My friendly beautician Kaajal arrived to do a manicure and pedicure and brought everything with her – you don’t need to use any of your towels or bowls. She even brought with a foldable couch, which I laid on for two hours with an eye mask on whilst Kaajal did my nails. Two hours is not the speediest for a mani-pedi but this is a service that’s about taking time out for yourself and it’s quite rare that you actually get to lie down whilst having your nails done. Kaajal’s choice of colours was clearly not as wide as you’d get in a salon – she’s got to carry them around with her – but with a blue, a purple, a glitter and a couple of reds and pinks, there was enough to suit most tastes. I went for OPI’s All I Want For Christmas, a festive red, and my nails now look delicious – short, square and cuticle free, just like I asked for.
