If you smell a bit of an oxymoron here, hold on tight to your big rollers and smell again. In the past few weeks, I have been selflessly testing every nail salon within walking distance. Of course, it was only a question of days before the next chipped nail would force me into uncovering a hidden gem.

And hidden it shall be no longer. Let me introduce you to the New York Mani- and Pedicure, package price £32. Or even better, get a non-expiring course of ten for £230. In SW3. On the Kings Road.

I know. It’s almost too good to be true. Woohoo!

I am feeling ecstatic, and I promise I didn’t sniff the acetone. Ok, not much.
