Who You Admire In Industry: So, so many; veterans of my era but mostly I love watching the new nail artists evolve grow and come into their own
Top Technique You’ve Mastered: I believe we can always learn and improve – but I love the theory of colour and was always known for my speed techniques for service delivery
Advice to Competitors: Just do it! Challenge yourself and you won’t believe the difference in your work.
Hot Tip or Trick for Competitors: Manage your time, and remember to take the time to understand what the judges are looking for. Often the underside cleanliness has the same point value as other higher skill techniques – so can be an easy way to gain (or lose) points.
What Lockdown Has Taught You: There are hidden blessings everywhere, even in the state of uncertainty and fear.
A Funny Memory From Your Nail Desk: Actually I was on the comp floor, one of my first, where I accidentally stuck the tip to my finger and thumb when applying to my model! I was stuck to her, literally! And of course, no acetone on the floor – what a panic?! In the end I pulled myself free, laughed about it; but what a stress at the time!
An Affirmation You Love: ‘Calm Blue Ocean’ is my mantra, and ‘it’s all about the love’ are words I live by.
Why Nailympia: As it has a vibe like no other, high calibre in every way whilst maintaining approachability as well. Simply the best.
Any Workshops/Classes you Offer Online: Having moved out of the industry, my passion now is for helping women in their own personal growth and self-belief. I help women over 40 who have lost their mojo or sense of identity, rediscover their passion, sparkle and a deep sense of confidence and well-being; so that their true self can step into a brighter, juicier, happier stage of their lives; their own Fabulosity. I do this through my online membership programme.
