Rambling Rose is a private, boutique nail and make-up salon based in Mangawhai Heads, providing customised one-on-one manicure, pedicure, and make-up services for women. By appointment only. Feel free to bring pictures to your appointment, and a bespoke manicure or make-up look will be created for you.

Debbie qualified as a make-up artist in 2010 (CIBTAC), receiving a second qualification in make-up artistry in 2012 (ITEC), before qualifying as nail technician with Monaco Nail Academy in 2015. She uses high-quality, professional nail products from the Artistic Nail Design range which includes Colour Gloss gel polish, Artistic Putty (also known as PolyGel or acrygel), and Gel-On Xtensions, and Famous Names’ IBX Treatment to strengthen weak nails prone to breakages.

In her spare time, Debbie makes handmade jewellery and home dΓ©cor items, and writes novels – these can all be found on the Shop page.

Please use the quick links above for manicure and/or make-up price lists, or to book an appointment. Gift vouchers and all products sold in the salon – removal kits, nail files, cuticle oil, etc. – can all be found in the online store. If you’re looking for blog posts, articles, answers to FAQs, or any other information, please use the menu bar above, or the three horizontal stripes if you’re on a mobile device.

To see a portfolio of Debbie’s work, please have a look at the Rambling Rose Nails’s Facebook page or find @ramblingrosenails on Instagram.

The only things cuticle nippers should be used on The only things cuticle nippers should be used on are those hangnails or sticking up bits of dry skin that you're tempted to pick or pull. 

Never ever let anyone cut live skin during a manicure. Your eponychium (the skin that attaches to the nail creating a seal, most people call it the cuticle) is there for a reason - to keep germs and bacteria out - protecting you from infection. It's actually illegal in New Zealand for a nail tech to cut or remove any live tissue.
