Nails By Annabel Discount Codes July 2025

Somewhere between a nostalgic fever dream and a TikTok-fuelled entrepreneurial fairy tale sits Nails by Annabel - aka Glitterbels. What began at a kitchen table has now metastasised into a candy-coloured empire of gels, glitters, and inexplicably life-sized unicorns. It’s a salon, yes. But also a training academy, e-commerce brand, and seeming lifestyle proposition for those deep into the #nailtech grind. Whether that inspires you or sets off quiet alarm bells probably says more about you than them.

The Deal with the Deals

Glitterbels is currently running a few promotions that are, underneath the pastel wrapping, surprisingly reasonable. The best value - at least in terms of raw numbers - lands with the Gel Mani and Acrylic Mani Mystery Boxes XL. Both are £65 (down from £196 and £217 respectively), essentially a blind date with a box full of nail products. If you're the sort of person who likes a controlled gamble and happens to run through top coat like coffee, this is not a bad way to restock or explore the range.

What’s inside? That’s part of the charm (or risk). Reviews suggest a good variety of core products, though one buyer noted doubling up on colours - which, frankly, is inevitable in any "mystery" scenario not curated by a telepath. Still, the value’s hard to argue with, unless you count emotional value, in which case your mileage may vary.

Training, but Make It Glitter

Then there’s the educational flank. "Annabel's Art Assembly" promises a full kit of tools and a dose of guidance - all wrapped in a sort of mythologised aesthetics-meets-craft approach that’ll either feel empowering or heavily branded, depending on your perspective. Starting at around £213 (with kit included), you’re paying for access to skill and spectacle. On offer are modules in Builder Gel, Acrylic, and standard Gel, depending on your weapon of choice. It’s not cheap - but cheaper than a formal qualification, and arguably more engaging than your average YouTube deep dive.

The Chocolate Chats & Training with Charli (£70, currently 30% off) seems to be a conversational format with charm. The title implies casual vibes - sort of like a group coaching session with a warm beverage, assuming said beverage didn’t spill onto your client’s very expensive almond-shaped French tip. It’s education for the TikTok generation, with no PowerPoints in sight.

Free Shipping, If You Shop Like a Professional

Free UK shipping kicks in over £75 - easily hit if you combine training with tools or kits. Worldwide shipping becomes complimentary north of £150, which says less about geographic generosity and more about the brand’s core demo likely being semi-professionals doing monthly restocks. There’s also a whisper of a 10% discount code for first-time customers if you sign up, though it comes with the usual volley of marketing texts. If your phone’s already a tsunami of promos, this won't tip the scales. But it’s there.

Bottom Line

Glitterbels is not for the design-shy, nor for anyone seeking Scandinavian minimalism in their nailcare. But take away the unicorns, and what's left is actually a well-priced toolkit for salon-level nail maintenance and design with a loyal following and occasional moments of restraint. The deals are solid, not ostentatious. And somewhere beneath the glitter and florals, there’s the quiet efficiency of someone who knows exactly how many grams of builder gel make it through a working week.

Just... don’t expect the unicorn to help with shipping logistics.
