The Vegan Manicure You Need to Know About
Deputy editor, Sian, visited Live True London's Vauxhall and Nine Elms salon to be treated to ORLY's vegan Breathable Nails polish – read on to find out her verdict!
Nothing felt rushed, and as the polish slicked onto my nails, I sank back into my chair and let the conversation flow. I chose the cherry-red 'Love My Nails' ORLY Breathable Nails polish – it's an all-in-one treatment that contains the benefits of a treatment, base coat, polish and top coat in a single application. The glossy formula includes argan oil, pro-vitamin B5 and vitamin C to help improve hydration... but unfortunately once the polish had dried, it chipped within two hours. I was pretty disappointed by this – I hadn't expected the polish to be as durable as gel, obviously, but I had hoped for a longer-lasting finish; especially with the £30 price tag.
So, next time I fancy a vegan treatment, I would certainly return to the salon, but perhaps I'd try a different product. Live True salons also use the vegan Pureology range of haircare – so perhaps I'll treat myself to a cut and bouncy blow-dry next time. For customer service, atmosphere and ambience, I would definitely recommend Live True London – you can also find them in Clapham and Brixton.
