Acrylics, shellac, nail art designs french hot pink manicure with silver smiles

Slow Jo getting up the posts yesterday so here we go for SIZZLING SATURDAY (more like freeze your ass off) in The Lady Cave @ Needy Nails Taupo 💅

A warm welcome to first timer Michele. She wants to keep her naturals strong so we gave her a shellac french hot pink manicure with silver smiles. Thank you. See you next service. Apologies Sascha Ries Kruger who did a lax down with a classic french white shellac manicure with silver smiles. Just gave to say it.... Sascha's turning into one of my fave ladies 😆 cracks me up unknowingly!

The rest of the day was acrylics, shellac, nail art designs and laughs with Helen, Cassy, Sal, Jayde, Fiona and Dawn. Thank you my loyal regulars, you all absolutely rock!!!

Apologies for those that asked all week for Sunday nails... SORRY.... i think i deserve a break. To be able to offer such cray cray specials it's my hardcore dedicated nail clients that pay for specific designs, whom keep it viable. Giving is a good thing and somewhere along the line, one needs to give to oneself also... today i'm dedicating to being a lazy bitch LOL... feels great to be rugged up on the couch and mysky viewing all my crimes...

Acrylic french manicure , black and white nail art designs

Slow to post up stat this evening ladies, have been waylaid by many PMs etc, due to the loss of a beautiful life last evening. Without prolonging the obvious, i will however say this "may the faithful angels love and guide the lives of your children, family and friends that are grieving your loss Katrina Drummond. I met you once and that was enough for me to know what a beautiful Soul you were. He tohu whakamahara.... e moe, e moe, e moe 💋❤

I will forever be thankful for the beautiful ladies that cross my threshold each and every day. Thank you Larissa McCarthy, Mel, 

Heather, Marilyn, Katey and Sheryl for your patronage today and every other day prior. You all rock! A special thank you to the beautiful hearted and generous Peesh: Alesha Riria Lucy Mamaku. Brings me a big ass latte (just the way i love it, my fave muffin: raspberry and white choc with the added decadence of a luxury flake. How spoilt am I? Thank you seems so inane BUT from my heart to yours Peesh, thank you for caring enough to bring the deaf lady some yum yum treats.... love you muchly girl ❤. This is how we rolled today in The Lady Cave @ Needy Nails Taupo on this WOWZER WEDNESDAY 💋

Keeping it short and sweet, and will close this stat with a saying of my daddy's "You may only be one person in the World BUT You may also be the World to one person". Love and light people.....

Classic acrylic white french silver glitz french classic black

 it's been a wet, cold and fickle day weather wise in The Lady Cave @ Needy Nails Taupo on this MANI MONDAY!!!

Again I will say, no matter what the choice of applications are, when it comes to nail enhancements, today's clients proved why the classic acrylic white french are still the World's most popular and biggest selling nails (o;

Thanks to you all today for understanding that by not standing and accompanying you all to the door was not out of rudeness but necessity... the weather's attacking the ole joints me darlings LOL...

So today saw Maddy, Tanya, Leanne, Honore, Lisa, Kelly, Jaz and Sarah in for their acrylic tip specials, mostly in the classic french white, however there was a set turned to a silver glitz french and the other a classic black.... 

So wish this was a Sunday and I could bury my head under the covers and snuggle down with a good book but nah... can't miss out on a good chinwag with the girls LOL...

Hubby's prepping a t/bone for dinner but i think i'd rather have a bowl of pumpkin soup and some crusty bread .... so now that I've made myself hungry i'll be heading off to investigate the hapz in the kitchen before attacking the rest of today's PMs.

Wishing y'all a happy joy joy rest of the evening....

Acrylic extensions Shellac manicure French white tip Shellac topcoat neon rainbow colored striping

Yoza y'all on this MANI MONDAY in The Lady Cave @ Needy Nails Taupo 💅

Still trying to get over my wonderful week away in Aucks for my bro's 60th and The Eagles Concert. Miss my fambamz, must be getting old LOL... winding back into work and a tad crook at the mo but taking a glass of concrete everyday 😉 (more like enjoyed my time away and lazy to put my head back down to the grind).... SUCK IT UP 👍.

Sisters Amy and Julz had their wants LOCKED & LOADED! These are acrylic extensions for a little length then their Shellac manicure's... are the colors a reflection of the Season change on the way??? Next was a walk-in called Dee from Hams. She was in need of a French white index finger tip replacement LOL... she was dismayed to see the difference in product (her current nails are from Professional Chartwell Mall), they were 4 days old, seriously lifting and very yellow. I wish I could have accommodated you and did a removal and relay but as you witnessed, my time is booked, I just can't fit in unscheduled services... glad to have helped with a replacement and gloss those nails with the finishing Shellac topcoat. Enjoy Dee, catch you back next month when you pass through. Some more sister love combos with Anahera and Rangimarie looking hot hot hot sporting their extensions and Shellac manicure's... Annalyse rounded my day off with a set of French white acrylics with embedded floral fimo canes encumbered by Shellac neon rainbow colored striping... multi mixed like a marble effect and so so gorgeous up close... enjoy before work demands you have to be clear coated and boring again LOL 😆Looking fab ladies, thank you all very much 💟.

