🏆 NAIL SALON EXPERIENCE OF THE YEAR 2026 🏆

I genuinely don’t know where to begin… WE WON! 🥹🤍

Last night, I had the absolute honour of being named Winner of Nail Salon Experience of the Year at the Irish Hair & Beauty Awards 2026.

To see Nail Envy by Gillian recognised in this way is something I honestly never imagined when I started doing nails at 19.

So much love, time, hard work and heart has gone into building Nail Envy into what it is today — and this award means even more because the category is all about the experience I create for my clients. 🤍

Every appointment, every conversation, every little detail and every client who has trusted me with their nails has helped shape Nail Envy into the salon it is today.

A huge thank you to every single client who has supported me, recommended me, left me a review, shared my work, celebrated my milestones and continued to sit at my table over the years. This wouldn’t be possible without you. 🥹

And of course, a special thank you to my partner for being there beside me last night and celebrating this moment with me. 🤍

From starting my nail journey at 19, to standing here at 25 with an Irish Hair & Beauty Award in my hands… I am so, so proud of how far Nail Envy has come.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 🏆🤍
