Did a lovely GEL/LED manicure for the lovely Annalyse Therése Enright; nice, simple, clean and classic so her nails can grow some natural length while she works... a very busy young lady using those hands as real tools. Lovely to see you again sweetheart and take care of yourself. See you in a couple of weeks.

Acrylic sculpts LED polish glitz pearls stones and acrylic sculpted flowers acrylic sculpts LED polish animal print feats acrylic sculpts LED polish animal print acrylic sculpts LED polish manicure and glitz acrylic sculpts silver glitz French acrylic sculpts glitz sequins and mylar for paua shell effect

SHOWSTOPPER SUNDAY!

Today was all acrylic sculpts with simple Gelish/LED polish manicure and designs, or Frenchies in silver and 'paua shell effect' in blues... animal prints are always a favorite and where would we be without some glitz...
A truly wonderful week of awesome ladies, applications and happenings...
A couple of doozie designs lined up for tomorrow so keep an eye out for that!
NOTE: I don't think I'll be putting up anymore specials for awhile ladies. Trying to give yous what you want at the prices you want whilst jiggling the bookings to allow it, has lead to this final decision. There are more than enough specials to cater to anyone's needs and if you miss it then the normal prices are still a gift. For all the regulars and those that do a repeat service, your Rewards Card saves you some more serious $$$$. Thanks for all your PM's but truly, the prices are unbelievably unmatched as they stand and with the top quality products at hand, it's an insult to be submitting to a few of the requests LOL.... Just Saying!
It's homemade pork dumplings for din dinz tonight and perhaps a coconut creme brulee' to top it off (o;
Have an awesome rest of the day y'all and catch y'all back in the A.M

GOOD MORNING Y'ALL ON THIS HOT AND 'TRIPPY TUESDAY' (o;

A dull as start to the day weather wise but OMG as per the usual it's a slow creeper day and you bet your bottom $$ all the kiddies be heading to the lake after school.

HOUSEKEEPING: hmmmm this is more difficult than I thought to put up specials for the month... due to my low costs anyway, I am trying to consider everyone's feedback via the PM's...
WILL HAVE IT SORTED BY THE END OF THE WORKING WEEK SO WATCH FOR IT LADIES!!!

Having me an early lunch break cos I've been a good working girl and got through my first 4 clients at a good pace whilst still laughing and babbling... my creamy pasta/crab salad Humpty made last night is so delish...

First off the taxi rank this morn was another shift worker client... Candice (Candy): she loves the colour RED and cos this is Valentino Month what a better way to celebrate it than with a set of red acrylics, reflector glitz nail art (these little buggers take time to place) LOL and clear crystal feats topped with the Needy Nails Gel Topcoat for that super lacquered shine.
You left your Rewards Card behind babe... I'll pop it in my mailbox and you can nab it in your own good time... see you in 3 weeks (o;

Next was Waimarie: she's getting married tomorrow and she booked before Xmas. She wanted something subtle but wedding(ish) with a sparkle...
This is a full set of the Classic Pink & White Acrylic Sculpts; custom gel mix of white/silver glitz applied in a haze with silver sequin glitz for random feats... this is about as subtle and classic as a set of acrylics can be yet still appear wedding(ish) with the required sparkle...
Congrats doll - all the best for your special day tomorrow and I will see you after your honeymoon next month xx

Next in was the lovely Jan-marie Quinn from Bailey Quinn Hair Salon. Another great catch up with the busy lady... today we did her acrylic backfill and a lovely white Gelish overlay sparkle before the gel topcoat; a little glam to the busy lady's nails as most hairdressers will know, gems and embellishments are a hindrance to hands that are always in products and working with people's hair, so this was a nice little 'feel good' element.
I have PM'd you your next booking as requested doll for 3 weeks so let me know if this day works for you - see you then (o;

To top off my morning session, in bowled the vivacious Olivia (Viv): today was her acrylic backfill followed by a LED polish design. As a lover of animal print and wanting to celebrate the Month of Love, I created this design for her in red-a-kill, vanilla creme brulee' and the ever present abyss black... red is for love; leopard print as her favourite print and vanilla creme brulee' heart swirls as a nod toward her 'man of interest'. So pleased you love them Liv was a bit worried cos throughout the design you didn't speak BUT when it was done and you said you were holding your breath because you were awestruck... glad to have zipped your gob for a 1/2 hour buddy hehehheee (o; see you next month xxx
