I got Wah-ed!

I have been banging on about Wah! nails to all and sundry for long enough and in spite of my own leopard print alternative it was about time I had the Wah! experience for myself.

On our first day in London, Ann and I headed to Wah! at Topshop Oxford Street.  Here are the results of my very first Wah!ing.

I went for the Marc Jacobs polka dot on matte black and an orange, black and gold stripe to go with my platforms that I would be wearing the next day (in the end I didn't wear them but that's another story).

And Scottish ladies did you know, Wah! has arrived at Harvey Nichols, Edinburgh?!  I had no clue either until the London Wah girls informed me... i think an imminent trip through is on the cards.

What are you waiting for?


EDIT:  It seems the Wah! girl got her celtic connections mixed up.  It's actually Harvey Nichols Dublin that is lucky enough to be host to Wah! Nails ... so Irish ladies, get in there!! Scottish lassies ... we will have to wait this one out a bit longer.

Wah! Wah! Wah!

Wow! Wow! Wow!

Having recently got into doing a bit of d.i.y nail art, it was an absolute pleasure to find Wah! Nails.

Where have I been?? Really? How did I not know about the wonders of Wah! already?

Originally based in the East end of London (correct me if I'm wrong), Wah! seem to be growing in leaps and bounds and now have another base at Topshop Oxford Street.

The brain child of Sharmadean Reid, who herself is already succsesful as a stylist, journalist and editor of her own online magazine, she decided to venture into the world of nails and now has some very talented people creating wonderful nail designs.

Miu Miu Inspired nails

I'm not talking about airbrushed nail art, although I don't doubt that they can offer this too, but intricately drawn on designs ranging from leopard print to spongebob square pants to pretty little bows. In fact, they take inspiration from everywhere, delicate works of art to rock bands to the latest designer must haves.

I am unsure of how much nails like this cost but I have heard that it's not too expensive at all - next time I'm in London, Wah! can expect a visit from me :)

Check out their website, the creations are amazing. http://wah-nails.com/
