October Nails of the Month

So of course Octobers' nails of the month have to be a Halloween set. Though what I love about these is that they aren't obviously Halloween nails. But very much witch inspired!

'I put a spell on you,
Because your mine!'

I may have mentioned before that Hocus Pocus is my favourite Halloween film so loved doing a nail with the best song ever, 'I put a spell on you' (cannot say those words without singing them in my best Winnie Sanderson voice!) Although with these nails I did do probably one of the worst things I've ever done in my nail tech career. To paint I put a spell on you on a nail obviously takes some time and patience. So what did I do? I decided to wipe it all off thinking the nail was cured with topcoat. I KNOW! I thought I was going to cry and so did my client. Lol but we got there in the end and were able to laugh about it too! 

What Halloween nails did you go for in the end? I didn't get any on as I didn't have time. #lifeasanailtech!

 Hope everyone had a great Halloween! 

Nails of the Month - September 2015

I thought I would start a series of blogs which show our fave nails of the month! This month that has to go to one of our clients who got married in early September. Amanda has been coming to Pretty Polished for quite some time now, so we had the pleasure to experience her wedding from all the planning and updates being given at every appointment, to the Hen nails and then finally her Wedding nails. Thank you for taking us on your wedding adventure Amanda, you were an absolutely stunning bride and we wish you and your husband all the happiness in the world! 

Love all the Pretty Polished team x

Amanda loves something a little bit different when it comes to her nails and these are probably one of the most understated nails we have done lol, but absolutely perfect for her Wedding day. With sculpted stilettos we applied one coat of Shellac Bare Chemise then sculpted white 3D flowers encasing Swarovski crystals.

 I personally love these, perfect for a bride who wants Wedding nails with a twist. Is the classic French manicure still the wedding staple or should we be trying to funk it up a little? Please comment below I would love to hear your thoughts! 

To the new Mr and Mrs Mills!
