Ginger Harmony

I have made the difficult decision to step back from Ginger Harmony while I finish my degree. The reality is that the overheads associated with being self employed are outweighing the income I can make, given that I've had to drastically reduce my hours in order to juggle a full time midwifery degree, full time placement hours, commuting to and from Leicester most days, assignments, exams, motherhood, and running a home.

I've loved my 5 years at and am forever indebted to Jenni and Lisa for their friendship and support from day 1. I'm grateful to every single person who's chosen to come to me for treatments too; for the conversations, the laughs, the tears, the coffees, and the encouragement that so many of you gorgeous people have given me as I've embarked on this huge journey towards becoming a midwife 💚

Martha wanted Thanos nails for our holiday, but the only chance we had to do them was 8pm the night before a 3:30am start, so they were the speediest set I've ever done!

I've been so busy student midwife-ing this past 10 months that the nail tech-ing has massively taken a back seat. It's lovely when I do get the chance to sit with my wonderful clients in between the assignments and placement chaos, for some much-needed catch ups while I prettify their nails 🥰

Obviously this little business of mine is barely a side hustle any more, but I love that I have some clients who have been able to still come to me despite the inconsistency of my schedule!

It's 'take your kids to work' day 🤣 I am so lucky that these two understand the juggle I have, trying to do a full time degree with 12.5 hour placement shifts, and having to work part time because student finance isn't enough to live on.

Also fortunate to have wonderful clients who know that my chaos includes random working hours and sometimes the presence of these two, and still choose to come to me!

Little treats to help with self care - these are going into a Student Midwife Care Package as a prize for my MidSoc giveaway, but you can buy any of these products from me - just message me for details.

I've opened up a few dates in February for appointments. I'll still be on placement 37.5 hours per week in Feb, as well as having an assignment to finish and of course spending as much time as possible with my children. I'm trying not to take on too much, but I can't afford not to work, so if you want to book then now's your chance!
💚
I'll have some March availability too, but I've not been organised enough to figure that out yet 🤣

My last couple of clients for the year ❄️🎄☃️🦌
💚
I'll be opening up a few January and February appointments as I get my placement rotas, so keep your eyes peeled. If you've already asked for an appointment then I do have your names on a list and will contact you with first refusal before appointments go public.

Thank you to all my gorgeous clients and the ladies for being amazing, and for supporting me as I entered my new student midwife era 🥰

I didn't know what I fancied for my own festive nails, but as soon as I started applying Spectrolite, I knew I'd made the right decision!

I'm loving uni, I'm definitely doing the right thing, but my goodness it's going to feel odd not inhaling glitter and getting RSI from hand painting gonks and snowflakes this week!
💚
I'm working today and tomorrow, with this being the first set of the week - a gorgeous metallic teal, swirls, stars, and some fun stamps on the thumbs ☃️🦌

My 8-year-old is my first festive client ❄️
💚
I don't do cuticle work on children's delicate little fingers and nails, so this is simply a cleanse, base coat, colour x 2, stamps, top coat (all varnish, not gel).
💚
I'm fully booked now for gels, but I could squeeze some teeny nails in on Friday 20th at 2pm or Monday 23rd at 9:30 and 11:30. Under 12s are £6 for colour(s), then stamps like these snowflakes would be 50p per nail.
