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.

Ode of Remembrance "They shall grow not old, as w Ode of Remembrance

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

Ever wondered what you should look out for when ch Ever wondered what you should look out for when choosing a nail tech or getting your nails done? 

If you can't see their qualifications, ask where they trained. 
If you're ever unsure of anything, ask - your nail tech should be willing to answer your questions. 
If you're not happy with something during your service, tell your nail tech. You're paying for the service, you should be happy with the outcome.
If it hurts, tell them - they may not be aware they're hurting you.

If you're a fan of plain colour gel polish, you do If you're a fan of plain colour gel polish, you don't have to stick to one colour only. 
Try one or two feature nails in a different colour, or a different shade on every nail (for example, light to dark pink). 

There's no extra charge for a different colour on every nail.  If it's still plain colour gel polish (no arty stuff), the mani will still cost $70.
