Meet your instructor ✳
I’ve always believed that nails are more than just polish—they’re tiny canvases for creativity, confidence, and self-expression. What started as a love for bold colours and intricate designs quickly grew into an obsession with perfecting techniques, mastering new trends, and transforming nails into wearable art.
But this journey wasn’t just about my passion—it was about the way I saw my clients light up when they looked at their hands. The joy, the confidence, the little boost of happiness a great manicure brings… that’s what made me realize I had to turn this into more than just a hobby. So, I took the leap, built my brand, and turned my dream into a thriving business.
