I could really step back into my 2010 era & post a quote from one of my favourite Romantasy novels but I’ll refrain myself.

The NHS / Healthcare manicure.
Reinforced free edges to support hardworking hands, a neutral hard gel shade, and a soft matte finish for a clean, barely-there look 🫧
I’ve started using a finishing foam before taking my photos & applying any hand cream or cuticle oil & the difference it makes!
Prep : tiki, surf, mini sanding bands, Staleks
Products : classic gel + Jelly Gel
Finish: matte topcoat + foam

You don’t put soft or hard gel on toes?
Personally, I don’t. Your toes don’t take the same impact that your hands do each day so they don’t need that added strength.
Your toe nails are naturally thicker than your finger nails & they grow at a slower pace so structure gel or acrylic can look and feel bulky - increasing the risks of lifting, discomfort and trauma to the nail plate.

I know this affect is glass latte but it’s giving smoked whiskey by the campfire.. more of these please, in every single cat eye colour I own.

Growing natural nails when your skin says “no” to most products isn’t easy — but it is possible.
Kate came to me after years of sensitivity, irritation, and nail systems that simply weren’t compatible with her skin. Nothing lasted — and everything left her sore.
So we slowed things down.
Looked closely at ingredients.
And chose a system that supports her natural nails rather than fighting them.
The result?
Healthy growth, comfortable wear, and nails she feels confident in again ✨
If you’ve struggled with sensitivity or feel like nothing ever works for your nails, this is your sign that there are gentler, smarter options.
After 4 weeks of loving her Christmas inspired set, Sadie returned wanting a simple and fresh set to step into 2026 ✨
We used classic gel with day & night collection for the cat eye. So simple yet stunning.
After deciding acrylics weren’t for her anymore, Laura came to me looking for a set that would support her natural nail growth — with a subtle nod to her love for Taylor Swift ✨
We focused on reinforcement without bulk, using fibre for strength and a flexible structured base to support healthy growth, finished with soft pink and blue cat eye tones for a delicate pop of colour from .
We laughed so much during the appointment, what a legend she is đź’•
Rich red chrome, reflective silver glitter and playful Christmas details, all wrapped into a balanced, structured base.
Nail art inspo from & ✨
If you love festive details but still want a polished, professional finish, save this post or message me to discuss about your 2026 nail journey 🤍
Lizzy’s Christmas set was intentionally cut back to a short square so we could rebuild strength through the sidewalls and support healthy growth long-term. When structure is done correctly, nails feel stronger, designs sit cleaner and grow out seamlessly.
Finished with metallic pink striping and tips, a reflective glitter bow and a soft pink cat eye — festive, refined and built to last.
Cateye bows & clean cuticles are a match made ✨
