Acrylic overlay extensions shellac manicure teal, striping feats & 3D hearts french red and metallic gold manicure design

Full on in The Lady Cave @ Needy Nails Taupo on this MANI MONDAY 💅

We had it all going on today...in a good way LOL. Sal and Mina were first in for shellac manicure's then i was off to the quack...OMG my poor doc; he nabbed me straight off for a medical check including eyes poor bugger gave up cos he turned his back pointing to letters so i didn't bother covering each eye with the paddle i just fudged everything...as per the usual he gave me a growling, accused ME of being THE CLOWN then sent me off with a script of 'knock me over antibots' over it LOL 😉

Back home to work and Sini was next with her acrylic overlay followed by her shellac manicure....this design with the teal, striping feats & 3D hearts are very popular. Next was Tia and her friend visiting from Sydney (tag your pics here): Tia stayed with her trusty French white acrylics BUT with a gorgeous new application twist (inquire on the PM if you wonna know what this is) hehehe and we did an acrylic removal followed by a shellac french red and metallic gold manicure design. Finished the day off with besties Vicky and Nita for their extensions and shellac manicure designs of vintage wallpaper roses. 

Another top knotch day with these outstanding clients. Thank you muchly ladies.

LED polish mini-manicure natural nail to attach a form for a sculpt extension & acrylic backfill gold haze over a gel metallic royal purple glitz - Nail Art

Sarah was in for a LED polish mini-manicure. This was a very vicious nail biter with barely any natural nail to attach a form for a sculpt extension. This is 7wks of treatment and this baby is crackin' it with her nail naturals. Short is as stylish as long and in many cases, much prettier.

This is Abs Raharuhi. She was in for her acrylic backfill and I took away the gold haze over a purple custom glitz. We stripped it back to its base and reworked it to a clean and simple custom gel metallic royal purple glitz. Looks very navy in a certain light then the metallic kick in to reveal a hot heavy purple. Beautiful, just like Abs.

Gel polishes metallic chrome silver customizing colors

The News @ 6 whilst loading my pics and post is what I'm about on this WOWZER WEDNESDAY in The Lady Cave @Needy Nails Taupo .

Lots of good news shared amongst clients Gemma, Hilde, Maata, Jude, Thyne, Rose and Kim . Without name dropping LOL, 2 of today's ladies will be celebrating wedding nuptials later in the year YAY! Congrats you deserved gals, can't wait to design your nail needs .

One word: EXTENSIONS! This really is getting so popular as everyone is loving the idea of some added length to enjoy a new nail shape or nail strength to highlight their choice of a pretty color polish. I have to confess that my usage of glitter has dropped vastly with the large range of gel polishes at hand for selection. The metallic are super popular especially the chrome silver or the scope of customizing colors by layering with Shellac....the options are limitless and anything is achievable when consulting beforehand to see what suits your wants and the utmost nail health integrity is paramount. Roll on Nail Divas .

I am finding more and more ladies are enjoying the savings of extra $$$$ in their budget that allows for an extra color or some nail art by buying their Magic Removal Kits and maintaining their nails between services. Just buy more removal wraps, files and cuticle oil when needing to top up and you can't go wrong. Awesome job maintaining ladies .

Sorry to come off as though I'm stalling yous on the PM for weekend applications. I am still undecided whether i will be here in town or away for a couple of nights....will write a post Friday once i'm certain.

Wishing y'all an awesome rest of the evening and catch y'all back in the AM/PM 💕

PS: My stilettos grew so long i cut them back and Maata arrived as i was top coating my Shellac purple and chrome silver manicure....am loving the simplistic color combo

Acrylic extension for some length and the big LED polish manicure in 'skylark blue' with silver hazing and ring finger feats; acrylic backfill followed by a LED polish design - a custom mix of abyss black and emerald metallic glitz

YEH BOI.... Happy much and not feeling guilty that I could have serviced more ladies today! I am so happy to have completed my day at a reasonable time (haven't finished this early for months and months cos always feeling bad if I say NO)... have a scrub up then out for the evening to have dinner at a friend's GOSH have so not been ANYWHERE aside from with famz for far too long... EXCITED MUCH!!!

So this afternoon's ladies were: Ruhaina (first time client): opting for an acrylic extension for some length and the big LED polish manicure in 'skylark blue' with silver hazing and ring finger feats... this lass was grinning from ear to ear.... happy that you're happy and extra happy you're returning LOL... see you at the end of the month (and don't forget to bring your Rewards Card)!

Last but not least is the lovely Darnelle. This is her acrylic backfill followed by a LED polish design. This is a custom mix of abyss black and emerald metallic glitz (hard to spot in the pic actually) and I highlighted her design with some simple white LED polish strokes... very camo-like and very reflective in the light - gorgeous! See you next month Darnelle.

To reiterate: Ladies, you all take such great pics and thanks for emailing or posting them on my timeline - YOU ALL ROCK!!!

WHAT A WAY TO END OUR WICKED WAHINE WEDNESDAY (o;

Another day completed with another newbie Kylie Northcroft (welcome to the Needy Nails Experience') and the good ole catch up with regulars and friends.

Sorry I'm rushing this but I put my order in for homemade Chicken Nuggets for my dinner and my Humpty is dicing the chicken breasts to be dipped in the tempura batter to go with homemade oven baked wedges and homemade ranchslaw... I AM HUNGUS... LOL

So without further ado, this is Aroha: this is a custom metallic gel mix applied on her natural nails. The application is a registered Trademark of mine due to the products I use to make this type of nail. They really are bright as only metallics can be and this almost black with burnished gold reverse is very stunning! Enjoy Aroha (o;

Last but not least is the beautiful Odette: she's off to Fiji on Friday (hence the tiny palm trees I painted on her big toes) and she chose the Gelish holo silver for her pedicure.
