Another two weeks of Charity Nails have flown by with more still to come!
E’s Nude Triangles
This lady is another who sits near me but who I’ve never had a real chance to get to know. I love her fashion sense so I was delighted to be doing her nails. She requested something geometric in nudes and golds, so we settled on crossover triangles.

- Nails Inc Chalk Farm Road

Wrap up of weeks 3 and 4
- Always make time to practise! There were one or two where I didn’t have time to practise and I went away feeling like I could have given them something better. Practise makes perfect after all…
- Some people have ridiculously good genes – one lady turned out to be 10 years older than I thought she was!
- Galaxies never cease to look amazing!
Enjoy!
