OH MY E.MI

Always on trend, award-winning N.Bar Qatar showcases their latest manicure inspired by fashion, E.MI and we are officially obsessed with their impressive range that we shamelessly peacocked on our travels.

Everyone keeps talking about the new trend in nails and most are still trying to understand what a gel manicure is really all about. If you haven’t tried this type of manicure and are debating whether or not you should, then you definitely need to visit one of N.Bar Qatar’s leading nail technicians - pronto! Even more so now that E.MI has left its fingerprint at their eponymous outlets.

I’ve heard a lot of conversations and concerns over the years with my girlfriends surrounding the illusion that gel is difficult to remove or indeed the misconception that it has ruined nails, leaving them cracked, thin, and frail. This is all in the hands of your local nail salon and it should never be anything short of a wonderful experience. I for one always feel on top of the world when a new flash of colour or design adorns my nails and I feel somewhat more confident when meeting people, so-much-so that my whole persona changes when I am armed with a fresh manicure and I feel that I’m ready to take on the world.

Results of a E.MI manicure should last for about two weeks or longer - no chipping or fading (or excuses!). There are over 30 shades of lacquer, and they can be layered for endless possibilities. That’s a key statement here because I keep hearing “they don’t have any good colours” as a way to justify the burden of previous visits to other salons where chipped polish seems to be a regular occurrence. Alas, with professionalism like this at your fingertips, N.Bar Qatar are your new best friend and those cringeworthy manicures are now shortlived. They even know how to pair the colours together to create new ones that satisfy your style, and that’s just the beginning. E.MI showcase a portfolio of nail art as an option - no matter how simple or radical. After my initial consultation about what I would like to achieve we decided on a range of stylistic accessories for my nail design. These come in a variety of Charmicon 3D Silicon Transfers that are made of a soft and manageable material, perfectly covering the nail plate. There are a variety of decorative gel without a sticky layer for nail designs that can create a jewel-encrusted effect and also stylish accessories for true fashionistas - gorgeous patterns, openwork lace, original designs, stylish elements such as bows and crowns. I was lured into the monochrome, gold and marble designs that were elegantly chic and perfect for the New Year celebrations… and wow, it really showcased itself against my wedding ring which is no easy
