White tip frenchies and red tiger stripe feats shellac manicure, silver feats and 3D leopard design acrylic extensions

Thank you lovely ladies, regular and new... it's been a cracker day in The Lady Cave @ Needy Nails Taupo 💅

A warm welcome to a lovely new clients (OMG K Herewini Dub what's sissy's name again LOL): white tip frenchies and red tiger stripe feats. Rosalie (pic5): shellac manicure, custom silver feats and 3D leopard design. Longtime since did Lindsay's nails (pic7): acrylic extensions + shellac neon coral and metallic gold and black nail art with crystals. KHD (pic3) chose white tip frenchies + holo gold leopard print feats. Mad loves for my ever faithful Abs, just like Peesh, supporting my choccy yummo goodie fixation... this was an acrylic removal, took all the length back down cos she grows so fast and into a beautiful shellac red/pink and chrome silver with big holo hex glitz feats BAMM! Lovely Lucy sports a silk overlay for strength followed by a shellac ombre manicure with design. Antonia had a silk nail overlay as well also followed with this super cute shellac manicure, pink, french sparkle and grey. Jessie had a shellac manicure with cute dots, stripes, feathers and color. Last but not least was Suze with her pink & white french with metallic silver feats and pretty shellac hearts. 

I've had a lot of people ringing my phone for bookings. PLEASE READ before you dial. Text only, and realize if i don't get time between clients, you won't get a reply till the end of my working day. I will never answer the call. Thank you to those clients whom offer to answer for me if my hubby's unavailable. Your kindness is appreciated but it's unnecessary thanks...those that know me, know you don't call my phone - THE END 😆.

Another booked out week and ladies, please, the only way to avoid disappointment and secure your booking is in advance or get on the Shortlist so if any cancellations occur on your day or time of preference, i can notify you.

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...

Shellac, acrylic, nail art, foils matte black lady swagg

Splash in The Lady Cave @ Needy Nails Taupo on this WOWZER WEDNESDAY 

Got a tad heedy this afternoon when i bumped a litre cannister of lavender oil of the shelf...SPLASH. The lid went one way, the oil pooled into the carpet and stupid me tried to scrub oil out...duuuhhh...rather than towel blot then sprinkle with baking soda (as i was taught to do) oh no, i had to do a freak out and be left with a big wet patch that looks like the kitty litter just got picked up...a plausible story except i don't own a cat LOL... thanks for sharing the laughs ladies (and hurry up and dry up please carpets)...at least the room smells yummy, even if a little overpowering with the window closed 😕...

Thanks to Fran, Helen, Mel, Deb, Suzy and Olive. A day of Shellac, acrylic, nail art, foils and some fab 'lady swagg'. In this case lets let the pics speak for themselves in terms of the application. Apologies for the defaced, blurry pics. I can only put them up how you send them to me ...

On the dot early in the AM so until the next 24 hrs hope y'all enjoy the rest of your evening

Butterfly sculpt hard UV/Led gel

No flies on this girl today...cranked it out staccato in The Lady Cave @ Needy Nails Taupo on this sunny TIPS ON TUESDAY 

Well it was a day of double bookings and the ladies came-a-calling kind of like Noah's Ark????....2 by 2 LOL... only one solo in the form of Megan, back from holiday down in Invercargill. Boyyyy did she have some munted digits so on with the butterfly forms to sculpt some hard UV/led gel extensions then a marbling design in 3 shades of purple (and they would definitely attract Christian Gray) hehehe.., French style swagg and tapping in mylar foil silver and purple hug hlight feats...these are totally gorgeous....just for Megan. Besties Jen and Holly were first in: acrylic tip extensions then the trusty Shellac. Dayla and Fee had acrylic tip extensions, Shellac and foil feats to pop those nails BOOM! Rounding my day off nicely were the irrepressible Anja and Simone flying high with their Shellac manicure designs on their natural nails. More ladies making good choices to change those nail biting habits. WOMEN POWER... thank you ladies for a fantastic day.

A lot of PMs, correspondence and emails to get through tonight and in amongst the midst i need some food sustenance LOL... so without further ado, catch y'all back within the next 24 hrs and may you all have the most meke as evening mwaah

Gel polishes metallic chrome silver customizing colors

The News @ 6 whilst loading my pics and post is what I'm about on this WOWZER WEDNESDAY in The Lady Cave @Needy Nails Taupo .

Lots of good news shared amongst clients Gemma, Hilde, Maata, Jude, Thyne, Rose and Kim . Without name dropping LOL, 2 of today's ladies will be celebrating wedding nuptials later in the year YAY! Congrats you deserved gals, can't wait to design your nail needs .

One word: EXTENSIONS! This really is getting so popular as everyone is loving the idea of some added length to enjoy a new nail shape or nail strength to highlight their choice of a pretty color polish. I have to confess that my usage of glitter has dropped vastly with the large range of gel polishes at hand for selection. The metallic are super popular especially the chrome silver or the scope of customizing colors by layering with Shellac....the options are limitless and anything is achievable when consulting beforehand to see what suits your wants and the utmost nail health integrity is paramount. Roll on Nail Divas .

