Pride Month will always be special to me. 🌈✨

As a proud pansexual, Pride isn't just something I post about once a year—it's a reminder of the importance of acceptance, community, and being able to show up as your authentic self.

Creating nails is my passion, but creating a safe and welcoming space for every client is just as important to me. ♡

Whether you're loud and proud, still figuring things out, or simply an ally, you're welcome in my chair.

Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💅🏼

🖤 The little black dress of manicures.
Timeless, effortless, and always in style.
Sometimes all you need is a fresh, glossy black set to feel put together✨

Clean. Bold. A little futuristic. A lot iconic. 💅🏼✨️

Being a beginner nail tech can feel overwhelming sometimes 😭✨
There’s SO much to learn beyond just pretty designs — prep, structure, retention, shaping, product control, and healthy nail care all matter.

When I first started, I honestly didn’t realize how much goes into creating a good set of nails. Every little detail makes a difference, and sometimes the smallest mistakes teach the biggest lessons💅🏼

These are some of the biggest mistakes I’ve learned from so far, and I’m still learning every single day. Growth definitely doesn’t happen overnight, but every set helps me improve my technique, confidence, and creativity a little more ♡

Some days are frustrating, some days are super rewarding, but I’m proud of myself for sticking with it and continuing to push through the learning process ✨

At the end of the day, progress > perfection always 🫶🏼
Thank you to everyone supporting me while I grow into the nail tech I want to become 🤍

Your retention says a LOT about the foundation of the set 👀✨

Nail prep is one of the most important parts of any appointment — even though it’s the part most people don’t notice.

Clean prep helps with: 
♡ retention
♡ cleaner application
♡ healthier natural nails
♡ smoother grow-out

Pretty nails don’t start with polish… they start with prep 💅✨
