☀️ summer 🏝️ at best judy nails!

i’ve been pretty inactive on socials lately but still tending to my clients and creating beautiful nails 💅🏻

2 weeks to the big move to a new more private and cosy location!

still pumping out gorgeous nails in northcote! if you’re sick of overstimulating nail salons and paying for mediocre results, link to book is in my bio! 💅🏻

AMAZING nail recovery after 30 YEARS of cheap acrylics!

on the left, you can see the damage left behind after carefully removing the acrylics from her previous salon. redness, lines of demarcation from overfiling, splits, discolouration. the level of damage was the most severe i’ve come across in my career so far.

the photo at the bottom showing how her nails looked after her first builder gel manicure at best judy nails! we had a long road ahead to grow out her damaged nails, and taking care of that new growth.

on the right, after 8 months of seeing me regularly, you can see how much happier her nails look after prepping her nails for her most recent manicure. natural colour, not overfiled, longer nail beds, tidy cuticles. much healthier!

and the bottom right picture is her results from her most recent builder gel manicure.

getting your nails done should be GOOD for your nail health. is it NOT normal for manicures to ruin your nails. stop putting up with it!

this is the most rewarding work to do and i’m so blessed to be trusted with this type of work! if your nails are damaged from rushed manicures, nail biting, or anything else, i’d love to take care of you and sort them out!

i might just have a new years resolution! learn to take better nail pics! my lovely client provided this one 🫢😅

i wish you all such a happy new year 🍀

it’s been my first full year of owning a business and it has been life-changing ✨

i’m looking forward to bringing in a new era for best judy nails in 2026 and to continue to serve my beautiful clients ✨

thank you all so much for supporting my small business this year 💓
