Personal biography: Nails, nails & more nails for the past 18 years. This is my hobby, my job & my inspiration. Helping my beloved students improve, teaching them the right techniques & achieving success!
Why you believe in nail competitions?: I believe in nail competitions because they inspire excellence & creativity in the industry. These competitions push nail technicians to hone their skills, stay updated with the latest trends & strive for perfection. They provide a platform to showcase talent, gain recognition & learn from others in the field. Competitions also foster a sense of community & camaraderie among participants, driving the entire industry forward.
Additionally, they help build confidence & professionalism, as participants receive valuable feedback from judges & peers. For me, seeing my students succeed in these competitions & grow in their careers is incredibly rewarding.
Advice to competitors: As a nail competitor, continually challenge yourself to expand your creative horizons & refine your precision; true mastery & excellence in nail design lie in the attention to detail & the constant pursuit of innovation.
