efined beauty is no easy feat. While a gorgeous dress or pair of heels is part of the equation, refined beauty is the entire package. It’s about that precisely placed strand of hair, those perfectly painted lips, designer undergarments, flawlessly executed grace, the way you sip your Champagne, and of course, its about the immaculate manicure.

With Melbourne’s Spring Race Carnival upon us, it’s a given that even the most polished lady might be lacking a little, well, polish. Ladies, never fear. Melbourne’s GPO, in collaboration with OPI, are here to help. GPO are running a pop-up Nail Frenzy bar to coincide with Melbourne’s Spring Race Carnival, dishing out their handy work to shoppers for free.

Starting yesterday and running for one week only until Wednesday November 2, a host of nail technicians are offering a free buff and polish to any talons for a tipping.

There are a variety of colours on offer, so matching a shade to your fresh new frock won’t be a problem. You can head down to the pop-up store anytime between 11am and 3pm to ensure you’re looking dazzling for race day, right down to your very last little pinky.

Nail Frenzy
Level 1, GPO, 250 Bourke St, Melbourne

Hours
Daily 11am–3pm (until Wednesday 2 November)
