Private Russian Manicurist | Builder Gel & Hard Gel Specialist.

Behind the Nails

At Basecoat by Laura, I’m all about beautiful nails, impeccable attention to detail, and a little bit of sass. 💅🏻

My nail obsession goes way beyond pretty designs. I specialise in Russian manicures and perfectly structured nails, combining precision, advanced techniques and professional products to create flawless finishes and strong, long-lasting results. Because let’s be honest… weak nails are a tragedy!

Every appointment is completely bespoke, with a serious amount of attention to detail, a luxurious space to switch off and relax, and probably a few terrible jokes along the way. 🤣

When I’m not obsessing over cuticles and apexes, I’m answering to my two four-legged bosses, Pickles and Elton. 🐾

Luxury nails, Russian manicure precision, serious skill and just the right amount of sass. ✨
