Hand-painted nail art
Nail art is where Hope's background as an artist shows. The milky white French tips with lace, the navy florals, the candy-cane stripes for December and the little characters and hearts in the gallery were all painted freehand, with the same steady hand she uses for murals and custom artwork.
Bring a photo of a look you love, or describe the colours and the mood you are after, and Hope will suggest a design that suits your nail length and shape. Subtle accent nails and full statement sets are both welcome.
Why clients come back
Hope is known for being punctual, patient and genuinely invested in making people feel good about what they leave with. A former employer described her as honest and dependable, and patient and polite with customers. She works in English and Afrikaans.
