George Does Nails Leicester Nail Art

Unique Leicester Hand Painted Nails by George

Hello, i'm Georgia

Hi! I’m Georgia – though most people call me George – and I specialise in Leicester hand painted nails that are bold, beautiful and totally bespoke. Based inside Black Market Tattoos in Leicester city centre, I create detailed nail art that lets your personality shine through, whether you’re after something loud and layered or simple and elegant.

Hand Painted Nail Art in Leicester

I offer a range of nail services – from natural nails using BIAB to Full Cover Tip extensions – but what I’m really known for is hand painted nail art. Everything I do is designed by hand, and I love working with clients who have a vision or want to explore something unique. Whether you’re into stained glass effects, vintage florals, graphic linework or classic French tips, I’ve got you covered.

No two sets are the same, and that’s what makes my work so special. I’ve painted everything from Van Gogh-inspired swirls to tiny tattoos on fingertips. If you’ve got an idea, let’s bring it to life.

A little bit about me

If you want to know a little about me, I’m a self proclaimed weirdo, cat lady, and collector of tattoos. I love my sofa, building Lego, and Ready Salted crisps. I’m happily married (though I still have time for many a book boyfriend) and we have three cats. I’m neuro-spicy, and have a weird thing about cutlery.

I started doing my own nails in lockdown, and with some persuasion from my friends and colleagues at Black Market Tattoos, decided to add the service to what I was already doing at the studio, Cosmetic Tattooing.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs – Hand Painted Nails in Leicester

How long will my nails last?

With proper aftercare, your Leicester hand painted nails can last around 2–4 weeks. I’ll give you tips to help them stay fresh for as long as possible.

Do you offer infills or removals?

Yes – but only on nails I’ve done myself. If you’ve got nails from another tech, please get them removed before your appointment.

Can I get a design I’ve seen on Pinterest or Instagram?

Absolutely – just send it over when you enquire. I’ll let you know if we can recreate it or do a custom version with your own twist.

Do you take card or cash?

I accept cash and bank transfer – whatever’s easiest for you.

Do you do BIAB / builder gel?

Yes! BIAB is one of my most popular options for natural nails. It works great with detailed hand-painted designs.

What if I’m on a budget?

Just let me know when booking. I can scale designs to suit your price range while still keeping the vibe strong.

Is your studio accessible?

The studio is up one flight of stairs, unfortunately – but I’m always happy to chat about what support you might need before visiting.

Can I book if I’m nervous or neurodivergent?

Totally. You can request a quiet appointment and I’ll make sure the space feels safe and chill. I know how overwhelming salons can be – mine isn’t like that.
