Reborn nails

Hiya, my gorgeous girls! 💕 Consider yourselves kissed! 😘How else could I possibly end the weekend if not with a little weekly recap and a few photos of my absolutely fabulous work? 💅🏼✨
This week was officially PRO PEDICURE WEEK and, honestly, I had an absolute blast.
As you’ve all learnt by now, anything “easy” bores me to death within approximately 3.5 seconds… so naturally, God decided to bless me with nothing but properly complicated pedicures this week. 😂
And I LOVED every second of it.I really wish I could have taken more photos to show you all, but not everyone feels comfortable having their feet photographed, especially when there are nail issues involved — and I completely respect that. ❤️
But I promise you, I’ll be bringing you some before & after results in a few months, and THEN you’ll see some seriously gorgeous little toenails. Just you wait. 👀✨
Us girls who’ve been here for a while have already built some pretty amazing connections — the kind you genuinely don’t forget. ❤️But this week I also heard new stories, met new people and, do you know what made me happiest?
They were willing to wait until I had a free slot to fit them in.That genuinely means so much to me. 🥹❤️
I know, I know… I’m clearly very special.
Someone get this girl a halo immediately. 😇😂So yes, I had fun, I had a laugh, I worked my little hands off and, most importantly, I created some absolute stunners. 💅🏼This week we had BIAB and gel manicures, gel pedicures and, of course, PRO pedicures — because summer is officially over and we are now entering the era of actually dealing with the problems instead of hiding them under pretty polish. 😂
And with that said… if you need me, you know where to find me. ❤️ i absolutely bloody love you all and I’ll see you Wednesday morning, back at work and ready to cause some more nail-related chaos. 😂💅🏼

Love youuuuu! ❤️✨

Yesterday I officially survived ANOTHER week of work and honestly, I cannot even begin to tell you how ridiculously happy I am that the kids are going back to school tomorrow. 😂
I genuinely wasn’t sure I was going to survive that many weeks of chaos, suffering and pure emotional damage. 😂

This week we had some gorgeous summer nails, a few early autumn sets, gel pedicures and, of course, the most important ones… the proper Pro ones. 😂

The stories have been coming in faster than I can process them, but this month, somehow, I was the one who needed therapy. 🫠😂I promise I’m switching my brain back on this week, though. Enough with the sad stories — we’re going back to laughter, madness and me being your unofficial therapist, just like we’re used to. Because apparently I’m a nail tech, therapist, counsellor and part-time comedian all in one. 😂
Do I even need to remind you that every single manicure and pedicure was done with ridiculous attention to detail? That I cleaned and trimmed every cuticle the way only I know how? Should I tell you about the natural-looking apex, or the underneath filing?
No.I won’t.
You already know. 😌😂
Anyway, I’m using these few days off to recharge my batteries with all the positive energy I can find, while preparing thousands of autumn designs for you. 🍂🤎
And then we’re back at it Wednesday, bright and ridiculously early, ready for more nails, more stories, more laughter and probably another emotional breakdown or two. 😂

Love you all SO bloody much. 🤎

See you Wednesday! 💅🏼✨

Title: Another Week in the Life of Adriana — Apparently I’m Irreplaceable 😂

Hellooooo, my gorgeous girls! 💅🏼❤️

And just like that… another week of work is officially DONE! 🎉

This week has honestly been one of the best weeks ever — and let me tell you why.

Because after daring to disappear for TWO WHOLE WEEKS, I came back to a rather impressive collection of compliments. Apparently, absence really does make the heart grow fonder… or at least makes people realise how much they need me. 😂

First one was:

“You’re like salt. I only realised how much i need you when you're gone.”

Well… excuse me while I frame that one. 😂🧂

Then someone told me I’m exactly like Lucifer — apparently I’m not interested in material things, only in people’s souls. 😇😈

I mean… I don’t know whether to be flattered or concerned, but I’ll take it. 😂

And then came Vladi.

He looked at me and asked:

“Mami, how old are you?”

So, naturally, I told him my absolutely ridiculous number of years.

His response?

