Meet Your Nail Dealer

Hey, I’m Suzi, your personal nail dealer and unapologetic perfectionist.

I’m here for whatever vibe you’re after: clean and subtle, bold and loud, or somewhere in between.

I specialise in Korean & Japanese cat eye, syrupy jelly polish and nail art.

No judgement. Just killer prep, premium products, and nails that actually last.

My home studio is your space to relax. Want to chat? Awesome. Prefer quiet? Totally fine. It’s all about making sure you feel heard, comfortable & leave loving your nails.

Let’s make sure your next set feels exactly like you.

💫 MY STYLE 💫

My work leans towards clean, modern nail design with beautiful finishes, cat eyes, chrome and layered textures. While I occasionally create more traditional nail art, my favourite sets are the ones where we create something a little different together.

💫HOW TO BOOK💫

Just like an ice cream parlour you’ll first choose your base.

Gel mani, builder gel, hard gel, extensions.

Then you add your toppings.

Fancy a sprinkle of nail art or a full knickerbocker glory? I’ve got you covered.

Any removals or repairs are next on the menu, find a date and time that suits you then check that bad boy out!

Pay a cheeky wee booking fee to secure and you’re all set

Please remember - nail art is priced separately depending on design. Please select the correct level.

✨Some information on each service to help you choose✨

A gel manicure is designed for colour and shine, not strength. It’s for natural nails and should be refreshed every 2–3 weeks.

Structured Gel Overlay (Builder gel & hard gel) provide added structure and durability. These are designed to be infilled and maintained every 3–4 weeks.

Appointments booked beyond 4 weeks growth may involve additional time due to a full rebalance & restructure of the nail being required.

Regular maintenance ensures the best results, longevity, and nail health.
