The shade studio
Pick a shade, see it on
Reviewers keep mentioning the colour wall. Try a few of May's real finishes below — every one shown here is work that has walked out of the studio.
May takes her time and works with your natural nail, not against it — the technique keeps them strong while they grow. Bring a picture, describe a mood, or just point at the wall.
- ✓Everyday nudes, soft pinks and sage tones for a natural finish
- ✓Ombre, chrome and pearl for something with a bit more shine
- ✓Freehand art & lettering — from tiny details to a full bold set
Shade names are our own descriptions of May's real finishes — the exact colours are chosen with you in the studio.

- ✓Gentle, natural technique — no glue, no acrylic damage
- ✓One-to-one attention — you get May, not a queue
- ✓A calm studio a minute from Hackney Wick station

A few things to confirm with you before we go live
- Booking — we found your Treatwell page and wired every "Book online" button to it. Please confirm it's yours and current (a mobile / WhatsApp number can be added as an alternative if you'd prefer).
- Opening hours — Google shows Mon–Sat until 19:00, your Treatwell page shows until 18:30. Which is right? (The site currently uses the 19:00 Google hours.)
- Price list — happy to add real "from" prices per treatment if you'd like them shown.
- "20+ years' experience" is drawn from a client review — confirm the exact wording you're happy with.
- Instagram / Facebook handle to link, if you have one.
- Any treatments to add or remove, and photos you'd like featured or swapped.
