Shellac Nails
I've added Shellac nails to services this month!
This really is the perfect manicure for your wedding as it dry instantly so can be applied on the day!!
This revolutionary product applies like polish but is cured under a UV light so there is zero dry time. It wears flawlessly for upto 14 days of high gloss shine, and is removed in minutes.
The formula is thin and flexible like polish, so it not only looks natural, it provides strong natural nail protection with a resilient mirror finish that resists dullness and chipping, even during the most rigorous activities.

24th June 11- Eastnor Castle
Over to Eastnor Castle this morning to see Heather, her Mum and sister.
This was a busy room with 4 bridesmaids, 2 helpers, Mum, Photographer and Me!!! With the music on the party started, they'd learnt a dance at the hen party which involved lifting up Heather. I was sure this wasn't going to happen as Heather's dress was 'huge' but she sent me a message on facebook to confirm they did it!!
Natural makeup was the theme today as none of them wore much. For Heather, I used Pure Anada Toasted Almond which is a beautiful golden shade over her lid then mixed this with grey to contour her socket line. Jane Iredale Copperwind for her cheeks and used Heathers own lipstick which was a lovely sheer brownish tone.

18th June 11- Dumbleton Hall
Started with a bang this morning after crashing my car on the way to the Hall!! A huge thank you to Tina, Mum and bridesmaids for fussy over me!
This morning it was Tina's big day at Dumbleton Hall, when I arrived Sheena had all the girls in curlers and was creating Tina's wedding hair! If you're thinking of getting married at Clearwell Castle, then this is the lady to see! As Tina has recently become the venue's co-ordinator.
I was doing makeup for Tina, her Mum and 2 bridesmaids. For Tina we used Pure Anada Lilac eyeshadow over her lid, Mocha into the contour and Urban in outside corner. With a touch of Jane Iredale 24 Karat sparkle over top which really gives a pretty finish.

11th June 11- The Manor House Hotel, Moreton in Marsh
I walked in to the hotel to be greeted by Mum and sister of Jo my bride from Friday! They'd had a fabulous day and the weather had turned out great!!!
Today it was Rachel's day and she was very pleased at the bright sunshine!!
I was doing makeup for Rachel, her Mum and Auntie. Rachel had a vintage theme for her dress and accessories which she had puchased from Cocoa Coulture in Cheltenham. She had an amazing silver/blue silk dress with touch of lace.
For makeup I used all of her own products which were Dior spray foundation, benefit eyeshadows and Bella Bamba blusher with a little girl meets pearl on her cheek bone. MAC lipstick in Hot Gossip with a touch of gold gloss! I also added 5 individual lashes to each eye to give her those glamorous lashes!

10th June 11- Cirencester
First day back to work after 2 weeks in Portugal!! Earlyish start so dropped off my son to a friend to do the school run and I headed over to meet Jo at her Mum's in Cirencester.
Chris had arrived a couple of hours before me so their hair was in rollers when I arrived! Today it was makeup for Jo, her sister (and bridesmaid) and Mum. After a night of being sick Jo was calmer when I arrived but was certainly a very very nervous bride and the out pour of rain at 11.00 did help!!!
This morning timings when perfectly to plan and Chris even had a 5 minute pause when never usually happens. Jo was getting married over at The Manor House Hotel in Moreton in Marsh which is one of my favourite venues.
