About me
Hey, I’m Kelly — and I’ve been in the nail world a long time… like, since 1999 kind of long.
That’s when I first dipped my fingers into the world of nails, and here I am, 26 years later, still completely in love with it. You’d think I’d have moved on by now, but nothing quite compares to the excitement of trying new products and perfecting techniques. It still gives me a buzz.
I’ve tested more brands than I can count over the years, but none have wowed me quite like The GelBottle. The quality? Unbeatable. The support? Like having your own glam squad cheering you on. It’s no wonder I’ve been proudly educating with them for over 8 years now.
Being part of the GelBottle family feels like finding your people — positive, passionate, and genuinely supportive. It’s not just a brand; it’s a community.
I'm based in Swindon, where I keep my classes small and friendly — no more than four students at a time. I want you to feel relaxed, welcomed, and like you can ask anything without feeling awkward. When I teach in Cardiff, or Melksham groups tend to be a little bigger (around eight), but the vibe stays the same: no pressure, just learning and growing your skills.
Prefer one-to-one training? No problem. I offer personalised sessions that focus entirely on you. Or if you'd rather I came to your salon, just say the word — I’m always up for a road trip.
Whether you're brand new or levelling up your nail game, I’d love to share my experience and help you fall in love with this industry like I did all those years ago.
Let’s get you trained, confident, and thriving.
