Studio snapshot

Friday 20th June 2025

Even with the summer heat creeping in, we kept things cool and creative in the studio this week. From handpainted gold details to subtle shimmer and encapsulated florals, it’s been all about soft glam - with a hint of sparkle.

Let’s take a look at what’s been going on…

Popular Colours This Week

Clients have been loving sheer and nude bases again - think clean, fresh, and perfect for warmer weather. These minimalist canvases set the stage for delicate nail art that makes a statement without being over the top.

Nail Art Trends

It’s all been about those subtle but special touches:

• Gold chrome details

• Encapsulated dried flowers

• Jewellery-inspired accents

• Tiny gold flakes that catch the ligh

If you love a bit of sparkle without full-on glitter, this week’s nails have been right up your street.

News From the Studio

Another busy week!

I welcomed two lovely students this week - one learning gel polish application, and the other builder gel techniques. It’s always great to see students grow in skill and confidence, especially at the beginning of their training

Client-wise, it’s been a mix of birthday party nails, graduation sets, mother-daughter visits, and holiday-ready looks. I love seeing all the different reasons people come in for a wee nail glow-up!

Appointment Bookings

I’m currently fully booked through June and July.

If you’re still hoping to squeeze in an appointment, any cancellations will be posted on my Instagram Stories - keep an eye there for last-minute availability!

Nail Desk Chat

Summer vibes incoming. Clients have been chatting about the impending heatwave, their go-to self-tan products, and the best prep for summer skin.

TV-wise, I’ve been told BBC has some hidden gems worth catching up on iPlayer. And apparently, padded and bum scrunch leggings are an essential for the gym - who knew?!

Nails I Wanted to Steal This Week

An evil-eye inspired builder gel set headed for a holiday in Greece totally stole my heart. Blues, turquoise, and silver touches - inspired by jewellery and sunshine. Perfection.
