As promised, I have restructured my services to *hopefully* make it easier for you all to book!

Once you click the link in my bio, you’re taken to the salons booking page Slick. Scroll down to see all the Nail categories.

I’ve broken my services down into 4 main categories and bundled in the nail art tiers to make things simple!

⚡️Structured Overlays - A structured gel base tailored to you from a full assessment of your natural nail health, daily lifestyle and long term nail goals. Also known as a prescriptive manicure.

⚡️Gel Extensions - Full-cover soft gel tips custom-fitted to achieve nail length goals instantly. Also known as Gel-X.

⚡️Recovery, Rebalance & Extras - Dedicated to natural nail health maintenance, specialised recovery treatments, and safe gel removals designed to keep your natural nail plate strong and healthy.

⚡️Custom Press-Ons - Luxury, reusable custom gel nail art engineered for an anatomical fit. Ideal for special events, temporary wear, or clients unable to wear gel full-time.

Select the service you’re wanting to book in for, and any extras (a silent service or rebalance if you’re a returning client).

Hit ‘continue’ and you’re taken through to select your appointment date and time.

Once you’ve found your preferred slot, you progress to review what you’re booking, agree to the cancellation policy and pay your booking fee!

I hope this new service structure is more straightforward for you all!

As always, any questions, let me know! 🤘🏼

Bridal party nails can be funky too 🤩

There’s something about a marble that I just adore!

It’s very much a “trust the process” design with the layers, but by adding a little bit of sparkle with NAILS-LUXE Sunstone flakes, really completes the look 💚

Think damaged nails can’t heal and grow? Let me prove you wrong ⚡️

Swipe through to see where we started ➡️

On Day 1, this client came in with highly vulnerable nail plates and damaged skin around the nail beds.

Before touching a single tool, we sat down for a detailed consultation. We mapped out their nail history, lifestyle, and past damage to figure out why their nails were struggling. From there, we established a clear treatment plan. We set realistic expectations for how long healing takes and set up an at-home care routine using Saviour™ | Nail & Skin Repair cuticle oil.

When nails are this damaged, you cannot just cover the damage with gel on top. Applying enhancements to thinned, injured nails can lead to severe lifting, further damage, or even product breakdown.

Instead of jumping straight to gel, we focused on true repair first with Phase 1 of the Foundation Restoration:
🔸 Weekly professional cuticle care to encourage healthy new growth
🔸 IBX treatments to repair and toughen the internal nail plate layers
🔸 Daily home care using specialised cuticle oil to keep skin and nails nourished

After 4 weeks of consistent care and true client commitment, the difference was incredible. The nail plate had gained structural integrity, the surrounding skin was completely calm and healed, and we had clean, healthy natural growth to work with to move to Phase 2.

Only once the nail foundation was fully restored and strong enough did we transition to a gel Prescriptive Overlay to protect that beautiful natural growth.

We’re still early on in this client’s nail health journey, but I am so proud of how far we’ve come already. Seeing this kind of progress in just a few short weeks is what it’s all about, and I’m so excited to watch their natural nails keep growing stronger and healthier with every appointment 🥹⚡️

Real nail health takes patience, the right care plan, and teamwork between tech and client.

The results speak for themselves! 🔥

Shorties deserve nail art too! 🎨

My client came to visit me from Australia but we didn’t have a plan on what design to go for, and honestly, sometimes the brain fog hits 😶‍🌫️

Thankfully, I have the Manicure Roulette original game on my desk, so we pulled a few cards to get the creative spark flowing ⚡️

Although the warm colourway card was pulled, my client wanted to keep things on the bright side as it was the start of summer. We chose a design that stuck to the nail art tier, and created this fun and funky set 🤩

What started as a head scratcher, ended with a fun colourful set that neither of us would’ve thought to have chosen!

If you’re wanting a complete mystery on what your nail art will look like or just wanting to try something new, let me know at your appointment and we can play Manicure Roulette 🃏
