I believe that to provide the best level of care and advice, it is essential to know your subject. Most of my training has been with Creative Nail Design who have received multiple industry awards for their education.

I offer nail enhancements in either liquid & powder (acrylic) or gel. All enhancement services are undertaken with utmost respect to the natural nail. I only use hand files and a bottle of Solar Oil from Creative Nail Design is included in the price of a new full set. All my tools are sanitised using hospital grade sanitisation products.
Liquid & Powder (Acrylic)
For liquid & powder enhancements I use Creative’s Retention+ liquid with Perfect Colour Powders. Retention+ is a keratin bonding liquid that doesn’t require a primer, and I offer choices of either pink and white for a French manicure finish or a natural nail look. I also offer glitter tips for a sparkly French – perfect for that special occasion….
Gel
For Gel enhancements I use Brisa Gel from Creative. Brisa is a revolutionary Gel system which gives both strength and flexibility. I also use Brisa on toes for a perfect French look for your feet that will last for up to 6 weeks without maintenance.
Natural Nails
For the natural nail I use Creative Nail Design’s Almond Spa Manicure which offers a deeply nourishing and relaxing manicure experience. Sweet ALmond Oil, Jojoba Oil, Rice Bran Oil and Vitamin E are combined in a range of products to enrich your hands and nails. Each manicure service is finished with the polish colour of your choice.
I also offer a wide range of products for you to use at home to give your nails the best care. I hold stock of all these products as well as seasonal offers.
Solar Oil – ‘The miracle manicure in a bottle’, beauty experts swear by it and beauty editors put it on their must have lists. A rejuvenating blend of jojoba, rice bran and sweet almond oils infused with vitamin E, penetrate deeply into nails and cuticles to prevent them becoming brittle and to promote healthy nail growth.
Almond Soothing Creme– an ultra intensive cream that deeply moisturises and protects dry, chapped hands. It combines the properties of Shea Butter with Solar Oil.
Enamel – Creative Nail Design colours are actually made from enamel not polish. Why? Enamel gives improved coverage and better wearability. The colours are also thixatropic which makes them constantly free-flowing, no matter how long you keep them.
Stickey – base coat. Stickey acts as a gripping agent to prevent peeling and chipping.
Super Shiney – top coat. For a high-gloss, fast acting, extra hard top coat, Super Shiney is the ultimate.
Toughen Up – a natural nail strengthener and base coat. Protect natural nails from breaking and improve enamel wearability.
