TOOTH GEM TRAINING IS OFFICIALLY HERE 💎🥳 Th

TOOTH GEM TRAINING IS OFFICIALLY HERE 💎🥳

The course is now ABT accredited, which means you can learn tooth gems with an accredited qualification and build it into a professional, insurable service 🦷✨

And for @meantformore.creatives first cohort, Zara doing something a little special…

FOUNDING STUDENT PRICE: £444 👀

This training isn’t just for nail techs or beauty professionals.

Maybe you’re already working in a salon and want to add another service.
Maybe you’re a freelancer looking for another income stream.
Maybe you work in a tattoo studio.
Maybe you want to take it mobile.
Or maybe you simply love tooth gems and want to learn a completely new skill that could become your next side hustle.

You don’t need to already work in the beauty industry to learn. 💎

Zara provide everything you need on the training day, and afterwards you’ll receive a full resource list so you know exactly what to buy when you’re ready to start offering tooth gems yourself.

Zara has been doing tooth gems for around 5 years, and they’re one of her favourite services because they’re quick, creative, high-profit and can fit around so many different types of businesses.

Edinburgh Fringe isn’t officially here until @chrxstopher.hall has had his annual Cute But Deadly appointment 🎤🎭💕

For the fifth year in a row, comedian Chris Hall has kicked off Fringe season with a fresh set of nails before hitting the stage.

This year we caught up with him to chat about his new show, Pizzazz playing at 8:20pm daily (bar Tuesdays 😉) at @gildedballoon Teviot, why he keeps coming back to Cute But Deadly, and put him through a few quick-fire questions because we couldn’t resist. 👀

If you’re heading to Edinburgh Fringe, why not add a little sparkle to your visit?

𝘼𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙣𝙞𝙜

𝘼𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙣𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩...🖤

What a night.

Firstly, a huge shout out to Lauren @ohnails.bylauren & @polishnpaint for the months of hard work that went into making After Dark happen. Organising an event like this is no small task, and it really showed. The atmosphere, the people, the brands... everything came together so brilliantly. You should be incredibly proud. 🖤

For us, the best part wasn't just the prizes (although we somehow came home with some amazing goodies from the raffle and tombola!), it was the conversations.

𝙏𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨. 𝙏𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙜. 𝙏𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚. 𝙏𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙨, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝙗𝙞𝙩𝙨, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛-𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙤𝙮𝙚𝙙.

It was a reminder of something I believe so strongly:
The industry's better when we're building together.
There's room for all of us to grow.
There's room to share knowledge, celebrate each other's wins, and help lift someone else up without it taking anything away from our own success.

We also loved tooth gemming so many of you throughout the evening! If you got a gem with us, please tag us 🔖we'd love to see your photos because we were far too busy chatting and sparkling smiles to remember to take our own. 😂✨

Congratulations to everyone who won prizes, and a massive thank you to all the brands who donated to the raffle and tombola, helping raise an incredible amount for @homestartuk

The trend is funny but there’s actually a really important message behind it 🖤

The best marketing you’ll ever have isn’t a viral Reel.

It’s a client leaving your appointment thinking, “I need to tell my friend about this.”

People don’t just recommend great nails and stunning tooth gems. They recommend how you made them feel.

The chats.
The laughs.
The trust.
The safe space.
The confidence they leave with.

That’s something you can’t fake, and you definitely can’t buy.

Every recommendation, tag, review and “you HAVE to book my nail tech” means the world to us because it tells us we’ve done more than just a set of nails, we’ve built a genuine connection.

So if you’ve ever sent a friend our way, shared our work or spoken about Cute But Deadly in a conversation… thank you. ✨💅🏻 WE LOVE YOU

You’re a huge part of how our community continues to grow, and we never take that for granted.

Tag the person who first introduced you to Cute But Deadly… or the friend you’re constantly telling to finally book that appointment. 😈

If I was starting my nail business today, we’d be thinking bigger than just nails 💎

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned over the years is this…

You don’t always need more clients to grow your business. Sometimes you just need more ways to serve the clients you already have.

That’s exactly why we are working towards offering Tooth Gem Training.

Tooth gems have become one of our favourite treatments because they’re:

✨ A premium add-on to existing appointments
✨ Quick to apply
✨ Perfect for pop-ups, festivals and events
✨ A brilliant way to diversify your income

Whether you’re a nail tech, beauty professional or salon owner looking to upskill your team, adding another service to your menu can open so many new opportunities.

Investing in your skills is investing in your future 🌈

There are only 6 months left of 2026, and life’s too short to keep talking yourself out of the little things that make you smile.

Whether you’re after something subtle or a full statement smile, we’ve got you.

Stop waiting for the “right time” book the appointment. 😈

The artist 💅🏻 the art 🔥✨ Watching some

The artist 💅🏻 the art 🔥✨

Watching someone grow in confidence is one of the best parts of what we do.

When @nailartistrybyfreya joined Cute But Deadly as a freelancer, she had the talent, the drive and the willingness to keep learning. Since then, she’s continued to refine her nail art, push herself creatively and now she’s adding tooth gems to her skill set too. 💎

Why? Because the more you know, the more opportunities you create for yourself.

As a freelancer, investing in your education isn’t just about becoming a better nail tech, it’s about building a sustainable career, attracting new clients and creating multiple streams of income.

That’s exactly why we’ve launched our training.

✨ 1:1 nail mentoring with @meantformore.creatives or @thenailfairy_cutebutdeadly
💎 1:1 or group tooth gem training at Edinburgh and Bathgate Salon
📈 Tailored sessions designed to help you grow your confidence, skills and business.

Whether you’re looking to perfect your nail art, master a new technique or add another service to your price list, we’re here to help you take that next step.

❤️ A little update on our Lady Gaga Experience ❤️

After a lot of thought, we’ve decided to move our Lady Gaga Experience to Saturday 4th October.

With summer holidays, festivals and everyone’s calendars filling up fast, we realised our Little Monsters deserve a date where even more of you can join us and we can make this event everything we’ve imagined it to be.

This isn’t just a workshop to us, it’s an experience. We want a room full of people dressed to impress, celebrating self-expression, making incredible nails and having the best time together. So we’re giving ourselves a little more time to make it even bigger, even bolder and even more unforgettable.

🎟️ If you’ve already purchased a ticket, we’ll be in touch directly with your options.

If you’ve been thinking, “I wish I could make it,” this is your sign. 💃

📍 Sunday 4th October

Tickets will be back on sale soon, and trust us… it’ll be worth the wait. ❤️🖤

🇵🇸 Now in the salon: Gaza Cola 🇵🇸

At Cute But Deadly, we believe small choices can be part of something bigger.

That’s why we’ve decided to stock Gaza Cola in our new mini fridge.

According to Gaza Cola, 80p from every can sold goes towards supporting humanitarian projects in Gaza, with the company’s mission centred on helping fund the rebuilding of healthcare and supporting communities affected by the ongoing humanitarian crisis.

For us, this is about giving our community the option to support a cause while grabbing a cold drink during their appointment.

Whether you’re popping in for nails, tooth gems or just saying hello, you can now pick up a can from the salon.

Sometimes supporting others starts with the smallest actions. 🖤
