I know I can’t be the only girl obsessed with nails, and I finally found a place to call home with @TheNailsShow today at CARGO. For £15 at the door you can glam up your nails with other like-minded divas.

I got to chat with Nicole, the founder of Total Renewal who created tonights event. She realized the growing need for nail buffs to have a place to shine outside of the salon. As she says, ““Nails have become an accessory, a fashion statement and a part of our regular grooming.”

This is the first time I witnessed a manicure show-down. With only 20 minutes to design it was as intense as Hell’s Kitchen.

This is my favourite look of the day. Aren’t they pretty?

This sure beats mani-dates at the salon! Follow @TheNailsShow to check out who also attended tonight’s event and make sure to mark your calendar for the next one.

Until next time! Cheers, @missamandachen
