More Than Just Nails: The Story Behind Roses Kustom Worx

Roses Kustom Worx didn’t start because I simply wanted to do nails. It grew from my love of creating, learning and doing things a little differently.

For me, nails are another way to express who you are. Some clients come in knowing exactly what they want. Others arrive with a colour, a photo, a vague idea, or absolutely no clue at all. That’s part of what I love about it. We can take that starting point and create something that feels like you.

Based in Taupō, I work with everything from simple, wearable nails through to detailed bespoke nail art. No two clients are the same, and I don’t think their nails should have to be either.

Finding My Style

When I first started doing nails, I was learning everything I could and trying all sorts of different techniques and styles. Over time, I started to realise that the part I enjoyed most was the creative side.

I love being given an idea and figuring out how to turn it into something that works on a set of nails. Sometimes that means adapting an inspiration photo, and sometimes it means starting with nothing more than a colour or a feeling and seeing where it goes.

I’m still learning, experimenting and developing my style, and I think that will always be part of what I do. For me, that’s what keeps nail art interesting.

Where I’m Heading

I don’t want Roses Kustom Worx to ever be about doing the same nails over and over again. I want to keep pushing myself, learning new techniques and seeing just how far I can take my nail art.

One of the things I’m especially excited about is creating more of my own original work and collections. I love the idea of taking inspiration from a story, a place, a feeling or even a completely imaginary world and turning it into something you can wear on your nails.

There’s still a lot I want to learn and plenty I want to create. Roses Kustom Worx is still growing, and so am I. I think that’s part of the fun.

More Than Just Nails

At the end of the day, that’s what Roses Kustom Worx is about for me. Yes, I love creating beautiful nails, but I also love the conversations, the ideas and seeing someone look at their finished nails and genuinely love what we’ve created.

Whether you want something simple or you’re ready to let me get completely creative, I want you to leave with nails that feel like you.

Thanks for being here and following along as Roses Kustom Worx continues to grow. There’s plenty more to come.
