The Finishing Touch

💚 MACMILLAN COFFEE MORNING 💚

On Friday 25th September, from 9:30am, we’ll be joining together with The Nail Studio & Emily Gallagher Hair Studio to host a Macmillan Coffee Morning — and we’d love for you to join us.

This cause feels particularly close to our hearts this year, as we recently lost one of our lovely clients, Ruth, to cancer.

We’re bringing our clients, friends and local community together for coffee, cake, good company and a raffle packed with amazing prizes donated by our 7 beauty professionals, including treatments and services from the businesses involved.

🎟️ Raffle tickets: £1.50 each or £5 per strip (5 tickets)
🏆 Winners will be announced on the day
☕ Coffee, cake & treats
💚 All in support of Macmillan Cancer Support

Whether you pop in for a coffee, enjoy a slice of cake, buy a raffle ticket or simply share this post, every little bit of support can make a difference.

We’d love to see as many of you as possible there. 💚

Please share with your friends and family and help us make it a really special morning in support of everyone affected by cancer.

AUGUST FAVOURITE ✨🍑

This one had to make the cut. 😍

The perfect mix of summer colour, ombré chrome & detailed nail art — basically everything I love about creating bespoke sets for my clients. 🎨✨

And if you’ve been watching my work for a while thinking “I really need to book…” — this is your sign. 👀

I currently have the most availability on Wednesdays & Thursdays before 4pm, which is perfect if you’re a mum, work shifts, work for yourself or simply prefer a daytime appointment.

✨ Choose your shape
✨ Choose your colour
✨ Choose your level of nail art
✨ Leave with a set that feels completely you

Ready for your next set?
💌 DM me “BOOK” and I’ll send you my current availability.

And tell me… which part of this set is your favourite — the ombré, chrome or nail art? 👇🏼

I love the palm tree 🏝️

CLIENT SPOTLIGHT ✨ | HANNAH

If you’re the type of girl who chooses her nails based on what she’s wearing… you’ll understand Hannah. 😂💅🏼

Hannah loves to match her nails to her outfits, plans and occasions — and honestly, I LOVE that about her.

One appointment she’s square, the next she’s oval.
One set is sweet and girly, the next has a little more personality…

There’s always a reason behind the set. 🎀✨

She’s fun, stylish, has bags of personality and definitely isn’t afraid to let her nails be part of the look.

And yes… I have also done her sister Grace’s nails — because apparently good nail genes run in the family. 😂🤍

Tell me — do you choose your nails to match your outfits, or do you pick a set that goes with everything? 👇🏼

You’d spend £40–£60 on these without thinking twice… 👀

A bunch of flowers that last a week or two.
Dinner that’s gone in 2 hours.
A gym outfit you definitely needed.
A takeaway that’s finished in 30 minutes.
Or that “quick supermarket trip” that somehow costs £50. 🫠

But nails? Suddenly we’re asking ourselves if they’re worth it…

Same kind of money.
A little bit of self-care.
And 3–4 weeks of feeling put together every time you look down at your hands. 💅🏼

So… where would you rather spend your £50? 👀

Save this for the next time you’re debating booking your nails 😉

✨ NEW SERIES! ✨

A little while ago I asked what you’d like to see more of on my page… and this was one of the winners!

So welcome to Favourite Set of the Month. 🤍

At the beginning of every month I’ll be picking one set that I just couldn’t stop thinking about last month. Not necessarily the most detailed or the longest appointment… just the one that made me smile every time I looked back through my camera roll.

🏆 July’s winner… this Funky French Tips for Amber Lavender

I loved how something as classic as a French manicure was given a playful twist with these hand-painted swoops giving a more fun but still classy & elegant vibe. Proof that nail art doesn’t have to be full coverage to make a statement.

Now over to you…

👇 Did I choose the right winner, or was there another set from July that stole your heart?

❤️ Do you like the idea of finding out my favourite set of the month?

✨ CLIENT SPOTLIGHT | Katie ✨

Katie is one of those dream clients every nail tech hopes for. 💙

She always books ahead, never skips her cuticle oil, brings the best chats, and trusts me to create something beautiful every appointment.

She has the most beautiful natural nail beds… I’m only slightly jealous. 😂

Her go-to? A timeless French with delicate florals that never goes out of style. 🌸

This year she upgraded to adding a gel pedicure onto every appointment… and she hasn’t looked back. Once you’ve experienced the fresh mani + pedi feeling, there’s no going back. 🤭

Clients like Katie remind me that great nails aren’t just about the design—they’re about consistency, looking after your natural nails, and making a little time for yourself every few weeks. 💅

Who’s been here long enough to remember some of Katie’s previous sets? 💙

Nails aren’t just nails. 🤍

They’re the hands that hold your baby through every cuddle, feed and sleepy nap.

One day those tiny fingers won’t fit in yours anymore… but these photos will always take you back. ✨

Using GLOSSIFY Milky Pink, Lemon & Luxe

Here’s some examples of Polka Dot sets my clients have had lately. What’s your fave - Classic / Colourful / mixed with marble/stripes?

Polka dots was the first nail art technique I mastered and it’s often a go to for those I’ve been doing since day 1.
Especially my MIL who makes 2 appearances in this post!

I love love love dots, it’s so elegant and simple but can show lots of personality too.

CLIENT SPOTLIGHT ✨ Meet Robyn 🤍

Some clients bring a new Pinterest board every appointment.

Robyn is proving that you don’t need a different design every month to have beautiful nails.

Almond shape ✔️
White French ✔️
Occasionally a black or red French at Christmas ✔️

As a hardworking mum of two boys, she still manages to prioritise her nails to complete her effortlessly stylish put together look.

The only exception to the routine?

That middle finger 😅

After years of mysterious breakages, we’ve concluded the kids car seat buckle is public enemy number one and now rebuilding that nail has become part of our regular maintenance schedule.

Proof that sometimes the most timeless sets are the ones that become your signature.

✨ Are you a “same nails every appointment” client or do you change your design every time?
