The dictionary defines perfection as “the state or quality of being perfect.” I define it as every experience I’ve had at Tappy Tips. Nicky is a master at her craft, and I’ve never experienced someone taking such care of my nails - she cares about them more than me! Reasonably priced, and incredible results every time ! I won’t ever stop raving about her skills 😍

I found Nicky on Instagram after moving to Hamilton and not having any idea of where was good to get my nails done! I’m so happy I did as she is amazing at her craft but also the most lovely person! I cannot recommend her enough! My nails are in lovely condition, she is incredible at doing nail art and has so many lil extras such as stickers and gems etc to choose from along with beautiful gel colours. It’s fun being able to get really creative each session. I’m so grateful to have found her!
