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!

Acrylics, gels, LED or Gel polish manicure/pedicures. NO ONE CAN MATCH, BEAT OR MAINTAIN THE PRICES I OFFER FOR THESE #1 GLOBAL PRODUCTS

LADIES - to avoid disappointment, it is imperative that for elaborate designs or for personal nail art, you book at least a week or two in advance. I am getting numerous PM's asking for bookings for this week or next... near impossible without someone canceling. I am sorry if I have to say I cannot accord you a service. I have very loyal regulars that book either straight after service or services up to 3mths in advance, some have even booked out their regular days up to Xmas...
I am suggesting that if you want to maintain a vacant spot, then either book ahead or maintain a regular service and work from there.
So many ladies have asked for designs but there are no time-frames that allow for their applications, only vacancies for a straight forward application of acrylic or LED polish manicure/pedicure.
Bear in mind there is the implementation of the REWARDS CARD.
Pay for 3 full applications within 3mths and only pay $10 for your 4th application. Not only is this a 'Super Saver' this is a way for you to afford a high level of regular maintenance.
NO ONE CAN MATCH, BEAT OR MAINTAIN THE PRICES I OFFER FOR THESE #1 GLOBAL PRODUCTS.
Every month there will be a 'Super Saver Special' and I mean SUPER SAVER! There is really something that caters to everyone's needs whether it's acrylics, gels, LED or Gel polish manicure/pedicures!!! — feeling irritated.
