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 décor 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.

Do you have make-up and cosmetic products lying ar Do you have make-up and cosmetic products lying around half used because you don't like the feel, smell, or the colour is wrong?  Don't throw them out, try using them in a different way.

Not sure what I mean? Hair conditioner can be used instead of shaving gel. Lipstick can be used as blush, etc.

Rambling Rose offers two types of pedicure service Rambling Rose offers two types of pedicure service - gel polish or traditional polish.  Both have the same prep (removal of dry skin, toenail shaping, etc.) and finished off with a relaxing massage. 

The difference?  Traditional polish is cheaper and will last 4-6 weeks if looked after, but may chip if you're accident prone and kick things often.  Gel polish is more expensive and will last 6 weeks.

If you’re looking for one product that’s affordabl If you’re looking for one product that’s affordable, gentle, natural and yet a very effective way of removing all your make-up – eyes, face and even waterproof mascara – then you need to try the oil cleansing method.

Oil cleansing is suitable for all skin types, but the ratio of castor oil to vegetable oil will vary depending on your skin type. Using the wrong ratio will result in drying your skin out.  Read the full article:  https://www.ramblingrose.co.nz/the-oil-cleansing-method/
