It’s time to reveal the shortlist in our search for the best nails in Cheshire.

After launching our new Best of 2022 competition in Northwich Guardian, Knutsford Guardian, and Winsford and Middlewich Guardian at the end of last month, we wanted to know where does the best nails in Cheshire, whether it’s a salon or a mobile nail technician.

In our first Best of 2022 category we were looking at the best hair salons, barbers and stylists in the town with Lissie Wright Hair on Langley Road in Northwich being named Salon of the Year.

The following week, pies were the focus with JD’s Café in Winnington coming out on top and receiving the Pie of the Year crown.

But now we need your help to choose an overall Best for Nails winner from our shortlist.

There are three ways to vote:

1. Search for the Best Of post on our Northwich Guardian, Knutsford Guardian or Winsford and Middlewich Guardian Facebook pages and comment under the post with the name of your winner = 1 vote

2. Name your favourite in the comments section on this article via our website = 2 votes

3. Purchase a copy of this week’s Northwich Guardian, Knutsford Guardian or Winsford and Middlewich Guardian (May 12 edition) and fill in the entry form = 5 votes
