Honestly the best and most welcoming place in Matlock to have your nails done. Liz always creates gorgeous nails. My natural nails are so healthy now and I always leave loving what ideas we come up with. Wouldn't ever go anywhere else 💕

Had my bridal nails done here today and my Mum had hers done too. We're both so impressed! Elisabeth was so friendly and welcoming and gave really good advice on what would work best. It was a really fun appointment! I came in with quite a vague idea of what I wanted and I left with better nails than I could've imagined. So, so pleased and would 100% recommend.

Liz is THE BEST nail tech I've been to. She knew I was nervous about cuticle cutting and make sure I was good with it every step of the way. She's absolutely nuts just like me and we get on really well. I feel completely comfortable with her and my manicure was perfect! I had character art on two of my nails and it was perfect. When I left there wasn't any gel under my nails or any imperfections whatsoever which I haven't experienced elsewhere. She also (nicely) nagged me about nail and cuticle care which is really important. Will definitely be going again!!

I've had two sets of gel nails with Liz, and both have been fab. She is really thorough and takes time to ensure all the details are perfect. The nail's themselves are beautiful (the photos speak for themselves) and the incredibly detailed star design lasted for a month with no problems at all. I would really recommend 😊

I've just started going to Leopard + Chrome and have had 2 brilliant nail sets so far. Lis is super knowledgeable and has great ideas on colour choices & nail art designs. My nails have been quite weak, but Lis is focused on nail health and getting stronger nails. My 1st set lasted longer than I thought they would, far exceeding expectations. Lis is great & makes the experience enjoyable and fun, plus gives you loads of nail care advice. If you want a great experience and long lasting healthy nails then Leopard + Chrome is the place for you.

Having received a gift voucher for Leopard & Chrome, I was excited that at long last I could get myself a set of ombré nails, which I'd longed for since starting my gel nail journey. I was completely blown away by the choice of colours, range of glitters and opportunity to experiment with the kind of seriously clever nail art I've only seen in online posts and which I thought was for other people. There are rows and rows of amazing colours and finishes and Lis will pull up pictures and examples if you're short of ideas. Most importantly, Lis is extremely knowledgable about nail health and strives to do what's right for the customer, which in my case was to strengthen and lengthen my extremely thin, weak nails slowly and steadily. Lis won't over-promise; she'll tell you the truth. Several sessions down the line, my nails have honestly never been as healthy or strong and I do try to carry through with the recommended after care for fear of a telling off 😬 which is always delivered with the best of intentions.😉 Thanks for sorting me out Lis and for brilliant suggestions and artistic flair resulting in the fabulousness I've always aspired to. If you've always fancied funky or fantastic nails, get booked in! 💅🌈

Lis is the best Nail Tech I have ever been to! Had my 3rd appointment today and have loved every set! I was astounded that her gels have lasted me around 5 weeks with only a tiny chip towards the 5th week and no lifting. Her designs are so pretty and she is super creative and lovely company 😊
