Penny Barns
Burleigh Heads QLD Australia•0415777545
I’m a nail professional with over 30years in the industry working full time as a nail tech for myself at @pennysnailbar . Originally starting out using acrylic, fibre glass, prescription nails then falling in love with gel in the early 90s.

I used biosculpture for 18 of those years and was a biosculpture educator for a few of those years. In 2017 I switched over to GelBottle and have never looked back. I am now an educator for The GelBottle Academy Australia. My work has been featured in BRITISH VOGUE for my Lip Gloss Nail looks.

I am creative and love to hand draw nail art although now I’m a little older I love just doing classic simple nails. I find I am at my happiest behind my nail table looking after my regular clients and their nail health. My tip to any newbie - never stop learning - even after 30 years in the industry we all need to keep up to date with education and nail knowledge is the perfect platform for us all - with so many new products in the market it is always best to learn how to apply them correctly and know what is best for the client sitting in front of you.

We are not just painting pretty nails.
