Bespoke Nail Art in London

Nail art at Selfish is not a sticker and a top coat. Our artists hand-paint, sculpt and build designs across six pricing categories, so you know exactly what a single accent nail costs and exactly what a full hand-painted set costs before the appointment starts. Bring a screenshot, a colour, a fabric or an idea and we will price it.

Styles our artists work in

French tips and micro-French

The most requested finish in the salon, in a single colour on hands or toes. Thin lines, deep colours and reverse French included.

Korean-style and minimal designs

Sheer bases, fine linework, glazed and syrup finishes, ribbon and pearl details.

Chrome and cat-eye

Mirror chromes, aurora finishes and magnetic cat-eye effects across the full nail or as accents.

3D and sculpted nail art

Built elements, gems, bows and encapsulated work for occasions and editorial sets.

What to book underneath

Nail art is applied over an existing treatment, so choose the base first:

Gel manicures · BIAB nails · Nail extensions

Booking nail art

Nail art adds time to your appointment, so book it when you reserve rather than asking on the day. If you have a specific design in mind, send it to the salon in advance and we will tell you which category it falls into and how long to allow.

Nail art for events and groups

Birthdays, hen parties, baby showers and workplace events all work well with a simple design category so everyone finishes at the same time.

Nail art FAQs

How do I know which category my design is?

Send a picture to the salon before booking. As a rule, one or two nails is a simple design, a full set of linework sits around Category II to III, and built 3D work sits at Category IV and above.

Can I have nail art on a pedicure?

Yes, and French tips on toes start at £13.

How long does nail art last?

As long as the service underneath it — three to four weeks on a gel or BIAB set.

Can I bring my own design?

Yes, and it is the best way to book. A reference image lets us allocate the right artist and the right amount of time.
