Clean nails application specials Make-Up Artist Lady Cave

Hi y'all (o;
Sorry but didn't get the chance to put up a stat yesterday arvo to say Needy Nails Taupo and Jesse Gee Make-Up Artist are fully booked for the specials on Wed Oct 29th. There are very few bookings left for the next 2 following weeks Nov 5th (Guy Fawkes Day) and Nov 12th.
All those that booked will be contacted the day before to reaffirm your booking and if you don't know where we are you will be given the addy deets via PM then, once you've confirmed your booking solid.
Very sorry if you've not been able to secure a booking but it really is FIFS! If you have a legit reason for canceling by any chance then all good but if it's lame then you won't get a future booking as those that were wanting to get in have missed out - Sorry 'bout it - Just Saying!
APOLOGIES if Jesse Gee or I have not replied back to you it will be for only 2 reasons (a) stupid Facebook hides notifications or (b) a spot couldn't be secured for you and we are trying to answer you in due course...there are dozens and dozens of PM's to get through and when working we can only check PM's between clients if we're lucky, therefore, please accept our apologies (o; Also note this is Labour Weekend and I too, like everyone else, has a life outside of The Lady Cave...I very very rarely ever get to entertain family or friends so again, sincere apologies ladies (o;
NOTE: It is imperative you arrive on time or even 5-10 mins early for your application as the specials are timed specifically to cater to clean nails (no polish etc)... you will be turned away if you have not adhered to the rules. Tough I know but that's the way it has to be; can't be mucked around when others are wanting in on these super specials.

We are respectful of your requirements, please accord the same respect as at the end of the day, this is my home first and foremost and I don't take kindly to it being disregarded as unimportant!
Erana (Needy Nails Taupo) and Jesse (Jesse Gee Make-Up Artist) mwaah x0x

How to apply 3D FIBER-LASH MASCARA APPLICATION

How to apply 3D FIBER-LASH MASCARA APPLICATION!

FYI: The 3D fiber-lash mascara is in 3 steps.
There are 2 hard cased tubes in the lovely leopard print design with matching holder case.
STEP 1: Apply the transformer gel first (the long tube).
Pump the brush a couple of times to work the gel onto the bristles.
Starting from the middle of your lashes (not at the lash line closest to the eyelid), apply the gel.
STEP 2: Pump the fiber-lash tube (the short tube) and apply to the lashes in the same manner as the transformer gel.
Before applying the fiber, pat/smooth the wand with your fingers to make the fibers adhere as the gel will pull the fibers from the wand as you applied.
STEP 3: Complete your application by finishing with the transformer gel.

NOTE: For longer and thicker lashes you can do more layers till you gain the look you want.
To remove I personally use a baby-wipe (I find home brand wipes are excellent and smell nice as well); fold over lashes and gentle squish the lashes between the wipe so the mascara adheres and wipes away clean.
DO NOT RUB AS YOU ARE LIABLE TO PULL YOUR NATURAL LASHES FROM THEIR SOCKET.
