THE FACE BEHIND NUMBER NINETEEN NAIL STUDIO 

Hi, I'm Darry - qualified nail, brow and lash technician, proud owner of Number Nineteen Nail Studio and the Official Auckland Educator for The Gel Bottle Inc New Zealand Academy. 

My passion for nails and beauty began after moving back to the UK where I studied the VTCT Level 3 Diploma in Nail Technology with The National Training Salon Ltd. 

Once qualified I furthered my knowledge and expertise by training with The Gel Bottle Inc. Having completed my nail training, I then studied with one of the world's leading Brow and Lash brands, Yumi Lashes. 

Through my extensive training, I have gained an in-depth understanding of the science, anatomy and structure of nails, brows and lashes which I draw upon during client appointments.

I'm passionate about educating my clients on natural nail health, and believe this is the first step in providing a professional manicure. I love creating flawless manicures and pedicures, as well as expressing my creativity with nail art designs. Every client receives a bespoke service, which ensures your treatments are tailored to your individual needs and requests. 

As the Auckland educator for The Gel Bottle NZ Academy I offer ABT and Guild accredited courses which provide not only industry-recognised qualifications, but internationally recognised qualifications. The courses I teach are all designed to empower students with the essential skills and knowledge needed to become a success in the NZ nail industry. 


As a self-confessed animal lover, I only use the very best vegan, cruelty-free and environmentally-friendly products from around the world. These certified, professional and award-winning products are the highest quality with the lowest allergens meaning no nasty chemicals.
