Rose is poorly..... again......

What a coincidence! My business partner stroke friend (don't know where the stroke key lives in my phone) is 'poorly'.

She is not normally poorly. She is usually a right trooper. The last time she was too ill to come to work was Wimbledon 2013 fortnight claiming some kind of mosquito bite lurgy.


Today is the Men's Half Pipe competition at the Winter Games and quel suprise she is poorly. 


Now I'm not saying that she's foxing. As if I would! 


But one of us (me) is having to watch the snowboarding on the scabby mental computer in the salon in between painting nails whilst someone (not me) has their feet up in front of a massive telly with a caffee lattee as we say in Newcastle. 

I predict that when Woodsy is in the Ski slopestyle on Thursday she will phone me claiming symptoms of bubonic Plague, consumption or leprosy. 


Not that I'm complaining like. I am too busy painting nails for that...

I can't believe these are my own nails!

There are a handful of exclamations that we come across from clients both new and not so new.  The one we hear the most often is "I can't believe that these are my own nails".   This is usually rapidly followed with 'my own nails have never been so long, strong, or healthy'. 

I concur! 


Prior to opening Upmarket Nails with the artist known as Rose I had gone to a friend in London for many years every fortnight to have my acrylic nails maintained.  As a freelance Nail Technician in London using Bio Sculpture on my clients it wasn't until I left lovely Acrylic Tracey behind to open Upmarket Nails in Kettering with Rose that we finally removed my acrylic. 

Rose applies solvable gel overlays such as Bio Sculpture, Jessica GELeration or Alessandro Lac Sensation and I honestly have never looked back. 

We make sure that my product is carefully removed as we would any of our clients.  

It is worth mentioning that if the gel is picked off it would cause damage to the nails and this would weaken or break the nails.

Picking off a product that has been designed to be soaked off may damage your nails, NOT the product!!!  

Clients who return to the salon regularly and follow our maintenance advice will continue to exclaim "I can't believe that these are my real nails"!