“Ahhh… now I understand some things.”

🙂

That was it.

Conversation over.

I decided not to investigate further because, quite frankly, I felt a small, painful stab directly into my young and rebellious soul. 😂💔

And as beautiful as this week was, it also felt VERY long.

I swear Friday alone lasted approximately 200 days.
At one point I genuinely thought we had entered a different calendar system. 😂

Anyway… enough about my emotional trauma. Let’s move on to the really important things:

NAILS. AND. TOES. 💅🏼🦶🏼

I’ve done an absolutely ridiculous number of manicures and pedicures this week, although obviously I only managed to photograph as many as my poor, exhausted brain allowed me to.

We had BIAB, gel, professional pedicures, gel pedicures… basically a little bit of everything.

And honestly?

A bloody dream. ✨

And now, before you all roll your eyes so hard that they get stuck…

Let’s talk about CHRISTMAS APPOINTMENTS. 🎄😂

Yes. I know.

I’ve seen the looks already.

I can practically hear you saying:

“Oh come on, Adriana! There are still FOUR MONTHS until Christmas!”

Yes, babes. I know. 😂

But I’m telling you now because I don’t want to hear:

“You never told us!”

Come December, I want no drama, no tears, no Christmas miracles and definitely no messages saying:

“Any chance you can squeeze me in this week?” 😂

So consider yourselves officially warned. 🎄💅🏼

Right, that’s enough from me.

I absolutely bloody love you all, and I’ll see you next week! ❤️

Big kisses, my gorgeous girls! 💋

💋✨ Glittery kisses to all my gorgeous girls! ✨💋

I’ve officially survived another week of work — and, dare I say, I’ve finished it with flying colours. 😂

This week was actually SO much fun, despite starting dramatically with approximately 10,000 French manicures. 😂 We carried on with good vibes, questionable amounts of enthusiasm and plenty of chatting, laughing and general nonsense.

I was also told off for having the audacity to take TWO WHOLE WEEKS OFF. The cheek of me. 😂
What they don’t know is that I’ve already got my next THREE holidays for next year booked. 😌✈️
Priorities, girls. Priorities. 😂

And now… only TWO WEEKS until the children go back to school. 🙏🏻

Which brings me to the important question:

In two weeks, how many mental illnesses can a fully grown adult realistically avoid developing? 😂😂😂

Because I feel like I’ve been doing Olympic-level slalom around them all summer, and I’m slightly concerned my brain is now held together by caffeine, sarcasm and pure determination. 😂

Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled programming… 🐑😂

This week we’ve done gel manicures, BIAB, plenty of nail art and painting, all whilst attempting to keep our foreheads wrinkle-free from laughing. 😂

We’ve also had gel pedicures AND pro pedicures, because apparently feet deserve luxury too. 💅🏻✨

So, I’ll leave you lovely lot to admire all the beauties from this week.

I’ll see you all bright and ridiculously early on Wednesday morning. ☀️😂

Love you all SO bloody much! 💕✨

Hello, you gorgeous girls! 💅🏼✨

Well… my holiday is officially over, which means I’m back at work, full of joy, enthusiasm and absolutely no idea what day it is. 😂

Honestly… I did miss you lot! 🥹❤️

I had TWO WHOLE WEEKS OFF… allegedly. Because in reality, I spent the entire time running around like a boiled goose 🪿💨 from one place to another, looking like I’d lost my bloody head and desperately trying to find it again. Because obviously… what on earth would I do without this stunningly magnificent brain of mine? 🤣

Anyway… I found my head. And then I could finally say: RIGHT. THAT’S ENOUGH. 😂

A few VERY big changes have happened, and I’m bloody proud of myself. Like… properly proud. 🥹✨
So, if you’ve never witnessed someone blooming overnight and radiating like they’ve just discovered the secret to life… congratulations. You’re now officially witnesses to my transformation. 🌸✨😂

Right… back to the important stuff: NAILS. 💅🏼

And what can I say?

ABSOLUTE DISASTER. 😂

Literally from my first day back at work, what do I get in exchange for all that “missing me”?

