Short nail girlies, this one’s for you! 💅🏼🤍
Who said you need long nails to have a beautiful manicure?!
We LOVE a short, natural nail moment. A little structure, a glossy finish and suddenly your nails are looking SO put together. 😍
That’s the beauty of BIAB. You can embrace your natural nail length and still have a stunning set.
Now tell me, are you a short nail girlie or a long nail girlie? 👀👇🏼

I’m going to be THAT girl who celebrates herself for a minute because I am SO bloody proud of these nails. 🥹🤍
At the start of this year, fresh out of my nail course, the thought of doing a full French set would have absolutely TERRIFIED me.
And now? LOOK AT THEM. 😭
Was I nervous? Absolutely.
Did I practise the day before? You bet.
Did I back myself and trust that I could do it? YES.
I think sometimes we get so caught up in everything we still need to learn that we forget to recognise how far we’ve actually come.
These nails are more than just a pretty set to me. They’re proof that I’m learning, improving and becoming the nail tech I hoped I could be when I first started.
And I’m allowing myself to be really, really proud of that. 🥹🫶🏼
So here’s your reminder to back yourself, even when something feels a little scary.
And if you’re loving these French tips as much as I am, consider this your sign to book your next set. 💅🏼

Your little self-care moment is waiting for you!

There’s something so exciting about learning a new skill, putting it into practice and realising you’re one step closer to offering something new to your clients. 🫶🏼

This was going to be my first nail art including French set, and I wanted the appointment to go as smoothly as possible.
I was nervous, but I backed myself and trusted that with a little preparation, I could deliver something beautiful. 🫶🏼
One thing that’s really important to me as a nail tech is being honest about my abilities. If there’s something I haven’t done before, I’ll be upfront about it, put in the practice and make sure I’m giving my clients the best experience I can.
I’m still learning, growing and building my skills, and I’m so proud of how far I’ve come already. 🥹
Now, the real question is… do you want to see how they turned out on my client? 👀🤍
Follow along because the final reveal is coming!

Your nails deserve more than just pretty nails. 🤍
One thing we take VERY seriously at The Hand Ritual is hygiene.
Our tools go through a thorough cleaning process and are sterilised using our autoclave before they’re used again.
Because when you’re trusting someone with your hands and feet, you should be able to trust that they’re taking hygiene seriously too. 🫶🏼
It’s one of the little things that makes your appointment feel like a ritual, not just a nail appointment.
