With all the hand washing drying out our hands I’ve had a couple of messages asking about the hand cream that I use on some of you which is my magic “10 years younger” potion. It’s from an organic beauty shop that I order a lot of my skincare products from. The link for the skin softener is here and they have a 20% off first orders offer on at the moment too 👍🏼💅🏼

Nails can be great places for bacteria to hide, even if you’re washing your hands regularly, if your nails are too long it can be hard to make sure you’re getting all those germs out of there. Latest government advice is that nails should be kept short.

A good guideline is to press your fingertips into your palm, if all you can feel is nail and no fingertip then they’re a bit too long and could be harbouring bacteria so give them them a little file down or even a little trim.

Can’t wait to see you all soon.

Some of my lovely ladies must be starting to get some serious regrowth by now. Lots of you were really starting to get some great natural length by having the hard gel overlay service, we don’t want to lose that so here is my best advice.

- Leave the gel on as long as you can stand it, they will be stronger with the gel on. Just file and reshape the tips as needed.

- If you really can’t stand the regrowth you can remove the gel with acetone, it takes a while but it needs to be done properly. If you are not sure how PM me for my step by step instructions.

- Whatever you do don’t be tempted to pick the gel off, it will seriously weaken your nails and damage the condition.

- Keep using that cuticle oil as often as you can, particularly as we are all washing our hands much more frequently. Also use a good hand cream every night before you go to sleep.

I hope that is useful and I can’t wait to get my hands on all your nails again as soon as I can.

Stay safe and stay home

Hello all. In light of the ongoing and escalating situation with Covid-19 I have taken the difficult decision to postpone all appointments until further notice. I hope you understand that I work from home and have to minimise social contact for my family during this period of self isolation. I can’t wait to see you all again soon 💅🏼❤️💅🏼❤️💅🏼

Due a change in personal circumstances I have changed my opening hours to evenings and weekends only. I’ll still love seeing you all and getting those nails in perfect condition and looking on point and i’m available any evening and all weekend to suit. I hope you all understand and will stick with me 💅🏼❤️💅🏼❤️💅🏼❤️💅🏼

I love a purple and pink colour combo, this one has glitter ombré on the accents 😍😍😍.

Little bit of ombré and sparkle just finished this n**e pink set off beautifully, perfect for a day out with the girls ❤️💅🏼❤️💅🏼❤️💅🏼❤️💅🏼

As a nail tech I often experiment on my own nails with different lengths and shapes so I can make knowledgeable recommendations to my clients about which style nails will work best for them. It’s amazing what a difference your nail shape and length can make to the overall look of your hands. These shorter, rounded nails are working really well for me, a nice natural shape with enough length to give an elegant look but still be practical, the perfect nails for a busy mum who needs nails that are hardcore whilst still looking on point 💅🏼🔥💅🏼🔥💅🏼🔥
