Yeah…KIND OF is an understatement 💀

The @scottishtattooconvention had us fully booked 😈✨

From non-stop nail sets to tooth gems and everything in between, you lot kept us BUSY busy 🖤

And honestly? We’re obsessed.

We’re now doing multiple events every month and we’re only just getting started 👀

Got an event coming up?

REAL MEN GET THEIR NAILS DONE 💅😈

Caught at the tattoo convention, truck driver, supportive boyfriend, and not afraid to say it louder for the people at the back 👀

He gets his nails done because:
🖤 they look better than dirty nails
🖤 it supports his partner @gelraisernailsx
🖤 and he simply does not care what anyone thinks

As he shouldn’t!!

Self care isn’t gendered. Looking after yourself isn’t “just for women”. And if a fresh set makes you feel put together and confident…why wouldn’t you??

We’re all about breaking the rules and doing what you want with your own body 💅

And trust us…this is just the beginning 👀

Welcome back to Cute But Deadly Business School 🎓

For the girls, gays and theys who hated school but want to know about business.

Episode Two, Zara had 8 weeks to find a new salon…or it was game over 💀

No plan B. No safety net. Just conversations and a slight level of delusion.

Through chatting to clients (because yes…your clients know EVERYTHING 👀) she heard about a space that might be available. Emails? Ignored.

So what did she do?
Went and found them in person. Obviously 💅

And just like that…the Easter Road salon was born 🖤

The lesson?
Open your mouth. Talk to people. Tell EVERYONE what you’re doing.

And if no one replies? Be persistent. Be annoying. Go knock on the door!

Because you never know who’s in your chair…or what doors they can open.

Bosses don’t wait for opportunities. They chase them down 💅⚡️

Welcome to Cute But Deadly Business School 🎓 Fo

Welcome to Cute But Deadly Business School 🎓
For people who hated school but still want to learn about business.

First lesson from your Scottish Nail Maw, don’t accidentally own HMRC £10,000 😅

When you’re self-employed, no one really explains things like payments on account…that you might suddenly need to pay 50% of next year’s tax upfront. Fun surprise, right?

In this episode Zara talks about learning the hard way why it’s so important to check in with your numbers and your accountant throughout the year, not just when the tax bill lands.

This series is all about the real stories behind running a creative business, the wins, the chaos and the mistakes we made so you hopefully don’t have to.

If you’re a freelancer, creative or small business owner, consider this your unofficial business class 🖤

Got a business question you want covered in the next episode? Drop it in the comments.

Happy International Women’s Day to all the incre

Happy International Women’s Day to all the incredible women who make Cute But Deadly what it is 💕🎉🌈💅🏻

From the artists behind the desks to the clients who sit in them, this little alt nail community is built on talented, creative, supportive women who hype each other up every single day.

Behind the scenes there are also women working incredibly hard supporting each other, sharing advice, offering help, and quietly lifting this community up in ways people don’t always see. That kindness and support is what makes this space so special.

Here’s to women running businesses, creating art, supporting each other and looking absolutely deadly while doing it 💅✨

We loved seeing nail techs getting their flowers during Bad Bunny’s halftime performance 🔥💅

So much of nail culture and innovation comes from Black and Hispanic communities, and that creativity deserves to be seen, celebrated and credited always!!!

We might be based in Scotland, but we know this craft has deep roots, real history, and serious cultural impact 🖤

That moment was such a powerful reminder that celebrating differences makes everything richer, louder and way more fun ✨

Nails are art. Nails are culture. And we’re always here to honour where it comes from 💅🖤
