🚨 UK NAIL ARTISTS 🫶 WE WANT YOUR ART IN OUR WINDOW 🚨

For this year’s @colonyofartists 19th–20th September, we’re turning the Cute But Deadly window into a mini NAIL ART GALLERY 💅🎨

( We said for next week in the video, but it's for the 19th ideally)

And we want to showcase YOU.

We’re calling on nail artists from all across the UK to create a set of nails that shows off your style, your creativity, your weird little brain, your signature thing, whatever makes your work yours.

As we’ve shown in the video, all you need to do is:

✨ Create your nail art piece or use something you already have ( doesn't need to be 10 nails )
✨ Pop it into a clear/see-through box or display that we can easily attach to the window
✨ Include your business card / Instagram details so everyone knows exactly who made it
✨ Post it to:

Cute But Deadly Nail Co
30 Easter Road
Edinburgh
EH7 5RG

Your work will then become part of our window gallery for the Colony of Artists weekend, right here in Edinburgh. 🖤

This isn’t about followers, salon size or how long you’ve been doing nails. We just want to fill our window with incredible nail art and celebrate the ridiculously talented artists working in our industry.

📣 TAG A NAIL ARTIST WHO NEEDS TO BE IN THIS WINDOW.

Come on UK nail techs… send us your tiny masterpieces. 💅🖼️✨

Cute But Deadly is home for so many 💕💅🏻🌈🦄

A home for the maximalists, the misfits, the artists, the alternative, the colourful, the unconventional and everyone who refuses to be boring!

We wanted to create a space that felt like us. Somewhere full of personality, where you can walk through the door and completely be yourself.

And it’s become so much more than just nails 💅
From nail art, tooth gems, brows and unisex waxing, to education and 1:1 training for artists who want to learn, grow and build a career they love.

Because beauty doesn’t have to look a certain way.
Your business doesn’t have to look a certain way.
And neither do you. ✨

This is our home. And we hope it feels a little bit like yours too ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Introducing @method.bycutebutdeadly by Cute But Deadly 🖤

The education side of Cute But Deadly, created to help nail artists and beauty professionals build the skills, confidence and business behind their craft.

And we’re kicking things off with our new series:

THINGS THEY DON’T TEACH YOU 👀

Because getting qualified is just the beginning.

There’s so much more to building a successful career that doesn’t always get covered in your initial training from pricing and attracting clients to confidence, mindset, making money and actually running a business.

Through METHOD, we’ll be sharing the lessons we’ve learned from years in the industry, alongside:

💅 1:1 nail training
💎 Tooth gem training
🧠 Business advice & education
✨ Mentoring
🎓 Courses & practical training

Whether you’re newly qualified, already established or thinking about turning your passion into a career, METHOD is here to help you level up.

No gatekeeping. No pretending we’ve got it all figured out. Just the things we’ve learned along the way including the things they don’t teach you.

Welcome to METHOD 🖤

From the nail chair to the Fringe stage✨🎤

For our final @sarahhesterross moment, we had to show you the finished look, a purple cat-eye base, gold stars and, of course, that hand-painted detail.

Black & cat eye and brushes by @msk.nails.uk 💅🏻

@meantformore.creatives created the set to complement Sarah’s Stage outfits, and we were lucky enough to head along to the show last night and see those nails sparkling under the stage lights✨💜

And of course…Sarah was SERVING! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you Sarah for bringing us along for the ride, we’ve absolutely loved having you in the Cute But Deadly chair. 🖤

Now go catch Serving C*nt at the @gildedballoon Teviot if you haven’t already 💋

Four weeks later and the old set was STILL serving… but obviously we had to level up. 🌈🖤

Dark rainbow, dual-tone, moody little magic exactly the kind of nails that make you do the okayyyy hand. 👌✨

This one is long but we promise, worth the full listen 🖤😂

In Part 2, @meantformore.creatives sits down with @sarahhesterross to talk about why she chose the name Serving Cunt for her Fringe Show and the conversation goes way beyond the title.

Sarah talks about reclaiming words that have historically been used to shame and police women and turning them into words of confidence, power and self-expression.

She also talks about the influence of Black ballroom culture and the way the word cunt has been used within that community as a celebration of being powerful, fabulous and unapologetically yourself.

It’s a really interesting conversation about language, misogyny, empowerment and taking ownership of words that were never meant to make us feel good about ourselves.

So yes, it’s a longer one but stick with it until the end, you will also hear a preview of Sarah’s gorgeous voice! 👀

And if you haven’t seen Sarah yet, Serving Cunt is at Gilded Balloon Teviot, 4:20pm, Monday, Tuesday, Friday & Saturday. 💋🎤

I’m about to influence you into another nail order. Sorry in advance. 💅😂

Because my obsession with @msk.nails.shop is getting slightly out of hand.

The cat eyes are IRRESISTIBLE. ✨
The pigment in the colours is unreal.
And some of them are literally ONE COAT AND DONE.

For nail art especially, that pigment is a bloody dream 🥰 less layering, crisp details, quicker application and colours that actually SHOW UP. 👏

At this point, MSK has fully earned its permanent place on my nail desk.

So if you’ve been looking for a sign to try them… this is it.

I apologise in advance for what this does to your bank account. 😂💅

We caught up with Sarah while she was getting her Fringe nails ready to talk about her comedy & cabaret show, Serving Cunt. A big-energy celebration of female empowerment, catchy songs and unapologetically fabulous comedy 💋🎤

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 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

✨ 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗗𝗮𝗿𝗸, 𝘄𝗲'𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝟭𝟬% 𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗚𝗲𝗺 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗲𝗻𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲

And finally... if we met last night and we're not following each other yet, let's fix that. Come and say hello. I'd love to keep the conversations going. 🖤
