Welcome to 'Sassy Saturday' at Needy Nails Taupo (o;

Ooh lots of precipitation... thoughts are with those that went to the concert; hope you all had cover and because the music was so good, the saturation didn't faze yous!

My morning started with one of my regular favourites Paula: today was a soak off of her old acrylic overlay with a Gelish polish design... this is a new acrylic overlay on her acrylic nails with a LED polish manicure design of mixed ombre in vanilla creme brulee, black & silver with dotting , striping and black cat tattoo decal feats... very very you Paula. See you next month (o;

Next was Cindy for her LED polish manicure on her natural nails. She wanted neon colors all amok so I did some swirling and marbling as a random color code.... light, bright fun! Congrats again babe on your awesome family news (o;

First time client Hailey Turner came in next for her nail consultation then application. I had the honour of doing a set of black acrylics with a neon pink feat ring finger LED polish painted on the 1/2 chevron diagonal... with the use of 4mm clear crystals we accented the chevron. If I do say so myself "this girl wore swagg" LOL... lovely meeting you sweetheart, am so pleased you got to experience a true acrylic application - have fun at the 'Fight Night' all you Turangi Angels (o; Thanks Hailey!

Next was the lovely Grace: and nothing is as classic as the french pink & white acrylics. Grace maintains her nails religiously every 3 weeks whether she needs a service or not, she will always come in regularly because if the truth be told she loves my AWESOME company heheheehheeee.... the sentiment is reciprocated (o; see you in 3 weeks babe xx

Another first time client today was Clare, recommended to me by the lovely Toni-Leigh Mexted (thanking you maam)... today was the classic french pink & white unadorned (rather like myself) LOL... Clare was so lovely and I so admired her for being able to withstand my penchant for have a good laugh... it was a delight to do you a nail service today Clare and I will see you in 3 weeks. Thank you gorgeous lady (o;

In rocks Pam after I had a bowl of mixed pasta salad with flaked salmon for 'munchie lunchie' LOL....
Pam: Gelish polish manicure/pedicure in 'blue hawaii' with a custom blue tapped in glitz. An absolutely gorgeous color for such a wonderful lady. Great having our 2014 catch up my friend... see you next month (o;

Next was Leena: this is her set of natural french acrylics, topped with a LED polish in 'whipped latte'... clean, fresh, natural with the super tough and shiny lacquered polish... beautiful my friend!

Last but not least was Joelle: this is an acrylic backfill followed by a LED polish 1/2 chevron french white manicure accented with black polka dots... when all else fails, go with the simple black and white colors and the infallible 'spotty dotties' LOL... as always my friend, a nice sesh was had in your company xxx

This is the conclusion to my working day - Sassy Saturday!

French white acrylics with silver feat fingers with clear crystals manicure and pedicure; acrylic backfill and a reshape from stiletto to round, followed by a LED polish manicure in 'darkest burgundy'; Gelish polish manicure on natural nails - peruvian blue nail art

HAPPY ARVO PEEPS - IT'S FREAKY FRIDAY!!!

Ooosshhhhhh what a full on day and it's been marvelous to catch up with today's clients + our lovely great Aunty Maureen came for a visit and Humpty made date scones and I made some ham, cheese & spinach pin-wheels... enjoying today and even ditched my specialist appointment to make my visit last. Back on the ball again at 2pm but right now loving up my aunty xxx

Today's ladies thus far were: Rachel: French white acrylics with silver feat fingers with clear crystals. Rachel also chose to have a LED polish French white pedicure so it's a double classic for this lady. Bright and lovely... see you next month my friend (o;

Serene: this is an acrylic backfill and a reshape from stiletto to round, followed by a LED polish manicure in 'darkest burgundy'. Clean and classic and when you don't want anything overstated, it's lovely to just stay neutral with a fresh manicure. See you next month buddy (o;

And in walked the lovely Hannah White. Was so so awesome to catch up with this young sweetheart. She is off to the Wynard Skynyard Concert tomorrow and we agreed that she wear a classic French white set of acrylics and for a touch of elegance we applied a coat of 'white wedding' Gelish polish... beautiful just like Hannah (o; much love to you and the girls babe... enjoy your day out tomorrow xxx

