Nail Art Foils & Transfer Tattoos | NZ Made with Mana | By Caiti

✨ Craving nail art that's as unique as you are? Our Auaha & Ngaru Nail Foils, crafted by the incredible @adriennewhitewood , bring a whole new level of self-expression to your fingertips. These designs aren’t just pretty — they’re deeply connected with Te Ao Māori and infused with the essence of Aotearoa 🖤🤍❤️ Just ask your nail artist to add these beauties to your next salon sesh - and watch your mani come to life! 💅 Transfer Foil Gel & Velveteen Matte Top Coat from @nailartnz @luxapolish #madeinnewzealand #māorinailart #maorinails #maoriart #manawahine

If you think Nail Transfer Tattoos are hard to apply... They’re really not. You don't need any special tools. No special polishes. Just water. You can take these to your favourite local nail tech to apply in minutes - even if they’ve never used Nail Transfer Tattoos before. Our Nail Transfer Tattoos can also be applied at home over regular air-dry polish (they’ll last as long as your polish does) 😉 But if you want those bad boys to stay put for weeks, we HIGHLY recommend salon application. Here is a full step-by-step gel polish application guide - let us know if you want a regular polish tutorial too 😉❤️ 💅 Featuring Tāniko Waru Nail Transfer Tattoos by @adriennewhitewood 💅 Luxa Velvet Forrest from @luxapolish @nailartnz (NZ & AU) #māoriart #māorinailart #naildecals #primimpropernails #aucklandnails

What a weekend 😍✨ A little look into our busy work weekend with @primimpropernails 💅🏼 On Saturday, Caiti gave a live demo at the @nznailtechsummit showing how to use her nail transfer tattoos, and we spent the session walking around helping the girlies perfect their technique. The energy was honestly so good all weekend and the vibes with the @monaconailacademy crew are always unmatched 🫶🏼 Then on Sunday we were over at the @nailcentral_nz expo running little one-on-one style masterclasses at the stall with @xo.nails.x — sharing our favourite ways to use @primimpropernails products, plus all our little tips and tricks along the way. Teaching is genuinely one of my favourite parts of this industry. I love helping people feel inspired and confident with nail art, and getting to meet so many beautiful creatives in person was such a highlight 🥹✨ Now I’m home with my babies and back in my little art cave creating again 🤍 Honestly, this weekend reminded me how much I LOVE the creative side of teaching and sharing techniques, so I think it’s time I start posting more tutorials, behind-the-scenes content, and little “watch me work” style videos 👀✨ I hope you’re all excited because I definitely am 😍

Mixed Media 2026 — results are in 🎨✨💚 This category is where technique and creativity really meet. Combining 3D elements with hand painting opens the door to so many possibilities — and it was exciting to see how you explored that this year. There’s a strong level of skill across the entries, with artists pushing into texture, dimension, and detail in really thoughtful ways. It’s not an easy category, and that effort absolutely shows. A big thank you to everyone who entered and committed your work to the judging process. You all deserve a huge congratulations… and thank you to our sponsor for supporting this space and helping it grow. We’d love to see even more of you step into Mixed Media next year. If you’ve been thinking about it… take this as your sign 👀 Have a scroll through the placings and take it all in 👇✨ #nznailcomp #nails #nailart #mixed media
