Nail game

If you’re not one to wear cheesy Valentine’s Day-themed outfits on February 14, consider a special manicure for the occasion instead. The Nail Spa has a wide range of pink, red and classic white nail art designs on offer, from angel French manicures to polka dots, linear stripes and metallic tips.

Available at The Nail Spa locations across the UAE; from Dh15 per nail