My last lady for the morning was Te Marama: this is her Gelish polish manicure on her natural nails. Her nails were longer but they were quite ragged and split... after a nice rejuvenating prep, this was the outcome. The color she chose was 'peruvian blue'... beautiful... see you next month doll (o;

Crystal acrylic sculpts on forms; almond shaped with LED polish manicure in 'red-a-kill' and custom mix glitz over gunmetal grey LED polish; LED polish manicure in her chosen colors of 'matte lilac' and 'white wedding' Gelish feats with some old fashion rose nail art

Firstly, thank you to Deb, Indee and Rayshel for letting me cancel out till Sunday so I could spend time with Karl's great aunty and attend a specialist appt (uhhhh nahhhh cancel the specialist as well); family more important!

I have had a marvelous 'Freaky Friday'. Great clients, was awesome to catch up with a couple of them for 2014 AND most of all so so pleased to have had Great Aunty Maureen visit. The last of the Thomas aunties alive... she arrived at 10am and left at 3.20pm to pick up her moko from kindy; even though I had clients she bowled along unobtrusively with Karl till I could join them. Loving you aunty, and just as a toppa I gave her hard working loving hands a lil' ole LED polish manicure in her chosen colors of 'matte lilac' and 'white wedding' Gelish feats with some old fashion rose nail art. Loving you aunty... Karl was so thrilled to have you visit him... safe trip home to Tokoroa x0x

My day was concluded with the lovely Tamsin: crystal acrylic sculpts on forms; almond shaped with LED polish manicure in 'red-a-kill' and custom mix glitz over gunmetal grey LED polish... these are stunning and they so suit Tamsin to a tee... see you next month babe (o;

At this stage I have still not decided on what will be the specials for the month of Feb as the month is nearly 1/2 way gone LOL... Monday is when I am targeting to list acrylics, gels, Gel polish and LED polish specials for the months of Feb and March combined, however, if that doesn't eventuate then we are just gonna roll on as per the norm. As it stands there is nobody who can match the prices or the products any way, and with the implementation of The Rewards Card, guess it can be fair to say "I give more than I make" and that's the way I like it!

Point of reference: I have been asked on the PM all day if my LED polishes are AGC (Artistic Colour Gloss) by CND because the bottles appear the same. NO THESE ARE NOT AGC - THESE ARE BETTER!!!
These are Cover Girl USA: these polishes are not the normal 3 step application whereby you lay down the basecoat, followed by 2 coats of colour then complete with the topcoat... UH UH...
The One Step System means: they are 3 in 1: basecoat, colour coat and topcoat ALL IN THE ONE APPLICATION!
Those clients that have worn these polishes know exactly how WICKED they are! Paint it, cure it in 30secs and you're good to go! No dispersion layer to wipe away - cuticle oil, hand lotion massage and Sayonara LOL...
Hope that has cleared those queries up! They are currently at their normal price of $40 a one color manicure; pending on your wants if you're wanting a feat finger I'll usually let it ride... hence why I am in a quander as to whether I am gonna lower the prices.... WE WILL SEE!
Gelish polish manicure's are at $30 as it stands so again.... WE WILL SEE!

Another question that chokes my PM is if I do Shellac Gel Nails?
Shellac IS NOT a gel polish ladies!
Shellac is a HYBRID POLISH meaning: it is made like a normal polish but it has properties that make it perform like a gel polish: longer wear, lacquer tough, super shine and no harmful chemicals - the polish soaks off just like gels - hence why named a Power Polish!
Hope that has also set the record straight LOL.. YES I do Shellac but NOPE I PREFER Gelish polish and LED polish - in my opinion, far superior polishes!

Tamsin: crystal acrylic sculpts on forms; almond shaped with LED polish manicure in 'red-a-kill' and custom mix glitz over gunmetal grey LED polish

On that note ladies - keep those nails healthy and as per the usual, catch y'all up in the A.M mwaahhh x0x0x
