nails before overlays.

all these images include fibre glass, silk, acrylic, gel and filed and prepped nails before polished.

silk nails.

Recently did some silk extensions with a gel white overlay. client was very much happy with the natural look and feel of these nails. They have also proved themselves strong and lasting a good amount of time with also no chipping because of the gel. I was proud of the shape of these the most, im loving the round almond shape!

natural french tip manicure.

A steady hand mattered! and also technique in massage and tlc in making the treatment relaxing and enjoyable bringing health to the nails and good spirits to the client. She very much liked the experience particularly the massage! 

Gel extentions

Here are two Gel extension treatments I did for two clients, I had a couple problems with the gel, those being once the gel had gone of the skin so I had to soak of and file off slightly and start fresh on one nail, the buffing I had to work hard on, although they did proove to be strong and the clients were happy with how long they lasted and how the colour stayed vibrant and chip free!

first three acrylic treatments!

 

these are the first 3 treatments I ever did, the first two only stayed on for just over a week really, althought the client was happy with the look, the colour and shaping obviously the strength wasn't there. I believe this was due to the ratio of my acrylic beads, my glue and filing. Although the third I became aware of this and they stayed on much long and the look of them are sooo much more neater and cleaner & she was happy and came back for her infills. 

my array of gels!

acrylic extensions..

Here is some recent acrylic extensions I have done. I have been finding my ratios the most difficult and have worked hard on perfecting my technique.. however with this set I feel I have perfected it the most and felt most confident and content with the outcome and overall look. The client felt fully happy with them and regularly gets her nails done in a high standard nail bar & felt the nails were up to standard to her usual standards! it definitely shows practice makes perfect!..
