Had my nails done 31st may with the lovely Ellie. My first time with her and she was brilliant. I usually have nail art with Emma or Andrea, but Ellie done my tiger nails perfectly. She was very friendly, professional and listened to what I wanted. Would not hesitate to use her again. Thank you Ellie.
