Instagram away

Hey hey, I thought if share some salon work. I've become a bit of an Instagram addict to go along with tweeting, pinning and of course Facebook ... I'm a social networking junkie!! 

These nails are from a few Saturday clients. 

The lovely Sam wanted pretty pink sparkles as she starts her mat leave. They are EzFlow acrylic natural nail overlays with IBD jgp Ingénue with Moroccan Spice to finish. 

Diane went for EzFlow's 'Dragon Red' TruGel and Orly Gel FX 'shine' smoked edges on her acrylic overlays 

We went with cutie white 3d acrylic bows  on top of Amy's acrylic overlays and used Inky Pink jgp with white stripes for extra candy effect. 

Now for some neon! 

Charlie wanted Coral blaze with Jet Set  shimmer EzFlow design acrylic nails. 

Getting in the Christmas spirit!

Crimbo is getting closer and on Saturday one of my clients who is a die hard acrylic design fan wanted something different for 2 weeks until her Christmas appointment when we go bling crazy! So here is what I can up with...

They are hand painted using Orly Polish and Orly Instant Artist Paints

What I used-
Base Colours
Black Glitter Polish- Androgynie (from Holiday Soiree collection)
Red Glitter Accent Nail Polish- Star Spangled (From main collections and now in minis too!)
 Ribbons and Baubles
White Ribbons- Instant Artist Crisp White
Red Baubles- Instant Artist Fiery Red with Star Spangled Polish to enhanced round
shape. Instant Artist Beige (which is a cream colour) for the highlights. Bauble caps were Luxe Polish (From mini man and foil fx) Ties were Instant artist Jet Black
Gold Baubles- Instant Artist Crisp white then Instant Artist Solid Gold then Luxe Polish with Sea Gurl Polish (from Birds of a Feather collection) to enhance roundness and Instant Artist Beige for the highlights, Ties- Instant Artist Jet Black.


The design really put me in the Christmas spirit... not that my decorations will be going up until at least next week!
Happy Polishing!

Matt & Glitter

I posted a photo of these nails on both my Twitter and Facebook that I did the other week on a client and loved the effect so much I had to write a blog about it.

Frolic from the Orly Happy go Lucky collection has been so popular in the salon with all my clients.  It goes on really smoothly (and like all Orly polish it has the famous gripper cap). The colour has really nice even coverage so 2 thin coats are fab.

My client wanted something purple and not to complicated so a signature nail was the answer. I used 2 coats of Orly's Bubbly Bombshell from Pin Up collection (for better coverage I used a coat of Frolic underneath) which gave the nails some glitter sparkle.

To finish off and give good contrast  I  went for the Orly Matte Top which turned shiny Frolic matt.

Hope you like them as much as my client and I did!!
