Popular Colours This Week

Soft blues, dusky lilac and the ever-popular milky white Build & Boost “Veil” from Twenty have been topping the colour chart. I’ve also had lots of chrome requests again this week.

Nail Art Trends

A fun mix of designs this week - starfish, cherries, and a couple of festival sets for Doune the Rabbit Hole. One of my favourites was inspired by Brigitta Hahn’s JACK textile design, created for a client who’s been installing a new IKEA textile exhibition at Dovecot Studios.

News from the Studio

I’m absolutely thrilled to share that I placed second in the Scratch Stars Awards - Home Nail Salon of the Year. It was such an honour to even be selected as one of the top five finalists across the entire UK again this year, the standard is so high and I’m delighted to have made second place. Thank you to all my amazing clients and students for your continued support.

Nail Desk Chat

Netflix’s Too Much has sparked mixed opinions this week… but Happy Gilmore 2 was a clear winner for feel-good nostalgia! We’ve also been talking about the Women’s Euro final, and school holiday family activities - including Treasure Trails, which I hadn’t heard of but one of my lovely regular clients recommended as a fun way to explore new towns and cities.

Nails I Wanted to Steal This Week

A dreamy holiday set using Twenty Build & Boost Virgo, finished with hand-painted gold chrome starfish. A minimal, on trend design with beautiful subtle detail.
