Rambling Rose is a private, boutique nail and make-up salon based in Mangawhai Heads, providing customised one-on-one manicure, pedicure, and make-up services for women. By appointment only. Feel free to bring pictures to your appointment, and a bespoke manicure or make-up look will be created for you.

Debbie qualified as a make-up artist in 2010 (CIBTAC), receiving a second qualification in make-up artistry in 2012 (ITEC), before qualifying as nail technician with Monaco Nail Academy in 2015. She uses high-quality, professional nail products from the Artistic Nail Design range which includes Colour Gloss gel polish, Artistic Putty (also known as PolyGel or acrygel), and Gel-On Xtensions, and Famous Names’ IBX Treatment to strengthen weak nails prone to breakages.

In her spare time, Debbie makes handmade jewellery and home décor items, and writes novels – these can all be found on the Shop page.

Please use the quick links above for manicure and/or make-up price lists, or to book an appointment. Gift vouchers and all products sold in the salon – removal kits, nail files, cuticle oil, etc. – can all be found in the online store. If you’re looking for blog posts, articles, answers to FAQs, or any other information, please use the menu bar above, or the three horizontal stripes if you’re on a mobile device.

To see a portfolio of Debbie’s work, please have a look at the Rambling Rose Nails’s Facebook page or find @ramblingrosenails on Instagram.

If you’re keen to train as a nail technician, use the affiliate code “RamblingRoseNails’ for 10% off any course enrolments at Monaco Nail Academy.

Nail art is charged at $2 per nail - to cover the Nail art is charged at $2 per nail - to cover the cost of decals, stamps, glitter, pigments, striping tape or any other items we use, plus my time - and you can have as much or as little as you like.  Mix and match, or add decals to stripes, or a hint of glitter on top of something else. 

Make sure to book an appointment WITH nail art, as I need the extra time allocation, and feel free to bring inspiration photos with you. If you change your mind on the day, that's totally fine.  I cannot do art if you've booked a plain colour gel mani as there just isn't time before my next client.

'Foxy' is a dark red crème perfect for any time o 'Foxy' is a dark red crème perfect for any time of year.

I'm often asked why I choose to use the brand that I do:
- Artistic Colour Gloss cures in only 30 seconds using the Artistic LED Cure Box.
- it has a high gloss that shines up to 21 days.
- I can custom blend colours to match your outfit or lipstick (I have over 100 colours to choose from)
- and it soaks off quickly and completely - in minutes - without any damage to natural nails.
