Dark Horse Nails

I miss you all of my regular clients! But to people who are just shopping around for anyone willing to break restrictions, please stop. There happens to be a reason all your favourite nail techs and beauty therapists are all being so careful. Please: get yourself a removal kit and wait it out with the rest of us. Feel free to DM me if you need one or any advice on removals or nail care - I may not be able to see you but I'm always happy to chat about nails! #staysafestayhome #nailtechprobs #nailtechlife #nailtechmemes #quarantinelifebelike

For all my nail tech peeps who are mourning their businesses while being harassed by selfish asshats who still want their nails done on the sly despite the thousands of dollars in fines, let alone the risk to our most vulnerable: do what you can to think of this as an opportunity to fire anyone who self-identifies as not being worth your time in the future, swatch those glitters you never got a chance to before, plan your years' marketing, learn something entirely new, work on a project that has nothing to do with nails, and most importantly, focus on your people. This is an opportunity for us all to rest (if you can), reset and regroup, and be ready if the SHTF for real. Focus on your integrity, not your losses. #wereallinthistogether #covid19

#COVID_19 UPDATE: with everything going we have decided to shut down client visits to Dark Horse Nails for the foreseeable future - we're all healthy and heartily believe in prevention so we can continue to do what we do, so the time to act is now. Press on nails will remain available through the website so you can still satisfy your need for amazing nails from the safety of your own home. . All the best to you and your family! Stay strong, stay safe ❤️👪❤️ . Sam & fam... Credit: @worldstar
