Popular Colours This Week

Soft glowy pinks and pretty pastels have been the favourites, with everyone making the most of those summery shades before the season changes.

Nail Art Trends

Summer designs have been cute and fun - I’ve painted everything from ice cream and flowers to hearts and cat eye finishes. A lovely mix of playful and pretty this week.

News from the Studio

I’ll be back to running nail courses from next week, now that the kids are heading back to school. If you’d like to hear first about new dates and course options, make sure you’re on my mailing list.

Bookings

August is currently fully booked. Keep an eye on Instagram stories for any last-minute cancellations or openings.

Nail Desk Chat

We’ve been chatting about Storm Floris, 90s fashion nostalgia, and all things pets - dogs, cats, and the chaos they bring! Viral collectibles like Sonny Angels, Jellycats, and Labubus have come up too - definitely a love-or-hate trend, especially when clipped to luxury handbags.

Nails I Wanted to Steal This Week

My first client of the week chose Hakone Hot Springs from the new Kokoist x Nail Thoughts “Across Japan” magnet collection - a soft, satiny steel blue with a velvet cat eye effect. I think I need it on my own nails next!
