I recently attended the Scratch Stars Awards which is basically the BAFTA's of the nail industry. With Cafe de Paris as the venue and a dress code stating 'Party attire', B and I set off in a rickshaw (comedy) wondering if we were too overdressed. We needn't have worried; as we approached our destination we quickly spotted a long snaking queue of some very glamorous ladies, so glamorous in fact, that tourists were stopping to admire the line and take sneaky snaps.
I've been to a few bashes at Cafe de Paris, and it's lavish OTT interior complete with lit-up chandelier and plush velvet couches never fails to impress. We settled on the balcony with a glass of champers and the ceremony began...
Presented by GMTV's Dan Lobb and Scratch magazine editor Alex Fox, the award included prizes such as 'Nail Artist of the Year', 'Manicurist of the Year' and 'Best Educating and Training'. Check out the full list of prizes and winners HERE
Then the party began and the crowd took to the dance floor armed with complimentary wine. With it being a school night, we didn't stay late, but did manage to get a snap with the charming host. A great night all round. It's great to see the professionals gaining recognition for their talent and hard work throughout the year.