French white manicure/pedicure

Hi de hi, ho de ho y'all on this MANI MONDAY in The Lady Cave @ Needy Nails Taupo 

Well....where do we start LOL... 

Hope everyone had an awesome long weekend due to Waitangi Day. I did indeed lap-it-up and have a long weekend of lax and laziness. Nothing as gorgeous as being home in The North in The Hokianga, just a shame couldn't go back to celebrate....frightened might not come back to Taupo!!!

Saturday was an unscheduled emergency for Adele, her Maid of Honor and her Bridesmaid. Glad to have been here and able to help. Very unfortunate to have been letdown at the last minute but so so happy the smiles returned to your dials. Thanks for the pics and cheers girls, catch y'all up in 3 weeks.

Lil sister Mrs Trudy Chapman of Hot Tips Nelson has been baking her little patootie off the last few weeks and here's some of her little creations - stunning sister. I just love them. If i had to choose a fave atm i would say the 'bikini bod' and no need to wonder ole Mr Karl loved the chainsaw .

Did a couple of services this morn (a manicure/pedicure) before i had to head off for more bloods grrrhhhh... home in 25 mins to carry on with my nail day. Jan was my 1st victim after the needle LOL...so happy you are finally healing my friend won't be long before you can eliminate that bag as the weakest link. First bourbon on you when that happens. Set that damn hog up so we can slap our arses and jump them kegs hehehe... always love our time together my friend xx

Happy Holiday Megan (lucky you and the little famz off for an annual NOT AN ANAL) - you're getting to be one of my fave ladies. Thank you for those silver wipes...so easy, fast and super shiny ...

Another great day ladies. Thank you for your pics as usual my lovelies: June with her French white manicure/pedicure and certainly won't be the last now i bet. Faye, Sini and Macey, you all Rock The Show BOOM!!!

Shellac manicure simple natural nails

It was a cruisey day for nothing but Shellac on this MANICURE MONDAY in The Lady Cave @ Needy Nails Taupo .

A big hearty welcome to Jahna, Kylie , Lucy and Amy. Although Joy has been to The Lady Cave prior, this is her first time as a nail client. Lovely to meet and provide you all a service...glad yous got in on this wicked special for today only!There is no greater eutopia than having a large number of regular clients that keep the clock ticking over day in and day out. Without the likes of today's ladies: Annalyse, Naumai, Becca, Rachael, Rachel, Dana, Leanne, Sopia and Helene', this would be a very lonely Cave. Thank you so much ladies ♤☆. Crack up, so much for 12 clients,there were 14 .Apologies to those that couldn't get a booking for today. It really is FIFS for any special, regular client or not. Everyone gets a fair and equal chance to try what's up for grabs. Some of the PMs that i woke up to demanding i carry this special on for a week or the whole of the month were so absurd, i actually LMAO and didn't delete yous from my friend's list. I ponder over many requests made for a certain type of special. I know that NO ONE running this type of business listens, considers or even adheres to the prices of any of these requests, but i get sorry for the genuine ones that would really love a try but a service far exceeds their budget. Spare a thought for what such a request costs me in more than the monetary form. I give more than i should because i care... I am just very lucky I have a husband whom just shakes his head in disbelief but never says a negative word when i say bugger it, okay i'll let yous have the bottom base bargain again, knowing our pockets will take the hit to put a smile on your dial... in the words of my daddy "sometimes you gotta give a little to receive something in return". Food for thought 😦.It's homemade pork dumplings for dindins tonight so this girl is clocking out....

Acrylic Shellac manicure polish natural nail

It was a WOW day this WEDNESDAY in The Lady Cave @ Needy Nails Taupo!

Dialed up the heat where some clients stepped out of their 'norm' lol... won't mention how or in what way but I'm happy to report everyone loved their finished service - thanks ladies 

Have to mention how gorgeous Larissa looked with 5 weeks to go before bubs arrives and her top was vintage roses...beautiful. We decided rather than Larissa wear acrylics during this 'milky time' to followed through with a Shellac manicure instead to keep those nails strong to promote their growth.

Nessa and Jodi both choose acrylic fingers and toes followed by Shellac polish...pics so don't do them justice!

Dawn and Torin went with my suggestion to also promote their nail growth by just staying with natural nail Shellac manicure's.... they look super cute and 'tis the Season' to grow fast so won't be long before you ladies have some serious length 

So cruised my day cos I even got to sit down at the DINING table and eat my lunch....thanks my honey 

As per the usual, tomorrow is a continuation of the same agenda...full on nail services each and every available day!
