How to remove press-on nails

May 7, 2020 | Articles, How to ... & Tutorials, Nails | Leave a Comment

The most important thing to remember when removing press-on nails is never force them off. If press-ons are removed prematurely – before the glue has had time to start breaking down – damage may occur to the nail plate.

Settling on a name that I liked was a long process Settling on a name that I liked was a long process that took nearly a decade.

When I first started freelancing as a make-up artist, I knew I wanted to add other services, but at the time I didn't know what they'd be, so I just worked under my own name. Once I qualified as a nail technician (in 2015), I felt I needed a name that would cover both the make-up and mani/pedi side of the business, as clients were struggling to remember my surname. 

Everything I came up with was either taken, or I didn't like the sound of it two weeks later. Then COVID hit ...

We were still living in Auckland at the time, so I had to close my salon and cancel appointments every time we went below a level 3 lockdown. I didn't know how long this was going to last and had to think of another way to earn a living. I started making jewellery and created a second Facebook page and Instagram account for these (see @ramblingrosenz). Now I needed a business name to cover not only nails and make-up, but all the handcrafted items, too.

One morning we were driving out to Cypress Sawmills to purchase firewood. Turning off just past the Silverdale roundabout was a hedge of beautiful rambling roses. 'Rambling Rose salon' popped into mind. I thought about it, mulled it over, and two weeks later, I still liked the name. I shelved it, but the name still niggled at me. 

A year later, I was still happy with the name, and finally began the long and extremely frustrating process of changing the business name - which included getting a new domain, updating my website, changing the trading name on numerous accounts and policies - it took a month, but it was finally done.

When we moved into the existing location, the real estate agent who sold our previous house gave us a voucher to Bunnings ... I used it to purchase a pretty pink rambling rose that lives in a pot outside the salon.