FRENCH. FRENCH. AND MORE BLOODY FRENCH. 🤣🤍

You lot absolutely ate my soul from the very first second. I’ve done approximately three trillion French manicures from Wednesday until now, and I swore I wasn’t even going to photograph them.

Because seriously… why?!
Why should I spend my precious talent creating ridiculously beautiful, detailed photos of French nails when I’m clearly being forced into mass French production? 😂

I mean… I’m wasting my God-given artistic genius here.
I may need a moment. I’m fainting as we speak. 🤣🤣🤣

BUT… I did take a few photos, just enough to give your eyes something pretty to look at. 👀💅🏼✨

And before I forget… more than HALF of you have already booked yourselves in right up until Christmas! 🎄😳

So, if you want an appointment, I strongly suggest you start bombarding me with messages NOW. 😂📲💨

Christmas appointments are disappearing faster than my sanity when someone says, “Can I just have a simple French?” 🤣

Anyway, I’ll leave you now because tomorrow it’s a 6am wake-up and back to doing what we do best — amazing nails.

🎉🎉🎉 Right then, ladies... it's official! As of yesterday at 5:30 pm, I am officially on holiday! 🎉🎉🎉

I survived. Again. 😎

The last 9 weeks have been absolutely brutal. Twelve-hour workdays, coursework, assessments, deadlines chasing me like unpaid bills... honestly, I deserve a medal at this point.

For the next (almost) two weeks, I solemnly swear I shall not be opening the salon door. 🤣

Before I put my work phone on silent and launch it into a random drawer where it can think about what it's done, I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything we've built together. This beautiful little "nails with therapy" family means more to me than you'll ever know.

Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. I wouldn't know half the things I know now, and most importantly, I wouldn't have so many incredible people in my corner. For that, I'll always be grateful.

We've laughed, we've taken the mickey out of each other, we've had a good gossip (obviously 😈), we've cried, and above all, we've always had each other's backs, no matter what.

I need this holiday like I need oxygen. Time to reset, get my head together and attempt to sort my life out... emphasis on attempt. 😂

And because even black-hearted vipers deserve a bit of sunshine now and then... 🌞🐍 I'll leave you with a few of the sets I've somehow managed to create whilst surviving the madness.

Love you all to bits! ❤️

See you all very soon with more energy, more enthusiasm and (hopefully) more motivation...
..but don't worry, I'll still have my black little heart. 😈🖤

Hello, my gorgeous girlies! 💖

I know you've all been desperately missing me and my posts, so today I managed to escape work a little earlier and thought I'd brighten your day with some lovely photos of the tiny masterpieces I've been creating. 💅✨

I've been a bit MIA lately because I've got approximately 47 million things to sort out, plus my glorious holiday is finally coming up. Naturally, that means I've been working like an absolute lunatic. Me and the railway workers are basically in the same league at this point – non-stop graft. 🤣🤣

Honestly though... my battery is officially dead. My body is no longer running on energy; it's purely powered by momentum and blind optimism. 🤣🤣

As if work and my perfectly pink little life weren't enough, the kids decided to catch a stomach bug... and, because I've clearly raised them to share and not be selfish, they very kindly passed it on to me too. How thoughtful of them. 🙄

Then, in a moment of pure delusion, I convinced myself that taking two weeks off wouldn't affect work that much. Completely ignoring the tiny detail that I'd normally have around 60 appointments during those two weeks. So I thought, "It'll be fine, I'll just squeeze everyone in around the appointments I've already got booked."

Reader... it was, in fact, not fine. 🤣🤣

I've somehow managed to do in one day what most people spread over a month. Honestly, only I could create this level of organised chaos. 🤣🤣🤣

But you all know me by now... I absolutely thrive on chaos. Although, with the amount I'm feeding on lately, I sincerely hope I don't start thriving sideways too. 🤣🤣🤣

I'm a bit slow replying to messages at the moment because I genuinely do nothing except sleep for 3–4 hours and somehow work about 400 hours in a single day. I promise I'll get back to every single one of you before I disappear on holiday.

