The Nail Decorator

This client never comes in with safe ideas… and honestly I wouldn’t want it any other way. 🔥

We went full retro pic ‘n’ mix with this set – cherries, checkerboard, hearts and squiggles, all tied together with that bold pink base. It’s giving vintage diner meets playful chaos and I am OBSESSED. 🍒💖

I love when a client trusts the process and pushes the boundaries a bit, because that’s when the magic happens.

Would you go for a mix-and-match set like this or do you prefer all nails the same? 👀

🤎🩵 Blue Truffle 🩵🤎

When my friend asked for brown and blue nails, I knew we could have some fun with it.
Using Halo Jellie tips, we created this playful mix of glossy chocolate tones and dreamy blue shades, finished with cute florals, polka dots, and little accent details. Simple colours, but together they make something completely unique.
Add in plenty of laughs and a good catch-up, and you’ve got the perfect nail appointment.
Sometimes the best designs start with just two colours and a bit of creativity.
Would you rock Blue Truffle? 🤎🩵

Sage Whisper 🌿✨

Soft dove grey paired with peachy n**e and delicate botanical accents for that quiet luxury finish.
For the ones who don’t need loud nails to make a statement—confidence speaks in whispers. 💅

Gilded Drift ✨

A soft caramel BIAB base with delicate rivers of gold drifting through — subtle, sculpted, and unapologetically classy.
This is for the clients who want neutral, but never plain.
Strong overlays, a refined almond shape, and just enough shimmer to catch the light with every move.
Understated luxury, done properly.
🤎✨

✨ Hello 2026 ✨

As we step into the New Year, I just want to say a huge thank you to every single client who has stuck by me through a year of changes, adjustments, and juggling all the moving parts behind the scenes.

Your patience, loyalty, understanding, and continued support honestly mean more than you know. Whether you’ve been with me for years or found me along the way, you’ve helped keep this space feeling safe, creative, and very us 💅🖤
Looking ahead to 2026, there are some exciting changes coming…
✨ I’ll be keeping my small group of regular clients while taking on more work in the salon
✨ I won’t be opening my books to new clients — so if you’re one of mine… you’re stuck with me 😏
✨ There’s also the very exciting possibility of starting to teach a range of beauty treatments, which feels like a huge and slightly terrifying next step (in the best way)
And of course… there will be dinosaurs, fossil-hunting adventures, and plenty of inspiration coming from muddy boots, coastal walks, and ancient things 🦴🦖
Thank you for trusting me, chatting with me, laughing with me, and letting your appointments be more than just nails.
Here’s to a new year of growth, creativity, and doing what feels right.
✨ Happy New Year from Luminous by Liana / The Nail Decorator ✨
