Working on finding my best lighting spot in the new house - cute Portuguese tiles as background? ❤️

Cheeky cocktail last Friday to celebrate the official closing of my favourite baby (after child and cat), my little nail studio! Thank you to all my amazing clients, it hasn’t always been easy juggling a toddler and building a business but I’ve had the best year doing so many beautiful nails and meeting wonderful women ❤️ this was always meant to be a side job to my pmu work and mum time, yet it’s grown into something so much bigger and I’ve really loved finding my passion for doing nails again!

I will be continuing to post the backlog of client pics and then whatever my nail life looks like in Portugal, so although the studio is closed Gels by Sophie is not over!

One more of my most popular design of the summer, love this on a longer nail too!

Hi wonderful clients! I am very sad to announce that my little nail studio will be closing at the end of this month, as I am moving to Portugal! I am full of mixed emotions, I have loved building up this business over the last year and I am very proud of how well it’s done 🥰 I have met some amazing ladies and I’ll really miss getting to do this job. However I am also really excited for a new adventure with my boys, and to be closer to family and amazing food 😝🇵🇹💗

I will still be doing nails while we’re there, and we do plan on coming back to the UK one day so the posts are not over! I will not be taking any new clients as of this week, and I have blocked out a lot of my calendar for the end of this month so please message me if you’d like to book in for an appointment before I go.

Thank you for all the support and hopefully I will get to say goodbye to most of you this month!

Classic with a little twist 🤍
