Hello Chrome Nails

I might have the best Chrome Nails in Dubai.

A dramatic statement I know, but hear me out.

Part of me didn’t actually want to write this blog post, as I kind of want to keep it all to myself and not send too many people to see Olga, who can also be referred to as The Best Nail Technician in Dubai 😉

As many of you know, I have acrylic nails. I’ve had them for over two years (eek).

I broke my thumb in Ireland approximately two years ago and the nail looked gross, so I had acrylics done to cover it and then I got addicted.

The issue with acrylics, however, is that refills can be hit and miss. I’ve had some good experiences and some really bad ones. Getting the cuticles ripped off me, wonky refills, too thick/lumpy/fake looking (lolz) – all regular occurrences over the last two years.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had some good experiences too, but the most recent one at En Vogue Beauty Center takes the biscuit.

Olga was semi-horrified when she saw my nails and asked me why they were so thick? This was music to my ears as my number one request when getting a refill is ‘please make them as thin as possible’.

She got to work, and honestly – it’s the best nail refill I’ve ever had.

They’re thin, smooth, and basically my dream (fake) nails.

Chrome Nails

When I posted about the experience on Instagram Stories I got lots of messages from other women in Dubai singing the praises of En Vogue in general, saying their packages are great, and that they run regular promotions.

In the press release I received last week, I noticed that the current charge for Chrome Nails is AED100, AND there’s 50% off all manicure and pedicure services throughout the summer!

Amazeballs.

They have a couple of branches in Dubai, but I loved the one in JLT so I plan to make that my new favourite salon.

Are you planning to get Chrome Nails this summer? (or acrylics?)

Their new Dynamic Skin Retinol is an exciting launch as it’s suitable for entry-level users (using once a week) and experienced users (using several times a week). 

It contains a 3.5% retinoid complex, concentrated squalane and beta-glucan (an oat-derived humectant), so it’s powerful but hydrating and soothing at the same time 👏🏻 

They brought us to @westburydublin to celebrate the launch with the wonderful @louise_dermalogica (she’s patiently answered every nerdy skincare question I’ve ever put to her 😂) and honestly, I can’t believe it’s already over - so here’s a post to help me go back there for a moment.

@beautyofjoseon_official Relief Sun SPF50. It’s made with 30% rice extract so it’s super gentle and particularly great for sensitive skin. 

It’s lightweight, hydrating, not sticky and leaves no white cast on the skin (and it’s amazing under makeup). 

If you’re looking for a new sunscreen, try this. It’s absolutely brilliant 🙌🏻
