ยฃ10 nose piercing?! Donโt mind if you do ๐ฎโ๐จโจ

๐โจ Olive You So Much โจ๐
Who said neutral nails have to be boring? This gorgeous olive green gel manicure is the perfect mix of earthy, chic and effortlessly stylish.
Iโm absolutely obsessed with these rich green tones at the moment. Theyโre subtle enough for everyday wear but still make a statement every time you catch them in the light. ๐
A fresh gel manicure keeps your nails glossy, chip-resistant and looking fabulous for weeks, making it the perfect choice if you want low-maintenance nails with maximum impact.

Hello June ๐
๐ปโจ๐
Weโre officially stepping into summer season, and itโs the perfect time for a fresh set. Whether you go for soft BIAB nails or bold Gel X extensions, this is your moment to reset your look. Add a delicate piercing for that extra sparkle ๐
June is one of the busiest months of the year for nails and piercings, especially with holidays, weddings, and events coming up. Early booking is always recommended for weekends.

Gel nails lifting? Letโs talk about it ๐๐
If your gel nails keep lifting, peeling, or chipping after just a few days, I promise youโre not the only one asking why ๐
As a nail tech in Torbay, itโs one of the most common problems clients come to me with โ and the cause isnโt always what you think.
In my latest blog, I explain:
โจ Why gel nails lift around the cuticle
โจ The biggest mistakes that affect retention
โจ How water, oils, and everyday habits can impact your nails
โจ Whether BIAB nails might be a better option for you
The truth is, long-lasting nails start with the right prep, products, and aftercare ๐
So if youโve ever wondered:
๐ญ โWhy do my gel nails keep lifting?โ
๐ญ โWhy donโt my nails last as long as everyone elseโs?โ
๐ญ โShould I switch to BIAB?โ
This blog is for you ๐

๐ Then book your next gel nails or BIAB appointment with me in Torbay

๐ โIโm so sorry, butโฆโ
The excuses start getting REALLY creative when someone wants to cancel 5 minutes before their appointment ๐ญ๐
Honestly, if some of the stories Iโve heard were true, Iโd be convinced the universe was personally trying to stop people getting their nails done ๐
I get it - life happens, emergencies happen and sometimes things genuinely canโt be helped. But last-minute cancellations leave small businesses with appointment slots that are almost impossible to fill at such short notice ๐
So if you ever need to rearrange, giving as much notice as possible is always appreciated ๐ซถ
Now tell meโฆ whatโs the funniest excuse youโve ever heard for cancelling something? ๐๐

โจ Happy National Nail Tech Day! โจ๐
Today is all about celebrating the nail techs who spend their days covered in glitter, builder gel, cuticle oil and the occasional mystery speck of chrome ๐
Being a nail technician in Torbay means so much more than painting nails. Itโs creating confidence, listening to life updates, sharing laughs, celebrating milestones and helping my clients leave feeling their absolute best. ๐ฅน๐ฉท
Iโm incredibly grateful to every single client who chooses me for their BIAB nails, gel manicures, nail art, Gel-X extensions and piercings. Without you, there wouldnโt be a Nail Fairy ๐งโโ๏ธ
So today Iโm raising an iced coffee (and probably a nail file) to all the amazing nail techs out there, and especially to my lovely clients who keep me busy doing what I love every day ๐
Drop a ๐
in the comments and show your favourite nail tech some love today!

๐จ Important aftercare advice from your nail tech ๐จ
Now that your fresh nails are done, there are a few things you absolutely need to avoidโฆ
โ Going to work
โ Paying bills
โ Washing up
โ Cleaning the house
โ Cooking dinner
For best results, I recommend sitting on the sofa, admiring your nails and showing them off to everyone you meet for at least 48 hours ๐๐
๐ผ
Jokes aside, your nails are stronger than you think, but if youโve just had a fresh BIAB manicure, Gel X extensions or nail art appointment, a little extra TLC never hurts โจ
Which slide called you out the most? Be honest ๐๐
