February

Catching up on February! I did a Hard Gel Conversion course this month with Francesca Gomm of F.G. Studio and Academy in Plymouth and brushed up on E-filing, One stroke  painting,  and had a real Nail Play Weekend. Lots of glitters and pigments, paints,  swapped ideas and had a few treatments. Have to mention the Boob Buster, a fab treatment and I can’t believe that it worked. Its so good I’m doing the course next month! Read more here

Nail Art, Glitter and Stamping

Nail Art, Glitter and Stamping. Nails that I haven’t posted on the blog yet. I’m still deciding what pictures to include in the site’s Gallery. Meanwhile, the blog is as good a place as any to post. Clients are feeling Autumn coming on, colours are getting darker, though glitter is still very popular. Click on the pics to enlarge.

These pastel nails were a last minute design. Transparent foils over various pastel gel polish. Colours chosen by the client. The Peach nails were mine, gel polish over acrylic infil. I painted and stamped them for my London trip to finish off the cake. I knew I had a lot of gold to paint and thought this would disguise any splatters. I hated these nails, they lasted 1 week and were filed off! I don’t like peach!

This is Ink London i79. It is a stunning colour, a real inky blue with red tones to it. Really popular that week, I used it 4 times on various clients. Definitely on the re-order list.

2015 is up and running!

I’m getting back on track now jet lag is gone! Luckily there’s been a lot of stamping since my holiday as I came back with  jet lag and a cold and I just haven’t been able to get warm. Dorset in January is very different from India…

dinmontThe main website is coming along now, I still have writer’s block wondering what to put on each page. I’ve done it all before and it’s hard starting it over again without using the same phrases. I’m petsitting with my Pawsindoors head on at the moment and taking the dogs home to do nail and lash appointments.


sharpies brows

swatch-maabrI bought a pack of sharpies to have a play with, there are some interesting effects with these. There are a lot of lovely images on Facebook, they give a beautiful marble effect. NOT to be used on eyebrows!  I’ve had a play but I’m away from my kit so cant wait to get back properly on Friday!

 


 

These are just some of the Nails and Lashes done so far.  Stamping has been really popular as a quick and simple way of producing stunning effects. Big thanks to Alexandra Woodward for all of her guidance.
