5 spots where you can STILL get your Christmas nails done before Santa arrives

By Christina Collins December 20, 2021December 20, 2021

Rushed off your feet this week?

If you’ve been busy organising everything from the turkey to the antigen tests for all the family this year, that festive manicure you planned back in November probably didn’t happen yet.

The good news is it’s not too late to get your talons in check before December 25th – luckily for us, Cork is filled to the brim with experienced and talented beauticians who are still taking appointments this week.

Here are just some of the wonderful nail technicians open for appointments:

1. Prestige Nails

We love the intricacies of their designs and this fabulous deep green shade. Prestige Nails is located right in the heart of Cork City on St Patrick’s Quay and is open from 10 am daily, six days a week with late-night openings from Wednesday-Friday so you can get your manicure after work; be it Shellac, gel, natural nails, or nail art.

2. Sugar Dolls Cork

Sugar Dolls on Oliver Plunkett street really know how to play with colour and texture. Their wonderful technicians will take care of you from start to finish and leave you feeling more festive than a Christmas bauble. Get your Shellac, classic manicure, gel/acrylic nails, pedicure and all sorts of nail art here.

Sugar Dolls are open from 9.30am, seven days a week.

Out in the ‘burbs, Shirley’s Beauty Clinic in Glanmire offers expert nail treatments together with all the usual services. The clinic is still taking new appointments but available spots will be gone quick so make a booking pronto. Shirley’s Beauty Clinic is open six days a week from 9.30am.

Emma specialises in poly gel extensions, gel polish, and elaborate nail art, so if you’re feeling adventurous, or have a specific design in mind (Christmas tree with baubles, anyone?), get in touch to make your festive dreams come true. Emma is still taking evening appointments in the run-up to Christmas.
