Popular Colours

The standout shade this week was Veil Build & Boost from Twenty - a perfect milky white that’s been in high demand. I’ve left it plain for a clean, minimalist look, or paired it with delicate details like silver leaf and handpainted silver starfish.

Another favourite was My Favourite Red from Kokoist x Nail Thoughts, worn as a full-colour manicure, a bold French tip or minimal cuticle dots.

Nail Art Highlights

Nail art has included everything from shimmering cat eye gels to abstract foils and flakes.

I also loved creating a classic milky mani with subtle red cuticle dots – minimal and chic.

Appointment Bookings

Another fully booked week, as I take some time off next week for a well-earned break.

A reminder that my Staleks tools and kits are available for studio collection via my online shop – restock ahead of your appointment if you need any essentials.

Appointments will reopen after my break, and I’ll update availability when I’m back.

• Nail tech tools and disposables
  All handpicked for quality and performance. Everything is available for collection only for now, with postal options coming soon!

Nail Desk Chat

This week’s chat has covered all sorts - from Glastonbury highlights to the ongoing debate over M&S jeans, I’m tempted to try for the leg length options.

I’ve loved hearing about upcoming birthday plans, navigating work stress, and of course, lots of dog chat as always!

Nails I Wanted to Steal This Week

That has to be the shimmering set using Twenty Discotheque cat eye finished with Aperol from the Glass collection. They had some serious summer sparkle - I’m tempted to recreate it for myself!
