Tinder’s pop-up nail bar celebrating empowered dating
25th – 26th October 2024
London, UK
*Over 18s only. Appointments are subject to availability. When booking you agree to arrive with bare, clean nails. By clicking the button above, you agree you have read and unreservedly accept the Nailing Dating Terms & Conditions.
October 2024 will see the doors open to Tinder’s pop-up nail bar, Nailing Dating™, created in partnership with global non-profit organisation NO MORE.
The pop-up nail bar aims to celebrate positive and empowered dating with the release of Tinder and NO MORE’s Ten ‘Tips’ alongside free manicures.
This comes as new research1 from Tinder and NO MORE reveals that while 57% of single women (aged 18-35 years old) talk candidly about dating when having a manicure, three quarters (75%) hold back from discussing their dating lives with friends and family.
So, to help empower dating journeys, Nailing Dating is here to share Tinder and NO MORE’s Ten Tips to help you date with confidence, whilst giving you a *free* mani you’ll love.
Plus, NO MORE will also be leading a free workshop across both days of the pop-up at 2pm, offering advice and coaching on how to have open and honest conversations about dating with your trusted inner circle.
This is a limited pop-up from 25th – 26th October 2024, so be quick to book your slot.
Ten Tips
Whether it’s online or in real life, the Ten Tips offer tangible and practical guidance so you can date positively, healthily and with confidence.
01
Know and own your truth.
Whether you know exactly what you want from dating or you’re still unsure – know that truth about yourself and own it. Don’t ever shy away from communicating this, especially on your dating profile – we all appreciate knowing where we stand.
02
Dating is a journey, not a race.
There’s no ‘fast track’ or ‘instant delivery’ when it comes to dating. Take your time to curate the perfect Tinder profile that reflects you, and when speaking with a new connection, don’t rush getting to know each other. That’s one of the best bits of dating and you may just find your new best friend, a travel buddy or soulmate.
03
You’re in control. Always.
From dating apps to meeting IRL. This is your dating journey and no one else’s. You’re in control of who and when you message and when you want to meet. Date on the terms you’re most comfortable with.
04
Know your non-negotiables.
Define what matters most to you before dating, including your deal-breakers. Knowing these can help you quickly identify whether someone aligns with your values and needs.
05
The power of the picture – you’re in charge of the composition.
Pictures are powerful. Only select what you feel comfortable sharing, and be mindful about what’s in the background on any photos uploaded to your profile. Also, get familiar with app features such as Tinder’s Photo and ID Verifications, so you can feel more confident in the authenticity of profiles you’re viewing.
06
Sharing your IRL date plans is the way forward.
Once your IRL date plans are sorted, why not share them with friends which can easily be done straight from the app with Tinder’s Share My Date feature. Afterall it makes sense that your people know where you’re going. Plus, they’ll be primed on the group chat for the all important post-date debrief.
07
Location, location, location…matters.
When moving the connection from online to IRL, location matters. Go somewhere you’re familiar with that is public. So whether it’s going for a coffee or even a picnic in the park, choose a place where you’ll feel most comfortable and you know well.
08
8 billion to 1 – there’s more out there.
Whether it’s a message or the first or fifth date, if the spark isn’t there, don’t stress. Sometimes it’s just not meant to be and that’s perfectly ok. There’s nearly 8 billion people in the world, so your special someone is out there.
09
Take it to the group – no need to keep dating a secret.
Dating doesn’t have to be a solo journey. Sharing the joy of meeting someone new – or even an amusing date – with your trusted circle can make your dating fun. Your besties are here for it all, so let them be your cheerleaders and empower you.
10
Take a break – there’s no rush (your wellbeing is the priority).
Dating is supposed to be fun, so if you’re ever feeling that you need to take time for yourself to recharge, do it. Dating is as much about self-discovery as it is about finding your person or people. You and your wellbeing come first, always.
Please note that we ask that you come to your appointment with bare, clean nails, as there will be no option to remove existing polish or extensions. Failure to do so may result in your appointment being canceled.
The full manicure will take 1h approx.
