Testimonials
"Lisa made my beautiful wedding nails. I don’t like the procedure of having acrylic nails applied so the nails that Lisa made for me were perfect for my special day. I used glue and if I hadn’t of taken them off for work I’m sure they would have stayed on for a couple of weeks. The sizing of the nails was an easy process & communication was excellent. Thank you for my beautiful nails. Xx"
Lisa Meade
"Absolutely amazing talented lady… just WOW. Lisa did me a truly beautiful set of nails, personalised with a very touching tribute to our daughter who we sadly lost born sleeping last October, for our wedding. Honestly had me tearing up how truly stunning they are. Once we’re married I will share a photo to the page. But I cannot recommend Lisa enough, she really does go above and beyond to make a truly stunning set for any occasion to suit you. I really don’t think there would be anything she couldn’t do. Thank you so much Lisa. You have made our big day that little bit extra special. Thank you really doesn’t cut it at how truly grateful I am to you x"
