Maisie, who lives in Grappenhall, said: “I love using builder gel as it encourages the natural nails to grow meaning my clients’ nails will grow to their desired length while still looking natural.

“I also love creating nail art, whether it’s a crazy colourful set or a simple sophisticated French tip.

“I decided to open my business because I’ve always wanted to work in the beauty industry.

“I’ve always loved art so painting nails and doing people’s makeup has been another form of art to me.

“After building up a client base with makeup, I then wanted to grow my business and start offering nail services.

“I studied with Future in Beauty and became qualified as a nail technician.

“I started my self-employed career straight away so have built my client base from scratch over the past two years.”
