Acrylic/Shellac service

Happy much on this TAILORED THURSDAY in The Lady Cave @ Needy Nails Taupo .

A warm welcome to Marie, in today for her very first pro acrylic/Shellac service. Here she's sporting 5 finger acrylic sculpts (add some length to even her manicure), an acrylic overlay then her Shellac French manicure in Hotski to Tchotchke and chrome gold feats. So lovely to meet you. Thank you Chez Taylor for the lovely recommendation xx

Brooke also had a couple of finger sculpts before her Shellac manicure in her fave maroon and silver chrome feats. Larnie went all out using her Xmas gift certificate to have her acrylic extensions, Shellac and bling. Nikki had an acrylic overlay to aid her short nail length health followed by her Shellac nude manicure ....go you! Gail had the same overlay followed by her chrome gold French Shellac manicure . Dawn stayed true with a hard gel overlay then a classic French white Shellac manicure . I rounded my day off with a hard gel toenail rebuild then this gel polish pedicure for Cam. All i can say is if we took before shots of these tootsies you'd truly be amazed at the transformation. It is a process of patience but the results are so worthy as depicted in this stunning purple. Once again ladies, yous ROCK DA BOAT .

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 ...

Acrylic sculpts, tips, Shellac, LED polish and hard gel nails

It was ELIZABETH TAYLOR FRIDAY in The Lady Cave @ Needy Nails Taupo 

Another day of 'a plethora of apps and color! It was a menu of acrylic sculpts, tips, Shellac, LED polish and hard gel nails... our first simple Xmas nail design happened and nothing but laughter the whole day long - thank you beautiful ladies.

NOTE: There are ladies booking with Jesse for their beauty services whom are being directed to read the rules and regulations before they are offered a time for their service - DON'T LIE AND SAY YOU READ THEM WHEN YOU BLATANTLY DIDN'T AND YOU SHOW UP WITH OTHERS IN TOW!

This is my home before it is a business!

YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO JUST WALK IN MY GATE AND THINK YOU CAN BRING ALL AND SUNDRY WITH YOU! I WON'T TOLERATE IT! I WILL SEND YOUR ARES OUT THE DOOR SHOULD I FIND THAT YOU ARE BEING DISRESPECTFUL BY DECEIT.

This room caters to ONE client at ONE time on both sides of the floor for a nail service or a beauty service NOT for spectators or a mate to just sit around... IT'S NOT HAPPENING! This is a one-on-one personal service NOT the Asian Nail Bar! And lastly, don't be so idiotic as to ask if you can sit in my lounge whilst I am doing a service in The Lady Cave - REALLY!

My family DO NOT intrude during work hours. They too book a day and time just to see Me; my mokopuna respect the fact that I dedicate the space to clients NOT to invade my home life! The client's time is theirs and my family life does not impose upon the client, therefore, I reserve the same rights!

To reiterate: This is MY HOME! This is MY BUSINESS! I call the shots and nobody else - lets establish that fact! I really am THE BOSS!!! Jesse Gee WORKS here, she DOES NOT OWN THIS BUSINESS - I DO!!! I created it, I built it and I can stop it at Will.. believe me when I say "it means Jack to me to stop the honey flowing from the honey pot". The Lady Cave is a passion NOT a means to an end!

It has always been my policy to firstly direct EVERYONE whom wants a service to The Rules & Regulations - NOTHING will ever change in that respect. If this is a struggle for anyone to adhere to, then don't book a service!

KIA ORA KOUTOU.

Looking forward to seeing all you lovelies booked for The Special this weekend so come get your nails did or your beauty on...
