This lovely lady came in last week for the Special Offer of Heated Parrafin Wax Hand Rescue with free nail paint £25. She was delighted how soft her hands felt and healthy her natural nails looked. She then chose a shimmery copper shade of Manicurist plant based lamp cured polish that sparkled beautifully in the sunshine. Lasting 2-3 weeks and easily removed in mins at home or salon with no nail damage. New Spring shades available! For more information or bookings please comment or message. 💗 Darlene

A Pedicure is so much more than pretty painted toes - relax with a warm foot soak, followed by exfoliating scrub, mask, cuticle tidy, nail trim/shape, foot/ankle massage and finishing with The Manicurist plant based gel polish. All this for £25! Or upgrade to the Deluxe with 4 types of hard skin removal £35. Optional add on of heated paraffin wax for an extra £5. Polish lasts weeks and easily removed at home in minutes or in salon. 💗 Darlene

Happy St Patrick’s Day! With an Irish blessing for all. 🍀

15/03/2026

Happy Mothers’s Day to all women. Whatever our circumstances it is a day to value the nurturing we give to others.

It is a tender day for me having never known a mother’s love but grateful especially for my great grandmother and aunt who blessed me with moments of nurturing and inspired me to be the loving woman I am.

Being a working single parent twice - initially to my older 3 adult children and then again to my youngest just 17 from her birth at my then age of 46 (now 63) has been exceedingly challenging and exhausting with no extended family to help. But again, it has been a few true friends whose love blessed us along the way and since become family.

My eldest, and son, lives abroad and over a year since seen him but hoping for a call later today. 2nd born daughter in Yorkshire who has blessed me with 2 grandchildren is enjoying today with them so our meet up will be next weekend but she sent the beautiful flowers in the photo. 3rd born daughter in Edinburgh sent me the earrings and notebook in photo. 4th born and youngest also had to postpone us “doing” anything today so it’s been a quiet day. And to be honest a peaceful restful day probably the best gift of all.

However you are celebrating I hope you are surrounded with love. And, if not celebrating or feeling overwhelmed by images of perfection on social media, grieving the loss of your mother or a child or not being able to have children please be gentle and kind to you. 💗 Darlene

DELIGHTED to receive my practitioner diploma for Angelic Reiki and to be offering as a treatment at Mandala.

Reiki healing is a complimentary therapy where you relax fully clothed and comfortably on a treatment couch, while the practitioner channels a transfer of universal energy through a series of hand positions to balance mind, body and spirit, support healing and reduce pain. I am currently attuned to Reiki Master Teacher (Earth), Seichem I & II (Air, Fire, Water), as well as Colour Reiki and you will receive the benefit of all these alongside new Angelic Reiki in your treatment sesion. Looking forward to welcoming you soon. 💗 Darlene

Sharing client photo and review from last year from a lovely lady who first attended for an IBX Nail Strengthening/Repair Treatment and then manicure 2 weeks after with Manicurist shade Satin - available in air dry or lamp cured options.

”I would like to share my experience of a fabulous manicure I had with Darlene. For varying reasons my nails had become very weak and splitting. Darlene assured me she could help. I had a very skilled manicure. Then, the magic happened. I had an IBX treatment. Unbelievable, my nails were strong again and so pretty. Feel like my nails again. Pics don't do them justice. Thank you Darlene for manicure heaven.”

IBX NATURAL NAIL RESCUE 1 hr £25. This treatment helps strengthen and nourish damaged nails using IBX nail products that pe*****te and support the structure of the nail using warmth and an LED lamp. Nails are shaped and cuticles tidied before an exfoliating scrub and hand massage. The IBX products are then applied, finishing with option of air dry nail strengthener and cuticle oil. Option to add on as an additional service nail paint with The Manicurist lamp cured polish with many colours to chose from, easily removed at home with no nail damage for an additional £10 (£35) allowing up to 90mins.

Making a difference to someone’s wellbeing as well as pretty nails why I love giving treatments. Not only did the soft shimmery pink shade compliment her skin tone with hint of Spring, but her skin was soft from an exfoliating scrub and nourishing hand mask and hand massage, nails shaped and cuticles tidied.

This lovely lady was the first to trial the new Manicurist brand plant based lamp cured polish top coat offering up to 3 weeks wear vs up to 2 weeks original top coat. First photo shows newly done and second shows after 2.5 weeks AND her cutting her nails a couple days ago as getting too long - so why showing some wear at the tips. She was impressed with the lasting shine, no chips, how easily it removed and how strong/healthy her nails. We did a essentail manicure after removal with application of new product Active Glow raspberry, an air dry 3-in-1 treatment from brand Manucurist to nourish and regenerate nails plus is 85.5% plant based. This can be applied on its own or as a base coat (third photo). Want to know more or to book in? Please get in touch. 💗 Darlene
