✨ “Inspiration is all around you. Open your nail eyes.” 👁️✨
Creativity doesn’t just happen in the salon or at a competition table — it’s everywhere, if you know how to look for it. A crack in the pavement, the petals on a flower, the colours in a sunset, textures on a building wall… it’s all raw material for your next design.
This video is a little look back at some of my creations over the years — from competition pieces, to workshops I’ve done, to the quiet moments just sat at my desk letting an idea take over. Most things started with something you noticed in the world around you.
So next time you’re stuck for inspiration, stop scrolling Pinterest for a second and just… look up. It’s there. 👀💅

Day 5… and that’s a wrap! ✨
The final day at Nail Mansion started with an introduction to airbrushing, learning everything from setting it up and controlling the airflow to cleaning and maintaining it correctly. We worked through practice exercises to develop control before moving on to creating our own airbrushed designs.
In the afternoon, we put those new skills into practice before returning to the avant-garde needlepoint stiletto we built earlier in the week. Unfortunately, I didn’t quite finish decorating mine before time was up, but I managed to complete the colour blend and add the start of a lace effect. I’ll be finishing the rest at home, and I can’t wait to see the final result.
What an incredible week it’s been. I’ve learnt so many new techniques, stepped outside my comfort zone, met some truly inspiring educators, and made memories that I’ll treasure. Every tutor was so generous with their knowledge, and we were looked after from start to finish—it really was a special experience.
A huge thank you to everyone involved in making Nail Mansion such an unforgettable week. I loved every minute of it, and I’m already looking forward to doing it all again next year! ❤️
Day 4 at Nail Mansion 🎨✨
Today’s class was with the incredibly talented Rose , and what an inspiring day it was!
Portrait and character painting has never been my strongest area, so I was really looking forward to learning from someone whose work I absolutely admire. Nixxi has such a brilliant way of teaching. She didn’t just show us what to do—she explained why. From where to place shadows to how shading creates depth and brings a character to life, those little tips made such a big difference and really helped everything click into place.
By the end of the day, I was genuinely surprised with what I’d created. It’s probably one of the best character/portrait I’m most proud of and definitely pleased with the result. It just goes to show how much difference a great educator can make.
It was an absolute pleasure to meet Nixxi, and I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on her tutorials to continue learning. Another fantastic day at Nail Mansion, leaving with more confidence and plenty of inspiration. ❤️
