White tip frenchies and red tiger stripe feats shellac manicure, silver feats and 3D leopard design acrylic extensions

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.

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.

French black pool Shellac polish

Finished with a flourish on this FLIRTY FRIDAY in The Lady Cave @ Needy Nails Taupo .

Had awesome catch ups with Zola, Libby and Kassy in for their acrylic overlays to keep their nails nice and strong, finished with some color and design via Shellac polish. Te Ata has some of the healthiest natural nails i have ever encountered; long full beds and strong tips. Today was a French black pool Shellac with some mixed random foils for psychedelic and paua effect...all the same but different LOL. Marie had an acrylic sculpt for length and strength + Shellac polish removal before a new relay with a UV/led hard gel overlay to keep her natural length strong accompanied with her chosen Shellac color & design manicure that she saw from a client's pic earlier in the week. That teal really is to die for and suits you to a tee. Happy wearing Marie, for a newbie to enhanced nails you are slammin' it! Emmie and Daph rounded my day off nicely with their uv/led hard gel overlay then Shellac manicure's in their chosen designs. Thank you so much beautiful ladies. I adore you all .

A fantastic day around in many ways which was topped off with my great moko walking in the door after school with a lovely gesture in hand. He says "hi Nanny, you're my Valentine". You're so sweet my Pooky Bear Jayden. Nanny loves you forever and a day 🎋.

Wishing y'all a safe and happy weekend mwaah

A warm welcome to lovely new client Jen for her LED builder natural gel overlay for strength. Lovely to meet you and keep up the good work by keeping those nails out of your mouth .

Marie's getting married tomorrow and like a few of us 'old school' fans of Betty Boop she is staying true to her wants and going for gold. This is a set of acrylic extensions with Shellac and BB decals. Congrats doll .

Kim, Karyn, Fiona and Beth all stayed with their growing new faves, acrylic extensions and Shellac...thank you my lovelies .

When Jessie told me she wanted to blow her partner away with acrylic extension fingers and toes (she has a degenerate disease) in the colors he loves of black and orange.....well.... Okay rocker, first thing to my mind was simple neon flames...made me think of you sister Trudy Chapman. Happy you're happy Jess, you look stunning as usual .

Have to mention, the sales of the 3D mascara sets and the Magic removal kits are off the wall. I never recommend anything i don't use and test vigorously then claim THEY ARE THE SHIZZ - they are the SHIZZ .

Starving and still lots of PMs to get through so get my eat on and back to the grind....

LED/gel overlay Shellac application

Today both sides of The Lady Cave stations were busy busy busy... nails nails nails and threads and make-up... Another warm welcome to newbie Robyn Dhedo .. we conferred and decided rather than an acrylic application, I sculpted a couple of nails to even out the balance of her naturals then proceeded with a hard LED/gel overlay followed by a French white Shellac application with an opal pearl reflector for ring feats; nice and subtle with some interest (every girl loves a little sparkle).
