Amber & Stone Beauty Boutique

One of my favourite things about nail design is that the smallest details can have the biggest impact.

This colourful French set is proof that a simple design can still feel fun, fresh and completely unique 🌸✨

Would you wear something like this?

Most people see the finished results…

But there’s so much more happening in my head during your appointment.

Every set I create starts with assessing your natural nails properly. Not rushing in with a one-size-fits-all routine.

Because no two clients are the same.

Your nails, your lifestyle, your habits, your job… all of that matters when I’m working on your set.

I’m constantly adjusting, checking, and making decisions based on you. Not just steps on a checklist.

It’s slow, intentional work, because it needs to be.

And honestly..? I wouldn’t want to do it any other way.

If you’ve ever wondered what’s going on in my head during a nail appointment, here’s a little sneak peak 🤎

A little colourful comeback 🌸

I’ve been quiet on here for a while.

Truthfully, I have struggled for a while to show up on here.

I’ve spent a lot of time questioning where I fit within this industry. The constant pressure to keep up, create more, post more and be more visible can sometimes feel a long way from why I started doing nails in the first place.

The industry is so loud at the moment, and in lots of ways very toxic. Far from what I like to involve myself with.

For me, it’s never been about chasing trends. I’m not the kind of person to try and be louder than the next person, or screw over others to get ahead either.

For me it’s always been about my clients and the relationships I get to build with them. Creating beautiful nails that are focused around high quality techniques; keeping nail health a priority. Having a calm, safe space for my clients to feel at home and be their true self.

So rather than trying to fit into the noise, I’m choosing to come back to myself.

You’ll see more of the work I love, more education, more behind-the scenes business life, and a little less perfection.

Starting with these tiny hand-painted flowers.

If you’ve stuck around while I’ve been quiet, thank you 🤍

That’s a wrap on 2025..! 🎄✨

It’s been an absolute whirlwind these last few weeks (hence the radio silence 🙈), so I’m only just getting round to posting some of my fave sets from the season. Be prepared for some festive spam 🤣

Thank you so much, to everyone who has supported Amber & Stone in some way this year, but ESPECIALLY to all of my clients who have stayed consistent, supportive and genuine in their love for me and my business ♥️

I am so grateful to those who have always showed such incredible support 🥹🥰 Without people like you, small businesses like mine just wouldn’t be able to exist.

Also a huge thank you to every message, card, tip and gift that my amazing clients have given me over these last few weeks 🥺♥️ you guys are just too sweet!

Sending you all lots of love and the most wonderful Christmas with loved ones! And to those who find this time of year really difficult, I am sending you the biggest squeeze ❤️‍🩹

Lots of love,
Kaylie
