Classic French gold crystals Gel-color manicure/pedicure LED gel glitz Mylar glitter Mylar glitter foils custom gel mix glitz

FINALLY IT'S FRIDAY

This is Ali a lovely bestie of Fran Moore owner of Fran's Dog Wash Taupo ... I was privileged to have 'broken in this nail virgin' bwahahaha... Ali has never had her 'NAILS DID' and all I was given as a platform was that she envisioned the colors black and red; as a compromise I did a classic French chevron; kept it small so the natural plate appears longer and to spin the classic I adhered citrine gold crystals for the tuxedo look; we featured her set of chevrons with ring finger silver mylar glitz foils in holographic... these were beautiful just like Ali - best wishes with your continuing treatment my dear; 

I wish you well and thank you for your lovely presence today (o; xxx

 Grace couldn't resist the appeal of random Mylar glitter foils over Abyss Black Gel-color... 

they are seriously amazingly gorgeous in reality - 

talk about color and somehow Grace pulls it off with her Mylar foil pedicure (o; see you in 3wks babe...

 This is Grace and she came for a Gel-color manicure/pedicure YOLO gets here then sees the aqua blue Mylar foil on my desktop NEK MINNIT foil pedicure with silver mix gel topcoat for this extreme BLINGY BLUE lol...

 Now this was another special lady.... she was proposed to a few nights ago whilst at work (how romantic is her Romeo) and check out her beautiful marquis style peridot set amongst those lovely clear stones... to enhance her favorite color green (peridot) I custom mixed this LED gel glitz which I named: MAMA-KOOL and applied it as a French on her gorgeous gorgeous natural nails (this lass has some serious symmetry going on in those fingers) then to bounce those greens I applied a holographic silver Mylar foil as ring finger feats complete with a silver reflector gel... CONGRATS AGAIN BABE & YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL (o; xxx

 Gloria came in for a Gel-color manicure and oh my gosh another client whom fell for Mylar glitter foils lol... this is a hot pink foil with a custom gel mix glitz overlay and WOW we have a super bright bling !!! Lovely my friend and so glad you just love them... see you in 3wks (o; xxx

Gelish is a Harmony Brand of Gel Polish (a top brand product)!!!

OMG my PM is so inundated with so called 'Gel Nail' requests!

CORRECTION: Gelish nails ARE NOT GEL NAILS!!!
Gelish is a Harmony Brand of Gel Polish (a top brand product)!!! I have many many of these POLISHES!

I have ladies asking me if they can come for $30 gel nails.... uhhhhh come again! Apparently someone is advertising gel nails for $30 when actually you are getting a Gelish gel polish manicure - that in itself is an excellent price!
DON'T BE FOOLED - GELISH POLISH IS NOT GEL NAILS!!!

GEL NAILS ARE: made just like acrylics using BUILDER GELS!
This can be via the use of 'sculpt forms' or a tip application followed by builder gels to fill and make the nail (just like you would using acrylic).
Builder gels are the ONLY gels that make GEL NAILS!
The gels are of a viscosity that has a harder set; strong like acrylic EXCEPT they FLEX. They are super glossy, super lacquered AND FAR EXCEED THE PRICE TAG OF $30 - at least professionally they do!

I feel sorry for the clients whom believe they are getting gel nails when really they are getting a 'gel polish mani'. TRUST ME: if you came to me for a set of gel nails, you bet your bottom $$ you will certainly know the difference between a GELISH polish and a GEL NAIL!
How rude - that is a bloody rip off and false advertising!!!

Full Set Gel Nails with Glitz and Nail Art Design + gel overlay + LED polish manicure and 1/2 pearl feats

GOSH some of the school experiences some mum's are having with their kids being bullied, almost had me wanting to march up to the Principal's offices and giving them a commentary... our kids are there to be educated NOT to be set upon by other peers then ridiculed and disregarded all in the name of 'someone of a higher social status'... REALLY... I believe you should not feel pressured to move your child because another is supported by a systemic entourage of 'ignorance and rank' WHATEVER - "the higher the putative status, the harder the impact when you hit the dirt" (some of the reasons for the bullying almost makes one want to challenge the anti-smacking laws again) - stay strong mums!

Acrylic sculpted LED gel nails

Beautiful ladies this TAILORED THURSDAY in The Lady Cave @ Needy Nails Taupo!

Another day of "que sera sera...what will be will be". Sienna was booked for acrylic sculpts as per her usual BUT NOT TODAY lol....it was sculpted LED builder gel nails with some sculpture gel feats; loved encouraging her to try something new...she had the thought, i had the pleasure. Collaboration...works everytime!

Click: in waltzes one of my Turangi gals with the thought of sporting some white acrylic tip Frenchies...uhhhh nahhhh...she only wanted some length with a natural feel with the request of 'blue'. Heres the result...acrylic sculpts followed by Shellac French manicure... its what i call BLUE BAYOU - ineluctably elegant!
Abs spoils me rotten! A big fat cake of choc for me whilst her order was "that bright coral Shellac Nanny and that big silver glitter of yours"....no probs, coral in neon and the custom big holo silver glitz over silver chrome for feats - HOT HOT HOT!!! 

Sheryl, Lisa and Faye cranked it with their acrylic extensions followed with Shellac manicure's and crystal feats - LOVE IT LADIES 

I'm chef tonight so lazy simple i think my honey lol... big fat new York rump burgers with hollandaise mushrooms and BLT fillings should do the trick if you're lucky i might even make you an old fashioned lime milkshake with a big fat scoop of vanilla ice cream on the top, just the way you like it - YEH BOII teased myself into being hungus now hehehe...

Have an awesome rest of the evening y'all...catch y'all back in the AM mwah x0x
