Raglan Nails

Hi everyone, Emily here 👋

As costs continue to rise and times are getting harder, I’ve made the decision to close RaglanNails.

As most of you know, I’ve operated from a room at my granny’s home, and over time she has decided that she would like to have a quieter and more private life at home. With everything combined, it’s pushed me to make a change & while it’s a big one, I truly believe it’s positive and for the best.

I started RaglanNails when I was just 17, and for the past 8 years this business has been my baby and something I’ve poured so much love into. I want to say thank you to every single person who has supported me along the way, especially my wonderful local and regular clients who have continued to support me through the quieter months.

I’m so grateful for every appointment, conversation, laugh and friendship along the way. 🥹🤍

For now, I’ll be looking towards the future and figuring out what comes next. In fact, you might be able to find me at starnails.nz at The Base this week, so feel welcome to come say hi!

Thank you for everything. 🤍

Buttermilk nails! ✨

These soft baby yellow tones are trending overseas right now for spring, and I can totally see why. I usually like to stick with the seasons, but I was craving a pastel moment & this hit the spot. Spring might still be a while away here in NZ, but I’m already obsessed with the buttermilk trend!

There’s no place like Raglan!

Growing up here, l’ve learned to appreciate the little things - like being surrounded by lush greenery and stunning natural beauty. And, of course, the wonderful people that make this community so special.
