Valentine's Day Special - Acrylic backfill and she wanted to do something 'current and hip'. In lieu of this being Valentino month, Gemma chose 'lipstick on your collar' red LED polish

This morning, a regular whom couldn't change her booking came for her nail service.
This is Gemma. Today was her acrylic backfill and she wanted to do something 'current and hip'. In lieu of this being Valentino month, Gemma chose 'lipstick on your collar' red LED polish and I tapped in some custom glitz for a 'touch of interest'. These are so YOU Gem... see you next month babe xx

Next in was a beautiful new client Ratapu Konui (feel free to tag pics here) followed by her cousin for their classic French pink & white acrylics.
Ratapu has to attend the 'Fight Night' in Turangi and to compliment her color scheme of black and gold, she had a LED polish manicure with abyss black and a Gelish holo gold polish as big toe feats with black crucifix & 4mm clear crystals - Stunning!
Ratapu's French pink & white acrylics were featured with black crucifix, 1/4 nails holo gold with leopard print & clear, citrine gold crystals.

Ratapu's cousin opted for silver holo feats with 1/2 chevron; black LED polish leopard and zebra print with sapphire blue corner crystals to pop her French pink & white acrylics.

It was an absolute pleasure to meet you ladies and hopefully have shared enough info to guard you against nasty nailers with their illegal drilling and products that leave you with an unnatural desecrated nail plate.
Look forward to the next service - enjoy the Fight Night ladies.

And that's our working Thriller Thursday completed. First lady up tomorrow on Freaky Friday is the lovely Tamsyn... as per the usual, catch y'all up in the A.M (o; x0x0x

YEH BOI.... Happy much and not feeling guilty that I could have serviced more ladies today! I am so happy to have completed my day at a reasonable time (haven't finished this early for months and months cos always feeling bad if I say NO)... have a scrub up then out for the evening to have dinner at a friend's GOSH have so not been ANYWHERE aside from with famz for far too long... EXCITED MUCH!!!

So this afternoon's ladies were: Ruhaina (first time client): opting for an acrylic extension for some length and the big LED polish manicure in 'skylark blue' with silver hazing and ring finger feats... this lass was grinning from ear to ear.... happy that you're happy and extra happy you're returning LOL... see you at the end of the month (and don't forget to bring your Rewards Card)!

Last but not least is the lovely Darnelle. This is her acrylic backfill followed by a LED polish design. This is a custom mix of abyss black and emerald metallic glitz (hard to spot in the pic actually) and I highlighted her design with some simple white LED polish strokes... very camo-like and very reflective in the light - gorgeous! See you next month Darnelle.

To reiterate: Ladies, you all take such great pics and thanks for emailing or posting them on my timeline - YOU ALL ROCK!!!

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
