Tips Nail Bar Claim

The Tips Nail Bar team has been carefully hand picked and thoroughly trained by owner Leeanne Colley, an award-winning top manicurist and expert in the field. Made up of passionate, artistic perfectionists who have fun with what we do, we are known for our detailed, on-trend, long-lasting work. Come give our Shellac manicures a whirl, you WON’T be disappointed.

To fête our 10th anniversary, we cornered some of Canada’s busiest beauty editors and got them to dish on their top requests when they visit Tips Nail Bar. Some of them are bound to particular colours and shapes, while others like to play the field (not naming names just yet!). These editors travel the world and frequent all the major fashion weeks to uncover emerging trends in beauty and fashion, so to say they’re constantly in a state of inspiration is like saying Kanye West occasionally speaks his mind.

What’s your top request when you wander into Tips looking for a nail refresh?

“I usually pick something simple, graphic, and with a bit of negative space. I particularly like stripes and triangles rather than rounded shapes like circles and moons,”— Caitlin Kenny, Beauty Editor, Flare Magazine.

“I’m most likely to get negative space, either an empty moon or a scallop. Empty moons feel vintage to me and I’ve always loved scalloped edges in clothing, so incorporating them on nails is just another way to wear them.”— Lesa Hannah, Beauty Director, Fashion Magazine

“I’m drawn to graphic stripes and negative space manicures—or a classic nude polish. I love a modern, clean look. Simplicity with an edge is fresh and on trend right now. Plus, I want to be the star, with my nails as my killer accessories, not the other way around!”—Vanessa Craft, Beauty Director, ELLE Canada

“I’m famously lazy for refreshing my manicures, so empty moons and sweetheart scallops make the grow out stage—which used to irritate me— look fashionably intentional.”—Katherine Flemming, Health and Beauty Editor, ELLE Canada
