A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of being invited to a complimentary manicure at the Laurent Perrier Chamagne and Nail Bar located in the Club and Spa, in the Cube. A glass of bubbly and the chance to have my nails done? How could I refuse!Image c/o Ed James Group
I had never been to The Cube before and I had no idea a gem like this was hidden in there, if you're ever around Birmingham I highly recommend taking a break to enjoy a good pamper here! When we arrived we were given a tour of the Club and Spa, there is a fully equipped gym, many beautifully relaxing treatment rooms, a pool, an amazing relaxation area with hanging pods (so cool trust me) and of course the nail bar. All beautifully decorated and so relaxing right from the moment your little toes enter.Image c/o Ed James Group
After our tour around the Club and Spa it was time to sit down, enjoy a glass bubbly and get our nails done. It's a very rare treat for me to get my nails done, I used to get them done all the time when I was around 17/18 but since then I've only had them done once. I'd been thinking about what color I wanted to have them painted all day and knew I wanted to go for something a little bit different. If you take a look at my nail varnish collection it's all pinks, neutrals and dark purples with glitters in there of course. I knew I wanted a color I'd never worn before and after seeing the color on Laurie's nails knew I wanted an off white color.Image c/o Ed James Group
I've never thought about wearing a white nail paint before, I was always scared they'd look a little tip ex-y or would make my pasty white hands appear transparent. None of that happened at all, I went for a just off white color (don't have the name of the color used boo!) and I loved it!! It didn't leave me looking like I'd got carried away with tip ex and it complimented myWhenever I paint my nails they always last around 2 days max before they chip a little and need redoing. I was so impressed with how long this manicure lasted, It was around a week before any chips happened and even then it was a little longer before I could get away with not taking the paint off. So when I next get them done I know it's money well spent, not just for the wonderful experience but for the long lasting manicure aswell.

Overall I loved the whole experience of this evening. The staff were absolutely wonderful, so friendly and knew their stuff! The atmosphere in the Club and Spa was so relaxing and chilled, I felt like I needed to take a nap before heading home! I definitely want to come back again and try out some of the massage treatments aswell as get my nails done.
