DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL WEEKEND

Swipe to see some of the custom sets I created for my clients heading off this weekend. Have the most amazing time and make some memories! 🖤

✨ Student Spotlight: Lucy ✨

Last year, Lucy qualified as a nail technician with me, and I couldn’t be prouder of her journey.

Over three months, she worked incredibly hard, pushed herself out of her comfort zone, and trained in something completely new. It has been amazing to witness her growth, especially as I’ve known Lucy for many years. Seeing her confidence blossom while doing something she truly loves has been so heart-warming. She is truly flourishing.

Lucy is now working from home as a part-time nail technician alongside her full-time job. She is achieving her goals so quickly and absolutely glowing while doing it. Her work has come such a long way, and she is now producing extremely professional nail sets and services.

She is mastering her craft and is currently training in e-file to elevate her services even further.

What makes Lucy’s journey even more special is the dedication she has shown beyond her training. She has continued to invest in herself, build her skills, and strive for excellence in every service she offers. Her passion, determination, and willingness to keep learning are what make her stand out.

Lucy is proof that stepping outside your comfort zone can lead to incredible opportunities. Just a year ago, she was learning something completely new, and now she is building a successful nail business alongside her full-time career.

Proud is an understatement. Huge congratulations, Lucy, on everything you have achieved so far. I can’t wait to see what else the future holds for you. 🤍

One small drop can make a big difference.

Cuticle oil isn’t just for your cuticles—it’s essential for keeping both your nails and the surrounding skin healthy and hydrated.

✨ Helps prevent dryness and cracking
✨ Reduces peeling and breakage
✨ Nourishes the natural nail plate
✨ Keeps your manicure looking fresh for longer

For the best results, apply morning and night and gently massage it into each nail.

Healthy nails start with good aftercare 💙

RECENT NAIL SETS (that I haven’t posted 👀😱)

I’ve got SO many sets sitting in my camera roll that never made it to the feed… but I’m equally obsessed with every single one 🤭✨

Even treated myself and did a design on my own nails (rare moment!!) 💅🏽

All sets created using BIAB + HARD BIAB, with a mix of shades from The Gel Bottle 🤍

To my lovely clients,

From 22nd May, there will be a small price increase across my services.

This increase is minimal – around the cost of your usual coffee ☕️ – but it allows me to continue giving you the quality, care and results you come to me for.

Over time I’ve invested so much into growing my skills, knowledge and qualifications, and with the rising costs of running a business, this adjustment ensures I can keep everything at the standard you deserve.

It also means I can continue bringing you the latest colours, trends and products, and keep Gloss & Glow growing in the best way possible ✨

Thank you so much for your constant support – it never goes unnoticed and I appreciate every single one of you 🤍

Any questions, just pop me a message 💌

These floral nails give me LIFE!!!!

Big brush stroke petals with gold chrome details 🌺✨

Looks like the suns out and it’s here to stay, what nail art will you be having?? 💫🎨🌞

What if I told you… you’re sitting on an extra £800+ a month? 💸

Let’s break it down:

You see 5 clients a day
⏱ Appointments: 1hr 15
💰 Charge: £40

= £200 per day
= £1000 per week
= £4000 per month

Now imagine shaving just 15 minutes off each appointment using your e-file…

That’s 1hr 15 mins saved per day → aka space for ONE extra client

💰 New daily total: £240
💰 Weekly: £1200
💰 Monthly: £4800

That’s an extra £800 a month… without working more days 👀

And if you’re selling cuticle oils, aftercare retail on top?
You’re easily pushing £5k months.

Same clients. Same hours.
Just better systems + efficiency.

This is why mastering your e-file isn’t optional… it’s a business move.

DM me “EFILE” if you’re ready to work smarter, not longer 🤍

Not ready to let go of the cosy tones just yet… 🤎🍂
Earthy hues, mixed animal prints & a touch of gold to keep things elevated ✨

Spring can wait… I’m still in my rich, moody era 🐆🐢🌿

A spring, crisp blue French 💙✨

Clean, smile lines will always hit different 😮‍💨

My top tips for the perfect French:
✨ A skinny liner brush = control is everything
✨ Use an opaque gel/gel paint (no streaky tips here)
✨ Choose a formula that glides on smoothly for that seamless, even finish

It’s all about precision + product choice 🤌🏼

“Cupid” + “Pearl” chrome = the easiest upgrade ✨

🤍💘

The chrome applies so smoothly and transforms every look, while BIAB keeps the nails natural, strong, and durable.
