Welcome to Topaz Nail Design.....

My name is Lisa Wightman and I am a Creative Nail Design, Master Nail Artist, based in South Shields.

I first got "into" nails through my love of art and the first course I passed was Nail Airbrushing design. This soon led to a passion for all things nails! From there I decided that if I was going to enter into the world of nails, that I would do so with the industry leader...."Creative Nail Design".

Their reputation within the industry for products, training and support is second to none, and their beautiful enhancements have graced the pages of many top magazines. Creative's commitment to the care of the natural nail is fundamental to their success. I do NOT want to apply products to your nail that are detrimental the health of your nails and skin. My job is to make what Mother Nature gave you more pleasing to the eye AND healthier.

Although I currently have 12 certificates from "Creative Nail Design" and attained my Master qualification in Liquid and Powder in 2007, I am committed to a programme of continual learning. I intend to reach Master status in all services within the next 2 years. If you ever read on my site that I am unavailable for a couple of days due to training, this does not mean that I do not currently have adequate training. This means that I believe that the nail industry is constantly changing and evolving and the only way I can offer the best service to you, is to enrol on many and varied courses to ensure that YOU get the most up to date products, services and information available. I envision taking refresher courses throughout my whole career, not because I need to have further education, but, that I owe it to you as a client to give you the best!
