Last Tuesday me and Jo went along to Hope Brothers on Dixon Street, Welly, for their free manicure with any martini. What a great concept! It’s a fantastic collaboration between Hope and Hevan Beauty.

Me and Jo arrived at Hope after work and ordered a couple of martinis, as we usually do. Only this time we got to have our nails done and chat to two lovely manicurists.

One of these ladies was Hannah Evans-Scott, owner of Hevan. She’s into organising these kinds of events mixing fun and pampering. She’s one of those lovely-and-at-the-same-time-inspiring women obviously doing what she loves.

The manicures themselves were very good – gentle and professional. Starting with a nice hand massage with almond oil, then file and buff, and then polish. You can choose what you want at each of these steps. And men are welcome to enjoy one too.

I think these are regular evenings at Hope over summer (though I can’t find any evidence on the internet). And I thoroughly recommend! Tip: if you’re not au fait with martinis try a chocolate martini to begin with, and the you can move onto a dry or dirty or whatever takes your fancy…
