New Year New Nails
It’s New Year 2017. New Year, New Nails. It’s actually July but I’ve just got round to posting. I’m gradually catching up!
Here are some nails from January.
For more up to date nails and news see my Facebook Page here and for details of Nail and Beauty Training Courses in Dorset Somerset and Wiltshire see Lorraine Connelly Beauty Training in association with Jane Bryan Beauty Training
November Dark Nights
November Nail Designs. Shades are getting darker ready for the cold dark nights but the bling is starting to appear more and more.
Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is here again! Lots of hearts and flowers on the nails. Have you any plans for tomorrow?
I’ve taken a day off as I have the house to myself so it’s going to be a play day, this time I need to get ahead so probably do some Easter themed nails, Spring nails… summer… I can’t wait!
I took part in an online course yesterday via Periscope with Dega Mosane in which she showed various One Stroke, Zhostovo and Foil techniques. That’s on the agenda tomorrow too. I have a set of lashes to do later this afternoon then no more clients til Wednesday so lots of time to get messy and get all my pretties out! Pics to follow.
I’m also working on my new site www.lcbta.co.uk which was launched last week. You will find nail and beauty training courses here which I am adding to all of the time. I’m off to Plymouth on Friday for advanced training in various techniques and skills, more details to come! I also have a new Facebook page linked to that site. Come along and have a look.
October News and a Wedding Cake
It’s been a while! I haven’t had time to post for absolutely ages but I’m now trying to catch up. I thought I could see the light at the end of the tunnel but now have 5 websites to update as they all need to be mobile and tablet friendly, not to mention Google friendly. I’ve decided to delete the Mybrowzdorset site as everything is now covered on this Mole End Design site, this will be removed over the next few days.
I’ve been working on a monster wedding cake, decorating it with onestroke techniques, full blog post to follow. The wedding is today so hopefully will have permission to post the lot! These are the paintings I submitted in order to get the job. It’s taken up a lot of my time but it was worth it… I hope!
I’ve been to Sunderland for a mini break and while there had volume eyelash extensions applied by the brilliant Deb Callaghan at Essential Beauty. She created a lovely glamorous volume set for me, I absolutely love them! I have taken about 50 pics on my phone but cannot get a decent shot! It’s on my list to practice more new techniques for the latest looks in lashes. I’m inspired! New offers coming soon for an increased lash menu. I just have to concentrate on one thing at a time!
I also managed to squeeze in another course and am now qualified in full body waxing. I had a great time on the course but wasn’t expecting to have to subject myself to another student! Ouch! Learned lots and now making plans for the future!
Spring is here – Summer is just around the corner!
The Sun is Shining!
I hope everyone had a lovely Easter and is still enjoying the warm weather. The clocks have gone forward, days are getting longer and Spring is here. Summer is just around the corner so it’s time to start thinking of your summer maintenance! Toes are soon to be in sandals, fingers will be on parade and it’s time to sort those unruly eyebrows and glam up the eyelashes.
Everyone seems to smile more when the sun is shining and it brings out everyone’s desire to start looking towards summer holidays and getting skin, hair and nails ready for warmer days and nights. It’s time for me to think of Summer offers for all treatments! Check out the newsletter for new upcoming offers – Join Here! Newsletter
Fran was really feeling Spring has sprung so asked for yellow springlike nails this time. After looking through swatches and deciding on combinations, we decided to do daisies on a Limeade base with some blue additives. It was great fun to do them after doing a load of stamping. My stamping is improving though after the masterclass from Alex last week. She really showed me some great techniques and tips.

Catching Up Time
I’m petsitting in Somerset for 2 days and I am miles from civilisation, minimal phone signal, internet is so slow I can just about access this blog. I have no Facebook or Twitter so I am actually getting things done! I had a long walk with Rocky this morning, it’s windy and freezing but it blew the cobwebs away.
I’m catching up on photos to upload, but can’t upload them so have popped them on here for now. I hope to get the first Newsletter at least drafted if not sent out while I’m here so I need to use this time wisely.
I received my WALAD (World Association Of Lash Artistry and Development) Certificate yesterday so can proudly display it on my website and blogs. Absolutely brilliant group, I’m constantly learning new eyelashing techniques
Finally – first blog of 2015!
It’s been a while since I updated the blog. Lots has been happening and I have a lot of things to catch up on.
First of all there was Christmas, I flew up to Sunderland to spend it with Dad and friends, leaving Jim at home! I arrived back in Dorset January 31st, squeezed a few clients in before travelling to Eastbourne for a few days ( a few treatments over there!) before leaving for Goa. I’d planned to update the blog from Goa but the WiFi was only in the bars so I was otherwise occupied! Holiday over now so it’s time to crack on with 2015.
I’m finally settling back in to a routine and getting the site and advertising and promotion work sorted.
Special Offers for February and March are below but future offers, will be via a newsletter which can be found here http://eepurl.com/bdJcID
Join up and be the first to hear of promotions, special offers and tips.
My home studio is just about there now. I have moved things around quite a lot and am finally getting comfortable with the layout of the nail tables and beauty couch, other furniture and storage. I’ve had great fun ordering stock and supplies and can’t wait to have a proper play with some of the new nail art items. I have been approached to teach some nail art which could be good!
I’m in the process of doing an online extra Lash Course, working through home study of new nail art and am planning on booking an advanced nail course in the very near future.
These offers are valid until March 30th 2015.
More soon as I get things organised!
