Necessity is the mother of all invention.

And with all beauty and cosmetic services shut down for the foreseeable future as we wait out the Covid-19 lockdown, Cork’s beauty experts are getting creative to help their customers while they’re stuck at home.

If fresh, glossy nails are your favourite monthly indulgence, your fingers are probably looking a bit sad by now, but one Cork nail technician is ready to help. Jennifer O’Shea is now custom-painting faux nails to order and posting them to happy customers all over the city and county.

“Until you can come and get your nails done, I’ll send your nails to you!” says Jennifer.

“I’ll show you how to measure your own nails from your own home. Send me on your measurements and I will create a custom set of tips with gel overlay and Shellac to give the effect of a gel/acrylic nail, complete with glue, and post it out to you!”
