TRIED & TESTED: SUGAR COATED, DUBLIN
The newest Sugar Coated salon, in Glasthule, is a haven of beauty services, from manicures and pedicures (from €25) to a full range of brow and lash treatments, plus spray tans (we go for Bellamianta) from €30. Book in now for a manicure to see you through winter (or plan one for early January, when a hit of colour can be very cheering). Conveniently located near Hatch, which does the best coffee, Sugar Coated offers an expert take on nails and beyond; manager Eilis Downey is renowned for her brow mastery, and is an in-demand make-up artist, too. Shade of the season? Currently, the most requested polish is Manhattan, a rich berry shade, by The Gel Bottle. Guys can head next door to Sugar Daddy barbers. www.sugarcoated.ie.
