The UK’s only Chanel Nail Bar recently opened at Debenhams in the Beauty Hall so this week I went along to try the service.

The counter is divine, adorned with every Chanel nail polish that is currently available ranging from the brand’s most popular shade Rouge Noir 18 to bright pinks for the summer months.

I took a seat at the counter and was greeted by Sara who works at the counter. Firstly I was asked to select the colour I wanted to use – I choose Blue Rebel 553, a colour, which was recently launched for the summer and I thought was Bostin (!) – before Sara filed my nails.

I was then treated to the most relaxing hand massage, using the Body Excellence Nourishing and Rejuvenating Hand Cream. I hadn’t expected this as part of the treatment so it was a welcome surprise!

Sara then ‘squeaked’ my nails, which removes any excess grease to ensure that the nail polish goes on properly. It’s named ‘squeaking’ as it literally squeaks on your nails!

Then it was onto the painting and firstly a protective base coat with anti-staining was applied before the nail polish. The nail polish went on very easily and only required two coats to offer a finished look. Finally the Extreme Shine Nail Lacquer was applied to ensure that the polish didn’t chip.

The service is available for £20, which is redeemable against any products at the counter. The pampering treat also includes a complimentary lip colour application where you can choose from any of Chanel’s lipsticks/glosses to compliment your nails.

To book your appointment now head to the counter located in the Beauty Hall at Debenhams.
