One of my favourite parts of doing nail art is when a client gives me an idea rather than a set of nails to copy ✨

You don’t need to know exactly how it’s going to translate onto your nails, that’s my job. Unless of course you know exactly what you want which I am sooooo up for 😀

I’d much rather take the bits you love about something and create our own version of it

So if you’re someone who wants something a little more individual, we’ll probably get on very well 👀

Life lately ✨

A little bit of everything from the last few weeks, work, Barcelona, family, good food and actually remembering to take some time away from my nail desk

I love sharing the nail side of things with you, but it’s also nice to share a little bit of the person behind them too, and some of the things and people that are important to me 🤍

Not me making the nails 12 year old me would have been obsessed with 💖

Reality?? Business bits, nail pics and me trying to look like I know what I’m doing on my laptop 🙃

the reality is mostly clients, admin, content, training, brushing off nails dust and forgetting where I put my coffee, phone, gel, brush, marbles 😅

glamorous? Mmmmm not quite sure lol
mine? absolutely ☺️🤍

The most common thing I hear from new clients? 🤍

“I thought my nails were just weak”

And sometimes they are naturally on the thinner/weaker side. But more often than not, there’s usually a reason behind the peeling, splitting, breaking or constant lifting.

Over-filing, picking, incorrect product, wearing something that doesn’t suit your lifestyle, poor prep, previous damage, aftercare… it all matters

What I do at your appointment is one part of it, but how you treat your nails when you leave matters too

Gloves for cleaning and washing up, not using your nails as tools, being mindful with them day to day, all of that makes a difference

That’s exactly why every appointment starts with an assessment

I look at the condition of your nails, your lifestyle, your goals, and then decide what’s actually going to work best for you

It’s also why I am constantly training to It’s also why I’m constantly investing in training and education, so I can keep improving my skills, stay up to date, and make the best decisions for the nails sitting in front of me 📚

Because healthy nails aren’t just luck…They usually come from the right approach on both sides

Have you ever been told your nails were “just weak”?

One thing about my clients (sister or not), they’re gonna send me the best nail pics 😭☀️

still obsessed with this set and honestly, this photo just feels like summer

I love nails like this because every finger has its own little personality, but the whole set still somehow works together

more of this energy please 🍺
