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 dรฉcor 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.

This client came in wanting a French manicure with and island / cruise theme, so instead of traditional, solid French tips, we went with French with a twist and gave her sea-themed Frenchies.

One of the biggest (and hardest) lessons I had to One of the biggest (and hardest) lessons I had to learn as a nail tech was not to compare myself to anyone else. 

- Progress is different for everyone, and it only comes with (lots of) practice.
- Each nail tech has a different style.
- Some are good at hand-painted nail art, others are good at something else. 
- Find your unique niche, the place where you're comfortable and have the most fun doing what you love.
- Don't force yourself to try be someone you're not. 
- Don't ever compare yourself to anyone else, you're not them.

See the difference a few years can make โžก

What are the main causes of nail damage? 1. Picki What are the main causes of nail damage?

1. Picking or peeling off gel polish or other product - it takes off layers of the natural nail - nails may even feel soft or sensitive after picking off product.
2. Over-aggressive preparation.
3. Incorrect removal - not soaking for long enough, or filing off too much.
4. Biting nails instead of filing them.
5. Picking cuticles and skin around nails.
