WOW! Vegas! WOW!

What a trip!  #qantas you are the bomb!  the upgrades were more than highly appreciated!  Aside from a 3 hour delay thanks to the American Airlines flight being delayed in arriving in LA I finally made it to Vegas a good few hours later than expected but still unloaded and went straight across to the strip for a walk and dinner at one of my favorite Vegas restaurants - Trevi in Caesars.  Yum!

It was a whirlwind of 7 days with non stop things to do, places to go and food to eat!  I think the pics tell the whole story!  It was awesome catching up with all my international friends and I would have to say that other than meeting some of our USA & Canadian Akzentz Team this was one of the highlights of my trip.  I also was honored to be asked to judge the Flat Nail Art, Mixed Media and Fantasy events in the Nailpro Cup which was a blast!  loved it and of course the cherry on the top was my time at Nailpro Magazine - doing the cover nails for the November issue.  Needless to say the plane was barely in the air before i was in a comatose state and proceeded to sleep for 10 hours straight only to wake have a snack and sleep again on the way home!

ALL IN ALL a amazing trip - another adventure to add to my fondest memories!

A sneak peak of my NEW Online Tutuorial

So this is a simple step by step 3D Gel Rose design and featuring Akzentz Options Glass colors which I LOVE!  there are 6 translucent colors in the range and they apply so smooth and can be used for so much.  I have used the glass to create a gorgeous ombre background for the rose and then also to highlight color in the rose.  You can find the full tutorial at https://mylably.com/courses/

Las Vegas - Here I come!!!

So, it has been a number of years since i visited the IBS Expo in Las Vegas!!!  I have missed this trip the most out of all my travels.  I still remember getting off the plane the very 1st time i arrived in Vegas and seeing pokie machines in the terminals and thinking 'wow you are kidding me!'  There was a vibration in the air and the whole place seemed to pulse and breathe.  I think people either LOVE or HATE Vegas and I am definitely in the latter group.  

I would go to Vegas to compete in the Nail Competition there but this year is completely different and I am attending as a guest.  This is very refreshing as i have hung my competition gloves up and now get to enjoy being at a show with time to spend with everyone catching up but most of all spending quality time with our Akzentz Head Office team from Canada and our USA team!  I am looking forward to sitting at a station and doing some Akzentz demo's during the show and catching up with one of my dearest friends and Gel Legends - Gina Silvestro!  

On my way home i am stopping by LA to do another nail cover shoot with Nailpro Magazine and I am super excited about this also as I have not seen the team at Nailpro for a few years either and i cant wait to catch up with them!!!  Stephanie the editor is an amazing woman and her entire team are the best!  

I will be posting up photo's throughout the trip so keep an eye out!

 Here are some of my cover I have done for Nailpro as well as 2 covers i did in conjunction with Gina Silvestro and Catherine Wong and 1 with just Catherine Wong - The 'Nail Queen'

Judging at the Nailympics in Sydney 2016

Looking forward to Judging at the Nailympics in Sydney this year and working with some awesome people.  It has been a few years since I have been to the Sydney Expo and have so many memories from all our events.  My feet especially, remember them all very well.  I recall once i had to walk bare foot around Circular Key with my feet on the ice cold concrete and each step way agonizing but we were starving and we had to get to the restaurant so I persevered and then got up the next day to do it all again!  

Thankfully this time will be different and I am attending as a guest and Judge so my feet will very much appreciate it.  I am excited to see everyone again and also attend the Nail Industry Annual Cocktail Event.

Eyelash & Brow Tinting

Lash and brow tinting are added in for extra depth and colour of your eyes and definition of your face. Your brows and lashes will love the impact tinting can have! 

Eyebrow tints should be 1 shade darker than your natural hair colour. It takes minutes to apply and will give your brows depth to enhance and define your eyes and face. 

Eyelash tinting is a great alternative to wearing no mascara but it will improve the look of mascara application. It is done to give lashes a natural, luscious and darker appearance. 

Lash tints take up to 20min including developing time and both lash and brow tints will last 4-6 weeks. 

This treatment ladies is perfect for a low maintenance way to have natural yet dramatic lashes and brows you don't need to fill in! 

Quick treatments with instantly amazing results!
