy to go back.

Just the OG of nail art!

There is no one as good as Amy at nail art - she is incredible. A complete perfectionist - my nails never look as good by anyone else. And I always get 3 to 4 weeks without any lifting. I would thoroughly recommend - I don’t think there is anyone as good out there xx
