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...

So wish this was a Sunday and I could bury my head under the covers and snuggle down with a good book but nah... can't miss out on a good chinwag with the girls LOL...

Hubby's prepping a t/bone for dinner but i think i'd rather have a bowl of pumpkin soup and some crusty bread .... so now that I've made myself hungry i'll be heading off to investigate the hapz in the kitchen before attacking the rest of today's PMs.

Wishing y'all a happy joy joy rest of the evening....

Acrylic/gel extensions black french and nail art

It's been a day of revelations in The Lady Cave @ Needy Nails Taupo on this TIPS ON TUESDAY 💅

Welcome to newbie Aroha wearing acrylic/gel extensions followed by Shellac black pool matte manicure with hotski to tchotchke feat nails. Revelations: also first time having a pro service, first time wearing Shellac to the point of asking WHAT IS SHELLAC... lovely gal, thank you for your patronage. Rachael sports LV, Pat sports ombre tye dye, Anja sports black french and nail art, Jess went Diva with long and very square with crucifix feats topped off with Carolyn and her pink and teal design.

Straight up - there are some bitches in this World! A local clothing business lady is getting ripped to shreds on her bizo page cos idle gossip mongers can't help but cause jelly drama and influence potential buyers before they can purchase. UGLY! Remember you clowns "Karma's a bitch". On the subject of bizo: You unpro cheats that are home working without declaring your income to WINZ etc and taxes to IRD, be on the lookout and tell your stupid mates to not publicist your availability cos i am sick of being told so and so is doing blah blah blah.... who gives a shit?... don't do others dirty work by carrying on the yarn...especially to ME about people i don't even know! THAT IS ALL!!!

Full on in The Lady Cave @ Needy Nails Taupo on this MANI MONDAY 💅

We had it all going on today...in a good way LOL. Sal and Mina were first in for shellac manicure's then i was off to the quack...OMG my poor doc; he nabbed me straight off for a medical check including eyes poor bugger gave up cos he turned his back pointing to letters so i didn't bother covering each eye with the paddle i just fudged everything...as per the usual he gave me a growling, accused ME of being THE CLOWN then sent me off with a script of 'knock me over antibots' over it LOL 😉

Back home to work and Sini was next with her acrylic overlay followed by her shellac manicure....this design with the teal, striping feats & 3D hearts are very popular. Next was Tia and her friend visiting from Sydney (tag your pics here): Tia stayed with her trusty French white acrylics BUT with a gorgeous new application twist (inquire on the PM if you wonna know what this is) hehehe and we did an acrylic removal followed by a shellac french red and metallic gold manicure design. Finished the day off with besties Vicky and Nita for their extensions and shellac manicure designs of vintage wallpaper roses. 

Another top knotch day with these outstanding clients. Thank you muchly ladies.

Acrylic extensions Shellac manicure French white tip Shellac topcoat neon rainbow colored striping

Yoza y'all on this MANI MONDAY in The Lady Cave @ Needy Nails Taupo 💅

Still trying to get over my wonderful week away in Aucks for my bro's 60th and The Eagles Concert. Miss my fambamz, must be getting old LOL... winding back into work and a tad crook at the mo but taking a glass of concrete everyday 😉 (more like enjoyed my time away and lazy to put my head back down to the grind).... SUCK IT UP 👍.

Sisters Amy and Julz had their wants LOCKED & LOADED! These are acrylic extensions for a little length then their Shellac manicure's... are the colors a reflection of the Season change on the way??? Next was a walk-in called Dee from Hams. She was in need of a French white index finger tip replacement LOL... she was dismayed to see the difference in product (her current nails are from Professional Chartwell Mall), they were 4 days old, seriously lifting and very yellow. I wish I could have accommodated you and did a removal and relay but as you witnessed, my time is booked, I just can't fit in unscheduled services... glad to have helped with a replacement and gloss those nails with the finishing Shellac topcoat. Enjoy Dee, catch you back next month when you pass through. Some more sister love combos with Anahera and Rangimarie looking hot hot hot sporting their extensions and Shellac manicure's... Annalyse rounded my day off with a set of French white acrylics with embedded floral fimo canes encumbered by Shellac neon rainbow colored striping... multi mixed like a marble effect and so so gorgeous up close... enjoy before work demands you have to be clear coated and boring again LOL 😆Looking fab ladies, thank you all very much 💟.