Oh... and just so we're all clear... I'm not taking my work phone with me. Consider yourselves warned now. 🤣🤣

Love you all to bits, and I'll see you bright and early for another round of controlled chaos tomorrow! 💖😘

Right then, ladies… admit it, you missed me, didn't you? 😏💅

Well, I'm still here, grafting away day in, day out. Thought I'd drop a few photos of what I've been up to over the last few days so you've got something pretty to admire. BIABs, gel nails, gel pedicures, Pro Pedis... honestly, I've been working non-stop.

And with the end of the school year... I swear I've developed the ability to teleport. One school, back to work, another school, back to work, rinse and repeat. So if you caught a glimpse of me flying past out of the corner of your eye... yep, that was probably me, travelling at the speed of light. 😂😂

On another note... I genuinely can't wait for my holiday. My main goal? Sleep until I forget my own name. The kind of sleep where you're dribbling on the pillow and couldn't care less. That's the dream. 🤣

Oh... and one more thing. Miracles are actually real. And I'm still trying to figure out what on earth happens after one lands in your lap.

A bit of context... for well over 15 years I've been thinking about one particular "what if..." scenario. I've gone over it in my head about a million times, quietly hoping it might happen one day. I've worked towards that dream every single day. Then, just as I'd pretty much given up on it...
..it happened.

And now? I honestly haven't got the faintest clue how I'm supposed to react. 😂😂😂 I'll work that bit out as I go along. As long as we're all healthy, the rest will sort itself out.

Anyway... enough of my rambling. Here's a few photos from the last few days' work. And officially... my days off start now! 🥳

See you bright and early on Wednesday.

Love you all to bits! 😍❤️

⚠️ Warning: emotional photos and an emotionally traumatic story ahead! ⚠️
Last Friday at 4pm, my lovely Leisa was booked in. And the second she walked through the door, I knew she'd been up to no good. 😂😂😂
How did I know?
Well... she arrived carrying a bottle of Prosecco and a cupcake.
Now, don't get me wrong, Leisa loves me all year round, but she only brings Prosecco when she's done something she absolutely shouldn't have and is hoping to buy herself diplomatic immunity before I find out. 🤨😂
So, being the highly professional and respectable ladies that we are, we naturally started the appointment with a little Prosecco, Aperol and Pepsi situation. Just a gentle one, mind you. Enough to take the edge off, not enough to leave us wondering why we'd finished the bottle but somehow forgotten to finish the nails. 😂😂😂
Everything was going swimmingly until we got to the pedicure...
And that's when I discovered exactly why she'd arrived bearing gifts. 🙄🙄🙄
I won't go into details because I gave her a proper telling-off while I was working on her feet. I think she's had enough lectures to last her until Christmas. 😂😂😂
All I'll say is that today she looks absolutely stunning at her niece's wedding, so I suppose I'll forgive her. Eventually. Maybe.
And people still say there's no excitement at Reborn Nails!
We've got Prosecco, good laughs, free therapy sessions, life advice nobody asked for, emotional support, and the occasional disciplinary meeting when required. A full-service establishment, really. 😂😂😂
❤️ On a different note, I'd like to say a huge thank you to all the lovely new ladies who message me asking for appointments.
I genuinely appreciate every single message, and it means the world to me that you'd like to become part of the Reborn Nails family.
I do work a little differently from many salons, so I'd just like to explain how my booking system works.
My regular clients always come first. These are the ladies who visit month after month and often book three, four or even five appointments in advance. Because of that, my diary is usually very full.
So if you're messaging today hoping for an appointment later this week, the chances of me having a free slot are unfortunately quite small. Thankfully, cancellations are very rare, and I'm incredibly grateful for that. ❤️
Please don't take this as a rejection. It's simply a matter of organisation and making sure I'm fair to my girls who have secured their appointments well in advance.
If you'd still like to book with me, all I ask is a little patience. Take the next available appointment I can offer, come and see me, and then we'll get you organised with future appointments so you're always looked after.
Thank you for your understanding, your support, and your trust. The fact that so many of you choose me means more than you could ever know. ❤️
