Festive Toes with Stamping

I have a toe client. She is a regular and I LOVE going to see her. We have such a giggle and she has become a friend, not just a client.

She decided she would like some festive feet. She chose the colours and the stamp and I got to work.

We used Gell II 'Come to Me' with a MoYou Festive Stamp.

She was made up and I think they look brilliant!

Holographic Pink Nails with Festive Stamping

Photos just cannot do this glitter justice!
Here I used Gell II as a base and pressed in a holograph pink Spectra-flare glitter from the-colour-shack on eBay. They are by far the BEST glitters I have found for the job.
I always use a base colour as close to the colour of the glitter as possible.
I used MoYou Festive Plate for the ring finger.
A Happy client ready for her Xmas Party.
They look STUNNING. These are one of my favourites.

Fancy French with a Christmas Twist

One of my staff (from my day job as a nursery manager) has always bitten her nails.

And I mean BITTEN. They were short, stumpy and very unhealthy.

She decided she wanted to have acrylics on for her wedding and while they were on, got out the habit of biting. When she removed them, she loved that her nails, albeit wrecked from the acrylics (she went to a NSS) were long.

So, the biting stopped. Once she had proved to me that she really had broken the habit, I offered to do her a 5 week course of IBX and also gave her some quality cuticle oil. 

She applied the cuticle oil twice a day as directed and with the IBX treatment her nails began to thrive.

My regret it not taking a before and after photo, as even I didn't expect the results that became apparent after 3 weeks. Application of IBX is once weekly.

IBX works from WITHIN the nail. It truly is the most magnificent treatment. My client is SO proud of her nails now. No more hiding in pockets or gloves, and seeing her face light up when she sees them makes my day. She has done all the hard work in breaking the habit of biting. To be able to see the difference really is rewarding.

She wanted some party nails. She has never before had a Gel Polish manicure, much less a french one!

Here, I am proud to present her nails. Fancy French polished with O.P.I. Gel colour Pedal Faster Suzi, with Gellux Silver on the ring finger - glitter pressed into the tacky layer. Topped off with MoYou Festive Stamping Plate.

Christmas Jumper Nails

Today I managed to squeeze in some time to treat myself!
I sat and wondered what on earth to do on my nails, and after having a look at my MoYou Festive Plate, I decided to give a few of them a whirl, and it turns out it looks fab. Well, I think so anyway!
Here I used Gel II as a base and pressed in a holographic red glitter into the tacky layer, then adding the stamping.
I was so pleased with the outcome!

Bridal French with stamping

I was SO excited to do these nails. I had a feeling I was going to be able to do something a little different with this one. My beautiful bride client wanted some French popped on her nails, but when I brought out my MoYou bridal stamping plate - I saw her little eyes light up! It was a total mission to get the tux on straight and took several attempts, but with deep breaths and  Perseverance we pretty much got there in the end. This was a great start to her 'happily ever after . . . ' 

MoYou Tropial Ombre Stamping

One of my regulars bought a new skirt and we did nails to match.

Gave me a fab chance to try some more tropical colours with my tropical plates from MoYou

I'm so impressed with the quality of stamping from these plates, I've ordered another 4 plates this morning. 

I really live way beyond my means when it comes to nail stuff!!

MoYou Plate!

Good Greif - Just as I thought i had found the love of my life in the Pueen Plate (and don't get me wrong - they are FAB)  I have now found MoYou. 

Jeeeez, they are Brill!

Here I have one on the Tropical Plates and I LOVE it.

Still practising my ombre with Mica Powder too, so decided to go for some subtler colours on mum and then popped some MoYou on top.

I'm so impressed. The plate was perfect. Seriously. The stamper I got off them and Scraper and second to none. Picked up the design first time, every time and the detailing was great.

Really happy with them.

Think I'll do some more colourful ones next time. Like a tropical kind mix.

here's the plate I used . . .
