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...

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!!!

Shellac, acrylic, nail art, foils matte black lady swagg

Splash in The Lady Cave @ Needy Nails Taupo on this WOWZER WEDNESDAY 

Got a tad heedy this afternoon when i bumped a litre cannister of lavender oil of the shelf...SPLASH. The lid went one way, the oil pooled into the carpet and stupid me tried to scrub oil out...duuuhhh...rather than towel blot then sprinkle with baking soda (as i was taught to do) oh no, i had to do a freak out and be left with a big wet patch that looks like the kitty litter just got picked up...a plausible story except i don't own a cat LOL... thanks for sharing the laughs ladies (and hurry up and dry up please carpets)...at least the room smells yummy, even if a little overpowering with the window closed 😕...

Thanks to Fran, Helen, Mel, Deb, Suzy and Olive. A day of Shellac, acrylic, nail art, foils and some fab 'lady swagg'. In this case lets let the pics speak for themselves in terms of the application. Apologies for the defaced, blurry pics. I can only put them up how you send them to me ...

On the dot early in the AM so until the next 24 hrs hope y'all enjoy the rest of your evening

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

LED Shellac base coat top coat red white and black polishes

Evening y'all ...had my dinner and happy much LOL .

This is how it all rolled in The Lady Cave @ Needy Nails Taupo on this WOWZER WEDNESDAY .

Welcome to first timers Chris Morgan , Cheri Trethowen and Hazel Philips. A huge pleasure having you gorgeous ladies come have a nail service. Your patronage is very much appreciated.

Every day there is always a couple of clients that have an inkling of color but not style or vice versa...today was no different. Collaborating thoughts, wants and vision is magic and nothing beats the sight of a very happy client. Thank you all so much.

As per the usual, we're keeping the info short and sweet whereby you can comment or inquire via the PM should you be interested in a particular application due to a pic. Bring it ladies 😇.

I really have to thank all you lovelies that are buying the Removal Kits and the Love Alpha 3D fibrelash extension mascara sets. They sell so fast and their popularity is gold. Thank you all.

I have been asked if I would consider selling my training gel manicure sets publicly. The set includes compact 9w LED lamp, Shellac base coat, top coat, red, white and black polishes; nail files, buffers, pusher, cuticle remover, cuticle oil and remover wraps. 

Although there is definitely money to be made, I stay loyal to the art of paying students via the nail academy, also staying conscious of the fact that this also takes away from other salons providing a pro service to be under minded by homekits. I'm sorry ladies. For some ladies, providing a nail service is what pays their bills, educates their kids and puts food on their tables. I am fortunate to not be governed by the need to rely on a living from nail services, therefore, I am bound by honour to decline. Perhaps in the near future this may be a reality ladies but not at the moment. Much respect for your inquiries ....

PMs are screaming to be answered, so without further ado,

Acrylic extensions Shellac coat

Thank you ladies on this TAILORED THURSDAY in The Lady Cave @ Needy Nails Taupo!

An early start so I could clock out to get my bloods done...had a quick lunch whilst out then back into the saddle to finish our day. Great catching up with today's lovelies as our last round was in November so thank you all. 

I have observed and conferred with my clients to deduct that although they are happy to try some color, their options only turn bold for a special occasion only. They are wanting clean and elegant mainly due to the Season with faster growth, ladies are wanting to change more often with only a minimal regard towards nail art etc... 

What is super popular is the acrylic extensions for length and strength then a Shellac coat...beautiful. I have made a judgement call as well so that if ladies are wanting Shellac manicure's, I will do a super affordable deal to add some length and strength to those naturals before the paint over, even not charging if there are only 2-3 nails to match up. For me, it's more about the happiness on the client's face, rather than the almighty $$$$.

A pet peeve is, I hate to see different length nails with a color choice that just highlights how short the nails are AND then you see nails flooded with overdone nail art that really chokes what nail there is. Thanks ladies for willing to take on board bit of a play session before making your final choice....Blessed to have awesome clients 

The January Specials are almost at an end and thanks for all your PMs with suggestions for the coming month of February.

Always grateful for your pic submissions ladies and your awesome patronage...
