Ashley’s work nails it during royal visit to Edinburgh
A Wishaw nail technician had her handiwork praised by a future royal.
Ashley Toner said she was “buzzing for days” after one of her clients sent her a video of her meeting Meghan Markle on her recent royal trip to Edinburgh with Prince Harry.
In the video, a surprised Meghan spies the nails, freshly worked on by Ashley, and comments “Wow, look at your nails! That’s pretty fantastic.”
Now Ashley is preparing a letter to Buckingham Palace to see if the Queen is needing her nails done.
“I went back into work doing the royal wave,” said Ashley, from Cambusnethan.
“I’m already writing my letter to the Queen to see if she’s needing a top-up.”
Bubbly mum- of- two Ashley has been inundated with messages of congratulations since she shared d the video online.
Ashley was a dental nurse for 15 5 years before going back to college to o pursue her new career path.
She now works at Notorious Nails s studio in Coatbridge.
“All jokes aside this is a really big g deal for me personally,” she said.
“It’s incredible to have your work praised by someone like Meghan.
“I only started this properly about a year and a half ago. I had to go back to college for training but I’m so glad I did as this is such a great job.
“My boss was a bit unhappy it wasn’t her work!
“But really everyone at Notorious is chuffed to bits for me.”
Ashley’s husband Jason said he “couldn’t be more proud” of her.
He added: “She’s doing really well and she’s absolutely brilliant at it.
“Hopefully this will help her on her career path and help her fulfil her dreams.”
