..although quietly lurking on Socials, I never went away.

Things just slowed down for a while after a wet ceiling fell onto my head (see last post 😅) I still have a long road of healing after now suffering vestibular disease and BBPV as a result so my availability is now limited but I'm still here, still doing nails, always cuddling your lovely babies (sometimes while they attack my equipment) as I come and pamper you in your homes.

Excited to share a few recent nails ive done lately 🫶

🖤 Hey guys...

Ive reached out to as many people waiting as possible, and I do really apologise that it has been radio silence from me for well over a week, now..

People close to me or on my personal facebook will know that over a week ago, a ceiling came down 13ft on the back of my head and put me in the hospital with a severe concussion, soft tissue injury and a subdural hematoma (bruising) to my frontal lobe and behind my left eye resulting in a cool as f*ck eye patch 😅

This of course, was not planned! Especially after moving some appointments back due to laryngitis the week before.. I am now feeling less sorry for myself and ready to get back to it, albeit it will be slowly..

I have reached out to everyone waiting for appointments, if I have missed you I am really sorry please ping me again! But I hope you all understand why and that Im not just being ignorant.. its all just rather embarrassing to be honest 😂

Feel free to mock me when you next see me, if a house hasn't flattened me by then

Gold cat eye on black is just 😘👌 with some dainty stars and some gems... super shiny and glittery and pretttyyy

I wish I took a before photo because these are Gel Xtensions on non existent, heavily bitten nails so hopefully this will help those nails grow for much easier, healthier nails next time...

Ghost of Christmas Past 👻

Resuming normal service... (𝘐 𝘸𝘰𝘯𝘵 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘯𝘰 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 😂)

These were some subtle black, white and silver Christmas nails with Gel Xtensions for some dramatic length.

Currently in search of a Nail Space to rent, ideally in a Tattoo Shop and/or Piercers or like minded kind of shop...

I've spoken to my existing clientele and while they like the convenience of a mobile nail technician (which I currently am) they would also like to see me in my own space - and I would like that too..

Here's the thing though.. I am in search of a Tattoo Shop space or Piercing space as I started alterNailtive for those people like me who don't feel comfortable or confident going into a salon environment... So if anyone knows any tattooists or alternative places with spaces who may be interested, please share this with them, I would be so so grateful 🙏

I pride myself in being a safe space and accessible so mobile appointments will still be available for those that need me.

& a huuuuge thank you...

I started alterNailtive in 2025 and have met some amazing people and I've thoroughly enjoyed providing some wicked nails. It was a huge risk to take and it really paid off and its thanks to everyone's support.. so thank you!

The past few weeks have been haaaard and busy.. and full of glitter.. and perhaps my 2026 resolution should be to take more photos of my nails and remember to post them 💀

I hope everyone has had a blessed Yule and I wish a prosperous and peaceful New Year to everyone ✨️
