Meet – Reni Mobrandt – Sweden

Get to Know a Nailympia Expert in 25 Steps…

NAME: Reni Mobrandt

Business name: Nail Systems of Sweden ab

Location: Uddevalla, Sweden

Nationality: Swedish

Who Trained You:  Anette Claesson and after that I’ve tried to meet and attend as many classes I could

Years in Nails: 20 years

Years Judging: 15 years

Nail Brand You Represent/Use: NSI & Leighton Denny Expert Nails

Role in Industry: Educator & distributor

Favourite Trade Exhibition: Cosmoprof, Olympia Beauty and the Swedish trade exhibition that we arrange, called CosmoNord. This is one of my domestic favourites.

Favourite Nail Tool: A couple of good files, so you can refine the sharpness and edge of the nail. I love sidelines

Favourite Book: Pippi Longstocking. She is the strongest girl in the world, but for sure also the bravest and with most courageous in a humble way.

Favourite Movie: Clue, and of course, The Rocky Horror Picture Show. This is the essence of the 80’s.

Favourite Food: Anything from Asia. A hot Indian dish or a sophisticated Vietnamese Pho.

Favourite Vacation Destination: Vietnam

Your Hobbies: Anything I can do in the kitchen. Cook, bake or making drinks! All three are on my top shelf.

What Inspires Your Work: Education! Seeing people develop and their happy smiles – on students and also on nails!

Who You Admire In Industry: Alla Kinder & Marian Newman. Artists that inspire in such a humble way. So much knowledge is given so freely share to everyone by them both. This is true inspiration in my mind. And of course, Olena Özman! Now we’re talking sharp nails with perfect sidewalls. Wow!

Top Technique You’ve Mastered: There are many others that really have Top Techniques so I cannot say I am in their league. What I do best is create platforms and guide others to reach beyond their top techniques. So, my Top Technique is that I can see what others can do better and how they can do it. With an eye for detail, I can see if the person is right or left-handed or how they work – just by seeing the nails.

Advice to Competitors: Focus, focus, focus during competition and share, share, share after competition.

 

Hot Tip or Trick for Competitors: Be prepared. Pack your competition bag way ahead of time, so you have everything you need. Files, forms, tips, implements… check your resin and take one or two extra with you. Good preparation will give you a good competition.

 

What Lockdown Has Taught You: Be happy for what you have every day. You do not know what you will have tomorrow. Anything you like to do – do it now!

 

A Funny Day/Memory At The Nail Desk: I had been working with nails for about a year. Then a man came into the salon and wanted to book an appointment. He wanted long black nails with glitter. I was so surprised and a bit nervous. During our conversation he told me about his life as a drag queen and I had one of my most fun and memorable appointments. Never judge what you see.

 

An Affirmation You Love: Believe that good things will happen, and they will.

 

Why Nailympia: They way Nailympia allows nail techs from all levels and all corners of the world come together and share. Share knowledge, share inspiration and share competition. And the way that Alex Fox puts everything together. The way Alex makes everything and everyone into a big family from competitors to judges, from coordinators to visitors. She makes us all share the passion for nails in the most beautiful way.
