A few from March

I’m now only 4 months behind! Here are a few from March.

These nails were created after Cath’s husband sent a pic of what they’d like on her nails. Cath has The Gel Bottle Builder in a Bottle on her natural nails. These nails were created with Black Gel polish, Gold pigment, gold glitter and hand painted clock faces.

These nails are gel polish over natural nails. Using Ink London’s Blood Diamond for the main manicure, I added chunky and fine glitter in Champagne gold o the ring and index fingers and added 3d detail to the red nails with gold 3d gel.

It’s Officially Summer – Get Your Toes out!

Summer Toes

Pastel Gel Polish on toes with diamantes

We’ve had the longest day, things get shorter from here. Even with all this wet weather you can still have some bling and pretties on your toes! Mine are covered in little crystals to cheer up the cold days. I’m sat here with boots on as my feet are freezing but my toes look fab! Cat Eye Effect has been popular on toes this month but the favourite has been the pastel toes on Carley in the picture on the right. I rebuilt her big toenails as she had dropped a cast iron pan on her foot last year and it’s still growing out!

Time’s been short this month, lots of nails, lashes, brows, toes and threading. Monday is day 5 of Holly’s Gorgeous Nails UK Signature Acrylic Course. She’s doing really well and I have no doubt she will be a great Acrylic Nail Technician. More courses will be coming soon. I’m off on an Educators’ Course later in July so I hope to be bringing fresh skills back to Dorset! For more info email me.

I’ve been playing with 3d acrylic and 3d gel lacework. My favourites are the daisies. Still need lots of practice but it’s lovely to play. It’s always hard to find the time, but I love putting on Netflix and grabbing a glass of wine and having a go! More glitters and sparkly things have arrived and I have loads of ideas, just need to knuckle down and get on with it!

Introducing Ink London

INTRODUCING INK LONDON!

INK London has arrived and I couldn’t be more excited about it! I have been using Ink London products for over 6 months and I cannot fault it – long lasting results, excellent range of colours, quality of products and first class customer service.
