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.

Sugar is something we all try to reduce in our diets, but when it comes to our skin using a sugar rub (scrub) in your skincare routine is something you cannot deny. Priding itself as a two-in-one beauty ritual, raw sugar crystals gently buff away dull skin cells and unclog pores while virgin coconut oil nourishes, hydrates, and protects your skin resulting in a gorgeous island skin glow.

Size:  240ml tub (with scoop)
Available in Bamboo Lychee, Coconut, Frangipani or Hibiscus scents.

Six ways to become your nail tech's favourite clie Six ways to become your nail tech's favourite client:
1. Book in advance - Timely allows you to book up to three months in advance at Rambling Rose Nails.
2. If you want art, have a (vague) idea of what you want. It gives me a starting point.
3. Arrive on time. If you're running late or stuck in traffic, please let me know.
4. Keep your hands on the table. Gel polish is sticky, even after it's cured - I need this sticky layer for the next layer of polish - getting lint, fluff or hair in it means your polish won't look great.
5. Relax your hands. It's impossible to get perfect polish application on fingers I can't move.
6. Follow aftercare advice. Cuticle oil prolongs your manicure. Picking off your polish will damage and thin your natural nails.

Brighten up your winter mani with a glitter featur Brighten up your winter mani with a glitter feature nail.

Glitter = nail art and is charged at $2 per nail. 
Book a mani WITH nail art so I have time to apply the glitter. The cost quoted will be adjusted accordingly at your appointment.

I can be a bit of a chatterbox at times, so if you I can be a bit of a chatterbox at times, so if you're wanting a silent appointment, please let me know at the start of your appointment.  I'm happy to quietly get on with it and do your manicure or pedicure while you sit back and just be. 

If you're getting a pedicure, you're welcome to have a power nap as long as you've chosen the polish colour you'd like.
