Pretty and Polished

Feels like summer 🌸🌼

I love a line of light on nails but not when it goes straight through my flowers 🤦‍♀️😂

This 👏👏

Thankfully I have THE BEST customers who support me and my small business ❤️

Double bills???….⬇️

Being employed and being self-employed are two very different things.

When you’re employed, you go to work, get paid, and use that money to cover your household bills.

A self-employed nail tech goes to work too. But if a client cancels at the last minute or simply doesn’t turn up, they’ve still travelled to work, set up their station, and reserved that appointment time—only now they’re not getting paid.

When a client does attend, the money they earn doesn’t go straight into their pocket. First, it has to cover their business costs: salon rent, products, utilities, insurance, training, taxes, and so much more. Only what’s left becomes their wage to pay the bills at home.

Imagine having to cover two sets of bills every single month.

So next time you think about asking, “Can you do it cheaper?”, remember that many nail techs are already charging less than they’re truly worth.

And if you book an appointment, please don’t be a no-show. Some nail techs have even paid for childcare just so they can be there for your appointment.

Supporting your nail tech doesn’t just keep their business going—it helps support their family too. 🫶

June dump… because apparently posting in real time isn’t one of my talents 🤦🏼‍♀️💅

These are just a few of the gorgeous sets I never got round to sharing last month!

I honestly feel so lucky that my diary is staying so busy, and it means so much to see so many familiar faces returning after my maternity leave and welcoming lots of new customers. Your support never goes unnoticed. 🫶

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for keeping me so busy doing what I love. ❤️

Now… hold me accountable! July is the month I promise to get better at posting all the gorgeous nails you’ve all been having. 🤞✨

Which set is your favourite? 👇

Prom season is officially here, and I had the pleasure of creating these gorgeous prom nails ✨💅

We added instant length using perfectly fitted full-cover tips, then finished them with an elegant design to complement the dress beautifully.

There’s something so special about helping clients feel their absolute best for such a memorable occasion 🤍

Would you choose a timeless, classy set like this for prom, or are you more of a bold-glam kind of girl? Let me know below 👇

✨ Time to start a nail journey…

My client came to me with sore, damaged skin around the nails and a goal of growing her natural nails longer and stronger.

Swipe through to see the transformation ➡️
📸 Before: irritated, broken skin and weak nails
📸 After prep: gentle cuticle work and a protective base coat
📸 Final result: a soft gel overlay to add strength, support natural growth, and a little TLC for the surrounding skin

To help continue the progress at home, I’ve recommended daily cuticle oil to keep the skin hydrated and healthy. We’ve booked a review appointment in 4 weeks, and I can’t wait to see how far these nails have come by then! 💅✨

Healthy nails are a journey, not an overnight transformation. Stay tuned for the updates! 🤍

POV: You asked for something cute, summery and holiday ready 💛✨

I loved how these polka dot contrast turned out.

Using a new shade from for the red which was a dream to use, so will definitely be ordering more of their gel polishes over the coming weeks.
