OLYMPIA BEAUTY





The LeChat booth was absolutely buzzing at the Olympia Beauty Show this weekend.

It seems that the word has spread about LeChat nails products and we saw many people who are not satisfied with their current products performance or pricing that had been recomended the LeChat products.

We were so busy at our last show that we draughted in more educators this time, and visiting from the U.S.A were Yvette Holt, international educator and the owner of LeChat Nails Newton Luu.

NAIL ARCHITECTURE ACRYLIC BY LECHAT



Its nearly here !

The latest range of products from lechat are on their way to the U.K

I've been taking advantage of being the only person in the country to have the products, and can confirm that the new liquid and powder Nail Architecture range is every bit as good as LeChats fabulous gel line.

The range will be on sale to nail professionals very soon and there will be a sneak preview of the products at the Olympia beauty show next weekend.

Until then, here are some nails that i have done with the Nail Architecture acrylic.
