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.

Acrylic color animal prints

FLIRTY FRIDAY in The Lady Cave @ Needy Nails Taupo!!!

It's Summer time and ladies are choosing color and the neon animal print is getting in on the action again...aside from the classic French white the animal prints are still the most popular design...i encourage you all to try a neon cheetah, leopard, zebra, tiger or combo - IT'S STUNNING! Acrylic extensions for length and strength are $30 + $20 Shellac this month is unbeatable value hence why the bookings are off the chart - thank you ladies you're all amaze balls.

Lots of laughs today about the alpha male...pleased to say my Humpty came out tops and what was the game breaker??? The lunches and the dinners he has waiting for me when i walk out of The Lady Cave....spoiled much... and wouldn't you know it...it's dinnertime -what's he got brewing in the pan aside from a good ole handle of shandy or a white wine spritzer LOL
Tomorrow's another day of nails but i'm taking Sunday off... it's R&R time!
Ooh gotta go have a Jack-Nohi and see what's the hapz in Aucks @ the tennis hehehe....

How to apply 3D FIBER-LASH MASCARA APPLICATION

How to apply 3D FIBER-LASH MASCARA APPLICATION!

FYI: The 3D fiber-lash mascara is in 3 steps.
There are 2 hard cased tubes in the lovely leopard print design with matching holder case.
STEP 1: Apply the transformer gel first (the long tube).
Pump the brush a couple of times to work the gel onto the bristles.
Starting from the middle of your lashes (not at the lash line closest to the eyelid), apply the gel.
STEP 2: Pump the fiber-lash tube (the short tube) and apply to the lashes in the same manner as the transformer gel.
Before applying the fiber, pat/smooth the wand with your fingers to make the fibers adhere as the gel will pull the fibers from the wand as you applied.
STEP 3: Complete your application by finishing with the transformer gel.

NOTE: For longer and thicker lashes you can do more layers till you gain the look you want.
To remove I personally use a baby-wipe (I find home brand wipes are excellent and smell nice as well); fold over lashes and gentle squish the lashes between the wipe so the mascara adheres and wipes away clean.
DO NOT RUB AS YOU ARE LIABLE TO PULL YOUR NATURAL LASHES FROM THEIR SOCKET.

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

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...

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
