I’ve always been drawn to art and self-expression, and nails quickly became my favorite way to bring creativity to life. I started out just doing my own nails, but as more friends and family started asking me to do theirs, I realized I had something special. So I went to beauty school, and from that point on I never looked back.

It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. When I first started, my nails were wonky, and a single set could take four or five hours. I attempted designs way beyond my skill level, and with time I finally started getting them right. Social media gave me a space to showcase my work, connect with other artists and really refine my style. Over time I figured out exactly what kind of nail art I wanted to offer, and built a portfolio that truly represents me.

I specialize in hand-painted nail art: no stickers, no shortcuts, just pure creativity. I love bringing cartoons to life, creating intricate bling designs and pushing the limits of what’s possible on a tiny canvas. I want my clients’ nails to tell a story, whether it’s a favorite character or a bold statement piece. I’m most proud of how far I’ve come, from struggling with basic shapes to detailed freehand work, and I’m just getting started.
