Christmas!!!!

 

Nail bites - diy nails

 We’re about halfway through lockdown two ... although much seems quite normal. Except the pubs and restaurants are closed, along with all beauty services including mobile..

The roads are busy, kids are at school, work goes on as usual, the shops are pretty normal.

But you can’t get your nails treated! So what do you do if you have a fast-growing manicure? well, for gel if you can wait please do. 

Otherwise, don’t be tempted to pick the gel off, keep using the cuticle oil. You c an get acetone solutions from online stores - use with caution as it is a strong chemical! 

• Gently break the surface of the gel polish with a nail file - but don’t file it to the nail surface!
• Place an acetone-soaked cotton ball over the nail surface and secure with foil
• Leave for 15-20 minutes, and then have a look tsee if you can gently push the polish off. If it doesn’t come away easily, soak the cotton wool again and repeat.
• Once all the gel is removed, gently file your nails
• Treat with cuticle oil, and keep using the oil at least twice daily.
• Your nails will be ready for their Christmas manicure!

We’ve been here before ...

 So from early Thursday 5th  November we enter lockdown once again to cover England. Not as restricted as earlier this year, but bad enough. Only shops selling essentials will be able to open. Beauty services including nail salons/mobiles are not essential and we therefore cannot operate.

Ever since the first lockdown ended, business for all nail and beauty salons has been slow. People have managed for so long and now they are not quite so dependant on us. And with many holidays out of the question, family events being restricted to small numbers of guests, we haven’t got the occasions to go to that we normally look forward to and enjoy. It’s great to be able to treat ourselves, but then a lot of people are facing jobloss if they haven’t already lost their jobs. 

With the uncertainty of the immediate future, I didn’t advertise as much as pre-lockdown. This was because I wanted to guarantee my clients’ and my own safety so for now I don’t offer back-to-back appointments, and no parties. I have a steady flow of clients, both regular and occasional. Luckily I also have my ‘day job’ so this is not my only source of income, like many of my colleagues. At the moment my mobile nail business is more pleasure for me!

So when Thursday arrives, there will be for now minimal impact to my clients.I have been able to bring forward some appointments so precious clients can enjoy their treatment pre-lockdown, and hopefully we can get back to normal after a successful period of lockdown.

While in lockdown, I will be able to experiment again with different techniques, colours and designs - and of course my own nails! Along with baking, reading, walking ... all the things we were able to rediscover earlier this year.

So don’t despair, this is all for the greater good - and we will be back!
