Nails with Chelsea

My friends are in love with stripes 🫶🏻

Gorgeous colour combo that instantly made me want to run and get a co-ord in the same shades!

Would you go for stripes?!

“I’m not sure what I want… so I’ll let you pick” 🐆

Sometimes that sentence fills me with HORROR 😂
But I’ve been dying to try a cateye animal print french and this weird in-between winter/spring phase felt like the perfect moment.

Dolly base + FORTUNE + Jet Black 🍯


Would you wear this set? 🖤✨

Just a cute lil moment for the timeline 💅✨

When your client loved a design so much we had to bring it back 😌💖
Hand-painted heart silhouettes using my new cat eye shade FLIRT from — deep pink, glossy, and doing the MOST in every light.

Not me wanting to put this colour on everyone now… 👀✨

✨ The full lineup:
Doll BIAB → Oyster → Flirt

You didn’t think I’d let you down with Valentine’s inspo… did you? ❤️

A soft neutral base finished with the cutest little heart details, created using Couture by on a Dolly BIAB base ✨

recreation of gorgeous set!

Okay but… these in EVERY colour please.

It’s been clean girl energy everywhere lately but when your client wants more?
You give her MORE. 🤌🏼

Holiday blues called for texture, depth, and a little drama… and I’m obsessed.

Secret Jewel + Vault 💜
Matte + Extreme Shine for that velvet finish ✨

Who’s still a minimalist… and who’s ready to enter their maximalist era?

When your client sits down asking for neutral…
but this colour combo is way too divine to resist 🤌🏼


Cinnamon spice & Vault ✨

Clean vibes for January 🫧

HELLO 2026 ✨
Thought it was time I reintroduced myself for everyone new around here 🙋🏻‍♀️

I’m Chelsea the face behind the page and the nails you see 💅🏼
34, mum to one, wife (still feels strange saying that 😂) business owner, social media manager, and wannabe content creator 📸

When I’m not at the nail desk, you’ll usually find me with a coffee or book in hand, or out in my walking boots with the boys 📚☕🥾

I love creating classic nails with delicate details and a less-is-more finish 🌸
On my own nails though? Very much less is more. Mostly because I get bored easily and would be redoing them every week 😂

Last year was a big one, both at the nail desk and away from it. After a much needed recharge, I’m ready to get back to creating 🤍

This year also marks 5 years since I qualified as a nail tech, which still feels a little surreal.

I’m currently planning what’s next for Nails with Chelsea, and I’m so grateful you’re here to come along for the ride.

Love,
Chels x

Just a little look back at some sets I’ve loved creating this year.

Thank you to every single client who’s trusted me with their nails and kept me busy, plus the brands, nail artists and clients who’ve supported my small business, I honestly wouldn’t be here without you 🤍

Love chels x

Which set is your fave? 💌

Deep glossy green 🤝🏼 Subtle sparkle ✨

Thankful for scheduled posts because I’m probably scoffing chocolates and Prosecco right now! 🥂🍫

These have been saved in drafts since the moment I painted them on one of gorg clients, so enjoy! ✨


• CRYPTO - the perfect winter green 🌿
• exclusive access - metallic red details ♥️

This set deserved a spot in the grid ✨

You all know how much I love a stripe! So after I reposted gorgeous set, my client said “I’ll have that one”

And that was that. 🫡


💖 June + Cinnamon Spice (THE combo lately!)

“The pretty woman combo”
IYKYK. Julia Robert’s at the polo vibes 🤎

My new hyper fixation. Polka dots.
No surprise my clients are as obsessed as me.
