Acrylic extensions; LED polish design with water decal bows for feats & Gold Fortune custom polish manicure and pedicure

Sorry June, client got here on the ball so I didn't get to load your pic before her service. Looking gorgeous my friend, catch you up in the New Year xx

It was a pleasure to do a service for Aunty June (a last minute request for a lovely lady) Merenea TekiriweraAria Hurae. It was wonderful chatting, laughing and doing a LED polish service for your Aunty June. She went for my 'new in' Gold Fortune gel polish. Trust me ladies, there is nothing like this gold; it is bold, bright and it reflects in ways you have never ever seen... it is quite literally 'Pure Gold'.
It was so worthwhile using my break to do Aunty a service. I love listening to our older people talk; the knowledge and Mana they have is powerful!!!

June: acrylic extensions; LED polish design with water decal bows for feats.

Classic French gold crystals Gel-color manicure/pedicure LED gel glitz Mylar glitter Mylar glitter foils custom gel mix glitz

FINALLY IT'S FRIDAY

This is Ali a lovely bestie of Fran Moore owner of Fran's Dog Wash Taupo ... I was privileged to have 'broken in this nail virgin' bwahahaha... Ali has never had her 'NAILS DID' and all I was given as a platform was that she envisioned the colors black and red; as a compromise I did a classic French chevron; kept it small so the natural plate appears longer and to spin the classic I adhered citrine gold crystals for the tuxedo look; we featured her set of chevrons with ring finger silver mylar glitz foils in holographic... these were beautiful just like Ali - best wishes with your continuing treatment my dear; 

I wish you well and thank you for your lovely presence today (o; xxx

 Grace couldn't resist the appeal of random Mylar glitter foils over Abyss Black Gel-color... 

they are seriously amazingly gorgeous in reality - 

talk about color and somehow Grace pulls it off with her Mylar foil pedicure (o; see you in 3wks babe...

 This is Grace and she came for a Gel-color manicure/pedicure YOLO gets here then sees the aqua blue Mylar foil on my desktop NEK MINNIT foil pedicure with silver mix gel topcoat for this extreme BLINGY BLUE lol...

 Now this was another special lady.... she was proposed to a few nights ago whilst at work (how romantic is her Romeo) and check out her beautiful marquis style peridot set amongst those lovely clear stones... to enhance her favorite color green (peridot) I custom mixed this LED gel glitz which I named: MAMA-KOOL and applied it as a French on her gorgeous gorgeous natural nails (this lass has some serious symmetry going on in those fingers) then to bounce those greens I applied a holographic silver Mylar foil as ring finger feats complete with a silver reflector gel... CONGRATS AGAIN BABE & YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL (o; xxx

 Gloria came in for a Gel-color manicure and oh my gosh another client whom fell for Mylar glitter foils lol... this is a hot pink foil with a custom gel mix glitz overlay and WOW we have a super bright bling !!! Lovely my friend and so glad you just love them... see you in 3wks (o; xxx
