READ MY LIPS
READ MY LIPS! We all know too well the pitfalls that we as customers experience when shopping in the beauty section of a department store. Whether it was dissatisfaction with the quality of expensive brands, harsh chemical formulations or wanting to support the local market, we are often left with limited options and a lack of knowledge in distinguishing between quality products.

Creations can be 2D or 3D, and can feature anything from pearls, seashells, diamantes, and crystals, to metal embellishments, gold or silver and copper leafing, bows, roses, holographic finishes and of course, custom hand sculpted acrylic embellishments - meaning the sky is the limit when it comes to design. There are so many nail styles to rock nowadays, but most of us…
