The Hand Ritual

I have always been a creative person but I grew up thinking that working as an artist wasn’t enough it.

Now I’m a mum, and approaching 30 I realised I want a job that fulfils all parts of me, the academic and creative sides.

That’s why I’m building this business with my mum, to show myself and others that it’s important to choose what feels right than ‘safe’ 💕

We’re sold this idea that in order to be a good mum we need to be with our kids 24-7. I honestly believe in order to be the best for your kids you need to be the best version of yourself, to fill your cup first so you can fill theirs.

For me that’s feeling put together by having my nails done 💅

It means I can tackle motherhood feeling fierce and like it is happening for me not to me

If you have been feeling like you are needing so ‘me-time’ but have felt guilty booking it, consider this your reminder to just do it 💕

Somewhere along the way, so many of us were taught that taking time for ourselves is a luxury… something we have to earn… something that comes last after everything and everyone else.

But the truth is, you are already worthy of being cared for.

Worthy of sitting down for a few hours.
Worthy of feeling put together.
Worthy of looking down at your hands and feeling good.

These aren’t just nails.
It’s a moment to pause. To breathe. To be looked after for once.

And you don’t need a reason for that 🤍

“Why doesn’t my BIAB last longer than 3 weeks?” 🤍

There’s usually not just one reason — it’s a combination of a few things working together.

The most common ones we see are:

• Nail prep — if the nail isn’t properly prepped, product won’t adhere as well
• Your natural nail type — some people naturally have more flexible or oily nail beds
• Lifestyle habits — things like water exposure, using your nails as tools, or daily wear and tear

Builder gel is designed to last, but it’s not just about the product — it’s about what’s happening underneath and how your nails are treated day to day ✨

Small changes can make a big difference in how long your nails last 🤍
