The magnetic “cat-eye” streak is what our clients come back for. Tap a colour to see how the light catches it — then bring your favourite (or a screenshot) to your appointment.

“The best nail artist I've ever been to. I went with a detailed design and she paid attention to the details. Very good prices too and amazing service.”

“Cat-eye french BIAB manicure and hands down, the best I have ever had. Lovely shop with none of that horrible chemical smell, and all the staff are so lovely.”

★★★★★

“The cleanliness, hot stones, hot towels, phone holders, hard-skin removal done properly, tea and sweets, and the vast choice of cat-eye colours. So professional.”

The studio

A calm, spotless place to sit for an hour

Gloss&Glow Nails is an independent studio on Station Parade, right beside Barking Station. Clients tell us the same things again and again: it's genuinely clean, it doesn't reek of chemicals, and the finish lasts.

Come in for a quick gel tidy on your lunch break, a full sculpted set before an event, or a proper spa pedicure with hot towels and hot stones. Show us a photo of the look you want and we'll make it yours.

  • Skilled nail artists — detailed, freehand and always neat
  • Hygienic, single-use where it matters, and spotlessly clean
  • Walk in or message ahead — appointments recommended at peak times

Good to know

Before you come in

Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?
Both work. We welcome walk-ins when there's a chair free, but Station Parade gets busy — especially weekends — so it's worth messaging ahead on WhatsApp to lock in your slot.
How do I book and get a price?
Book online any time on Fresha, or message us on WhatsApp or DM @_glossandglownails with a photo of the design you like. Gel manicures start from £30 and gel pedicures from £40; the exact price depends on length, shape and detail, so we'll confirm before you sit down — no surprises.
What's a cat-eye and a BIAB manicure?
Cat-eye is a magnetic gel that catches the light in a glossy streak — we're known for the huge range of colours. BIAB (“builder gel in a bottle”) is a strengthening overlay on your natural nails that lasts for weeks and helps them grow, with far less filing than acrylics.
Can you recreate a design from a screenshot?
Yes — most of our clients bring a screenshot or a couple of reference photos. Send them over ahead of time and we'll get the colours and detail ready for your visit.
Where exactly are you and how do I get there?
We're at 7 Station Parade, Barking IG11 8ED — right beside Barking Station (District, Hammersmith & City and c2c lines), with plenty of buses on the Broadway. Open the map for directions →
