Cosmetic Cupcake

It's been so hard to keep this under wraps but since launching my own nail art business Cosmetic Cupcake Nails earlier this year I've been slowly making developments in my business. I'm also completing my nail tech certificate to broaden my skills to offer a full range of services.

Today I am SO thrilled to announce that Cosmetic Cupcake Nails now has a home!! I've taken the plunge and I'm opening up a space within Escape Hair + Aesthetics (484 King St Newtown) here in Sydney!


I'll be opening in early October and more details to come shortly while I set up! I'll be offering manicures, nail art, CND Shellac and pedicures and gel down the track as well. I'll also be holding nail art workshops from time to time and I can host parties from the salon too woohoo! I'm going to start off with appointments only and they'll be made online or via phone. I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited but nervous!! A huge thank you to my awesome hubby and everyone who helped me make the decision to take the plunge. I'll be working there part time and then hopefully gradually increasing my hours.

Here are some teaser shots of my little salon!


What started 4 years ago as a simple blog has become so much more and hopefully it will continue to grow! Some highlights for me have been:

I really hope you'll all come to Newtown and get your nails done by me! Keep an eye on my social media (Instagram, Facebook and Twitter) for updates! Thanks for all your support guys!

Hello ladies! I've been away from the blog for a while oops but I have a pretty good excuse ;) I've taken the plunge and I am launching my own little Sydney nail art business - Cosmetic Cupcake Nails! I'm absolutely crapping myself but here goes nothing!


I was approached by the team at The Finders Keepers Markets a while ago to get involved in the markets that they're curating for the upcoming St Jerome's Laneway Festival in Sydney and Melbourne this February. Ever since teaching my first nail art class with Work-Shop last year, it's cemented my love for nail art and wanting to share it with everyone! I've long admired the work of amazing nail artists like The Illustrated Nail, WAH nails, Sophy Robson, Trophy Wife Nail Art and I Scream Nails (just to name a few!) and of course dreamt of doing nails for a living just like them. The offer from The Finders Keepers team gave me the kick to finally take the leap this year and take baby steps towards making my dream a reality.

If you haven't heard of The Finders Keeper markets before, they're twice yearly markets held around Australia that showcase the work of up and coming designers and artists. I'm so excited to announce that I'll be alongside some amazing Sydney designers at Laneway Festival Sydney on Sunday 2nd February 2014. I'll be offering express nail art manis - so plain polish and 2 accent nails - with a selection of about 10 designs (I'm still a bit undecided what I'll do oops!). I'll also be selling some hand painted false nail sets too! Make sure to check out all the details on The Finders Keepers blog for the full lineup of designers who'll be there. If you're going to the festival I hope you'll stop by my stall to get your nails done!!


Here's a sneak peek at my work:

Thanks to my friend Bek for being my guinea pig and hand model!

I won't be working from a permanent space yet so I'll be freelancing and be available on a "pop up" sort of basis for parties, hens, events, nail art workshops or even if you have a few friends that want manis done something can always be organised ;) It's all still extremely new and daunting and I'm fitting it around work but we all have to start somewhere right?!

I don't have much yet but please do show me some love and follow me on Instagram, Facebook and also check out my site!

Thanks for looking as always!