I am finding more and more ladies are enjoying the savings of extra $$$$ in their budget that allows for an extra color or some nail art by buying their Magic Removal Kits and maintaining their nails between services. Just buy more removal wraps, files and cuticle oil when needing to top up and you can't go wrong. Awesome job maintaining ladies .

Sorry to come off as though I'm stalling yous on the PM for weekend applications. I am still undecided whether i will be here in town or away for a couple of nights....will write a post Friday once i'm certain.

Wishing y'all an awesome rest of the evening and catch y'all back in the AM/PM 💕

PS: My stilettos grew so long i cut them back and Maata arrived as i was top coating my Shellac purple and chrome silver manicure....am loving the simplistic color combo

Polish, gel polish, Shellac, gel or acrylic

MAGIC REMOVAL KITS - How To Use
Step 1: use starter file Needy Nails 100/150 grit to gently buff the shine off the nail (break the seal on the gel so the remover can penetrate).
Step 2: tear open the remover wrap along the perforated line - peel off the plastic tab to uncover the sticky strip.

Step 3: insert finger/toe and fold firmly around nail to fit - be sure to stick the folds to the side with the sticky strip to hold wrap in place.
Step 4: after sufficient time for removal (pending on what you're removing; polish, gel polish, Shellac, gel or acrylic) time varies 3-15 minutes - twist off wrap.

Step 5: use orange wood stick or contour file (grey wolf) to remove any remaining product.
Complete natural manicure/pedicure - push back cuticles, buff the nail with sponge buffer, cleanse the nails then massage in cuticle oil.
NOTE: You can re wrap your finger/toe if you want to extend your soak off time ...

LED Shellac base coat top coat red white and black polishes

Evening y'all ...had my dinner and happy much LOL .

This is how it all rolled in The Lady Cave @ Needy Nails Taupo on this WOWZER WEDNESDAY .

Welcome to first timers Chris Morgan , Cheri Trethowen and Hazel Philips. A huge pleasure having you gorgeous ladies come have a nail service. Your patronage is very much appreciated.

Every day there is always a couple of clients that have an inkling of color but not style or vice versa...today was no different. Collaborating thoughts, wants and vision is magic and nothing beats the sight of a very happy client. Thank you all so much.

As per the usual, we're keeping the info short and sweet whereby you can comment or inquire via the PM should you be interested in a particular application due to a pic. Bring it ladies 😇.

I really have to thank all you lovelies that are buying the Removal Kits and the Love Alpha 3D fibrelash extension mascara sets. They sell so fast and their popularity is gold. Thank you all.

I have been asked if I would consider selling my training gel manicure sets publicly. The set includes compact 9w LED lamp, Shellac base coat, top coat, red, white and black polishes; nail files, buffers, pusher, cuticle remover, cuticle oil and remover wraps. 

Although there is definitely money to be made, I stay loyal to the art of paying students via the nail academy, also staying conscious of the fact that this also takes away from other salons providing a pro service to be under minded by homekits. I'm sorry ladies. For some ladies, providing a nail service is what pays their bills, educates their kids and puts food on their tables. I am fortunate to not be governed by the need to rely on a living from nail services, therefore, I am bound by honour to decline. Perhaps in the near future this may be a reality ladies but not at the moment. Much respect for your inquiries ....

PMs are screaming to be answered, so without further ado,

Sheryl, Lisa and Faye cranked it with their acrylic extensions followed with Shellac manicure's and crystal feats - LOVE IT LADIES 

I'm chef tonight so lazy simple i think my honey lol... big fat new York rump burgers with hollandaise mushrooms and BLT fillings should do the trick if you're lucky i might even make you an old fashioned lime milkshake with a big fat scoop of vanilla ice cream on the top, just the way you like it - YEH BOII teased myself into being hungus now hehehe...

Have an awesome rest of the evening y'all...catch y'all back in the AM mwah x0x

Cracking up at my moko Kalo with her acrylic almoletto sculpts lol... what she had booked for was a black pool Shellac manicure after her sculpts followed by a matching pedicure LOL... not even! Proof again that what may be planned may not be what's produced. What's the saying...changing ones mind is a woman's prerogative???? That's what happened... I ended up sculpting crystal nails with a gold French haze in VIP Gold Status with a big gold dot smiley lines and feats... absolutely gorgeous, with your matching gold pedicure. Enjoyed my time with you and Nanny still feeds her babies.... i whipped up a dough for some Moroccan flat breads filled with ham, salad, cheese and spicy mayo... sorry you couldn't eat 2 for lunch....they were rather big aye, hence why 1 topped me off LOL... love you my girl xxx

Onto it tonight... just emails and PMs to get through now and I might see my bed this side of midnight hehehe...
