Thanks to established nail studios like Doll Parts, Nails By Ya Gal, and Emily Meraki, there's never a shortage of nail art to be spotted in Manchester. This year the trend will boom once again, predicts Millie Horton, owner of Doll Parts, which is based in Affleck's Palace, an iconic Manchester institution that has a long history as the go-to hangout for the city's youth culture.
"People are embracing bold, brave trends at the moment", she said. "Being unable to go out and enjoy ourselves as we usually would this year has influenced everyone to have more fun with the smaller things. My clients have been loving mix and match nail art, vivid colours and fun designs like emojis and '70s style waves".
