Just another completely normal day in my life. Please tell me I’m not alone in this nonsense?

I’m so sorry to the clients I forgot to tell this nonsense to today.

Nuance nails have me weak

Thanks guys

Doing your own dominant hand as a nail tech should genuinely count as an extreme sport. If you’ve ever tried to paint with your non-dominant hand, you’ll understand the struggle 💀

We’ve all been there. The hey girl text with the pic notification that makes our butts clench and the fear sweats start.

This was the moment she knew she f*cked up

Swipe to see if we cracked it

Some clients challenge us in the best ways and teach us to be better techs, Paulina is that gal for me. She’s a chaotic whirlwind that has told me things don’t last on her nails. Bet. I’ll not back down from a challenge!



Day 1. These look bloody brilliant. Stunning. Shiny, chromey, juicy. Perfect! We were both buzzing.

Then a week later - boom - the text along with saying chrome never lasts on me, I’m not made to have it etc etc.

Erm nope, not having that statement as fact here! Got her booked back in asap and did some SOLID thinking and troubleshooting



Will this be 2nd time lucky? Obviously - still stunning. Still shiny af and still good enough to eat (do not do that fine readers!)



4 weeks later baby and a little happy song clearly sung by Mr Bean there.

Every single one still on, every single one flawless.

Won’t lie, I’ve been thinking about these at least once every 3 days worrying about them but BOOM! Perfect!

I now wait for the next challenge because I know there will be one and I get to troubleshoot and learn in the best way. Can’t wait ❤️

It’s show me your shiny things Sunday. Fresh sets, old sets, sets you’re most proud of, the set that sent you into a rabbit hole or into the depths of a panic sweat.

Go for it! Be unapologetic in sharing, I miss things on here all the time so show me show me show me! I want to celebrate with you 💕
