Pastille Beauty Bar Celebrates It's 1 Year Anniversary!

I can't believe I’ve only just discovered this gem of a place recently. I have walked past Pastille on numerous occasions on my way to work admiring the pastel décor and airy, cute interior and thought it was time to lose my Gel Mani virginity!

The salon is located in the Granary Wharf area of Leeds neighbouring coffee shop, Out In The Woods and restaurant, Fazenda. What I love most about this place is the distinct neighbourhood atmosphere which a lot of chain nail bars struggle to achieve. You go in and everyone is so friendly and down-to-earth. It’s easy to understand why appointments are always booked up and most of the local residents and city slickers come here for their Mani Pedi’s on their lunch breaks.

The girls of Pastille definitely have a lot to be happy about. They were celebrating their 1^st Birthday and to as a thank you, customers got a goodie bag including treats and vouchers from many supporting local businesses. Showing their support for other local businesses is what has helped Pastille become the ‘neighbourhood beauty bar’ it is today and as a big supporter of Leeds I definitely recommend a visit to this place.

The Gel Mani is most definitely the most popular treatment here and they can also do some pretty awesome nail art too. Check out their Instagram page for ideas and inspiration. I played it safe on my first go but i'm definitely considering something a little bit more exciting for my next foray.

On this visit I had a Gel Manicure and was inspired by a post all about the white mani by Bustle. I opted for a pearly, white colour in ‘Snow Bunny’ by Gelish and I absolutely loved it! It’s as bad-ass as red but in a completely different way and makes my nails look fresh and really healthy. My favourite reaction to them so far was by my friend Maddie at work – ‘I f***ing love your nails!’ Says it all really…

Pastille do all kinds of nail treatments as well as lashes and brows. Full list of treatments and prices can be found on their website.

What do you think to my white mani?

Just love
