It’s time for bed. 🙏🏽 #sundaywellspent #lotic #partymode #off #berlinnails

It’s the weekend baby 🍹#weekendvibe #dontbeadick #aperolspritz #feierabend

I had the pleasure of doing @lotic ‘s nails whilst being interviewed for @mixmag this month 💅🏽 Front cover baby 🙌🏽 Nails don’t get to be seen for every front cover or shot but us nail techs know we did it 😎 Can’t wait to witness the “Power” Album next month at Funk Haus 👌🏽 #inmystudio #lotic #mixmagmagazine #effynails #frontcover #sessionnailtech

I put this in my story’s last week but she deserves another shout out. I love cycling past this mural most days of the week 🙌🏽 Whoever Elle is, excellent work sista 🤩 #procrastinationpost #stilllovethough #kreuzberg36 #openyourthirdeye #berlinmural #muralmonday

I have a nice video of these freshly rebalanced, Shellac’ed & shiney bad boys for @alexashoen (while she’s in town because she nails it in multiple city’s 🙌🏽) but insta is being a D & uploading grainy images so here’s a picture instead 🧡 #freshflamefeels #berlinnails #nailartberlin #berlinnailart

Colour inspiration for your next pool-ready pedi 😎 Or maybe some watery style nail art... I haven’t painted that for aaaaaages 👌🏽 #mondayblues #emergencypedicure #berlinnails #prinzenbadass

Monday! New week, new book, new set of goals written for the next 6 months (not all are useful but there’s beauty in the useless) 💜 I’ve started to delete insta at the weekend following @the_numinous & @lucky.go.happy & my word, it’s great for some headspace (hence goal-setting 😎) This book is by @estherperelofficial, absolute babe relationship psychotherapist & with my kind of work, I feel like one too. I’m loving it so far 🙌🏽 #mondaysoff #nailtechortherapist #bookhead #thestateofaffairs #berlinbookclub
