This is just the beginning, and I canโ€™t wait to keep evolving, creating, and bringing even better results to my clients. ๐Ÿ’…โœจ

We are OBSESSED! โœจ๐Ÿงœโ€โ™€๏ธ

The excitement from both me and my clients since adding Kokoist to my home salon has been unreal, and this gorgeous Mermaid Collection is exactly why! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’šโœจ

These cat-eye shades capture every colour of the ocean, shifting beautifully with every movement. Think shimmering turquoise waters, dreamy lilac reflections, seafoam greens, ocean blues, and magical iridescent flashes that look just like a real mermaidโ€™s tail catching the sunlight. ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿš

The depth, sparkle, and colour payoff are absolutely stunning, creating that perfect mermaid-core vibe that everyone is falling in love with. โœจ

Who else canโ€™t stop staring at these magical colour shifts? ๐Ÿงœโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’ซ

Photos from The Nail Snug's post 23/05/2026

Being a nail tech isnโ€™t just about painting pretty nails โ€” itโ€™s about education, structure, safety, and skill.

This morning I had to correct a set done elsewhere that unfortunately had:

โ€ข Thick, bulky product
โ€ข Lumps and bumps throughout
โ€ข No proper structure or apex
โ€ข Little to no prep work
โ€ข Sidewalls filed away
โ€ข Uneven, wonky shaping

And the shocking part? These nails cost ยฃ60.

People still question why experienced nail technicians charge what they do, but this is exactly why quality matters.

Over the past few years Iโ€™ve invested heavily into advanced training, education, and improving my techniques because I truly care about the quality of my work and the health of my clientsโ€™ nails.

Every detail matters โ€” from prep, to structure, to retention, to the final finish.

Cheap or poorly executed work often ends up costing more in the long run through repairs, damage, and corrective appointments. Youโ€™re not just paying for a set of nails โ€” youโ€™re paying for knowledge, experience, hygiene, precision, and ongoing education.

Thereโ€™s a huge difference between nails that simply โ€œlook okayโ€ at first glance and nails that are professionally structured to last safely and beautifully.

To my loyal clients who trust my work and understand the value behind it โ€” thank you always ๐Ÿค
