Nails By Lou

Hi everyone! 👋🏼 And a big welcome to all my new followers! 💖

I’m Lou, the face behind Nails By Lou If you’re not already following me over there and you’re a sucker for a fresh set of nails, come and join me! 💅🏼✌🏼

Thought I’d do the obligatory (slightly cringey) little intro…

💅🏼 Nails – I’ve been obsessed with having my nails done forever. Any other 90s kids remember those peel-off nail varnishes? Peak childhood.

📚 Books – You’ll usually find me curled up with my Kindle in the evenings, reading the latest fantasy romance… okay, fantasy s**t. No shame here. 😌

👶🏼 Mum life – I welcomed my beautiful daughter, Phoebe, in May. She’s our little rainbow after a journey that made us wonder if parenthood would ever happen for us. She really is our greatest adventure. 🌈

🎵 Music – Proud Swiftie over here, but my Spotify Wrapped is always a mix of Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, The 1975, The Weeknd… and a few guilty pleasures I’m definitely not admitting to. 😂

🐶 Dog mum – I have a 15-year-old Yorkshire Terrier called Henry. He’s an absolute legend and a little fighter after a rough patch with his health last year. ❤️

🏎️ F1 – I’ve become slightly obsessed with Formula 1 over the last few years. And yes… I support the driver, not the team. Oscar Piastri all the way. 🧡🏁

Thanks for making it to the end and for following along! I’m so glad you’re here. 🥰

It’s been a while!

Since my last post last year, I’ve been a little busy. Getting used to my promotion of being Mum! We introduced our little girl into the world over May Bank Holiday! 🩷

Still loving for the insane gel pigmentation &butter like Build It builder gel.

Thanks for sticking around, it’s good to be back! These are giving festival vibes ✌🏼
