BACK TO BEAUTY COOL

September 2025 @ The National Beauty Academy Sunderland

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

Elle ventured into the NBA straight from secondary school and through our demonstrations, masterclasses and practice, she uncovered a passion for the craft of nail enhancements and nail art!

On her 16th birthday, her first port of call was to secure a space on 4 Day Training Courses with us (Ultimate Brows, Brow Lamination, Lash Lift and Tint and Builder Gel and Builder Extensions) Elle has since achieved multiple ABT Accredited Certificates, allowing her to secure beauty insurance and take on paying clients.

Coupled with patience, precision and creativity – she discovered her talent for delivering high quality treatments.
Her gift truly shines through the detail of her nail artistry in every set she produces @_nailsbyelleee

BROWN AND BERRY LIPS

This autumn, rich berry shades are taking centre stage from deep plums to warm cranberry tones. Perfect for both day and night, these shades add instant sophistication and pair beautifully with cozy fall outfits.

Product Spotlight:

Pro Tip: Prep lips with a nourishing lip balm first to ensure smooth application and prevent dryness in cooler weather.

TRENDING HAIR TONES

As we shift into Autumn, hair colour is all about warmth, depth and richness. Think soft caramels and silky, conker tone brunettes!

One of the major trends is the “cashmere blonde” – soft beige strands with honey or caramel undertones, offering a luxe look without the high maintenance upkeep.

For brunettes, deep mocha and pecan pie brown hues are taking centre stage, enriched with warm highlights to bring dimension and glow. And if you’re feeling bold, the deep burgundy tone is emerging as one of the most searched autumn colour changes.
