Oksana Smi Nail Artist

❄️Creating stunning hand-painted nail designs requires practice, creativity, and the right techniques. Here are some essential tips to elevate your designs:

1. Prep Your Canvas*
- Clean Surface:Wipe the nail with a cleanser to remove any dust or oils before starting.

2. Use the Right Tools*
- Detail Brushes: Invest in thin, high-quality nail art brushes for precision (e.g., liner brushes, fine detail brushes).
- Dotting Tools:Great for polka dots, flowers, or other rounded designs.

3. Thin Layers are Key
- Apply paint or gel polish in thin layers to avoid bulkiness.
- Allow each layer to cure before adding details.

Add Dimension and Detail
- Use layering techniques to add depth. Start with the base design and build details
- Add highlights and shadows for a more 3D effect.

5. Seal with a Quality Top Coat
- Use a no-wipe gel top coat for a glossy finish or a matte top coat for a different effect.

6. Practice Makes Perfect
- Use practice tips or wheels to refine your skills.
- Try recreating trending designs to build your confidence.

Today, I’m celebrating another year of life—a year of growth, love, and discovering the beauty in both big and small moments. I’m grateful for every lesson, every laugh, and every soul that has added color to my journey.

As I step into this new chapter, I’m embracing all that I am and all that I’m becoming. Life is a beautiful dance of ups and downs, and I’m learning to find joy, balance, and gratitude in every step. Here’s to loving more deeply, dreaming more boldly, and cherishing every moment.

«С днем ​​рождения меня!» 🥰✨

Сегодня я праздную еще один год жизни — год роста, любви и открытия красоты как в больших, так и в малых моментах. Я благодарна за каждый урок, каждый смех и каждую душу, которые добавили красок моему путешествию.

Вступая в эту новую главу, я принимаю все, что я есть, и все, чем я становлюсь. Жизнь — это прекрасный танец взлетов и падений, и я учусь находить радость, равновесие и благодарность на каждом шагу. Любовь глубже, мечты смелее и дорожа каждым моментом.

С днем ​​рождения меня — пусть этот год будет наполнен бесконечной любовью, смехом и светом. ✨💫

Hi, I’m Oksana! As I’ve recently gained many new followers, I thought it was the perfect time to introduce myself. Born in Estonia and moved to Uk 15 years ago. I’m a passionate nail technician with over 15 years of experience in the industry, and I’ve been the proud owner of my own salon for more than 10 years now.

My journey began with a love for creativity and a desire to make people feel confident and beautiful. Over the years, I’ve honed my skills and learned to combine timeless techniques with the latest trends to create nail art that my clients love.

Recently, I’ve also started creating nail content, and it has quickly become a new passion of mine! I love being able to share tips, tutorials, and a behind-the-scenes look at my creative process with all of you. It’s been an amazing way to connect with more people who share my love for all things nails. I’ve even had the opportunity to collaborate with a few brands, which has been such an exciting experience!

But beyond the salon and nail art, I’m also someone who loves exploring the world. Traveling is a huge passion of mine—I’m always looking for new places to discover and experiences to enjoy. I love capturing those moments with my drone, creating stunning aerial shots that show the world from a different perspective. I’m also a big foodie, always on the lookout for the next delicious dish to try, whether it’s street food or fine dining.


Most importantly, I’m a happy wife and a proud mom to my wonderful boy. My family is my greatest source of joy and inspiration. Balancing my roles as a mom, a wife, and a business owner has been an adventure, but it’s one I wouldn’t trade for anything.

Thank you so much for following along, and I’m excited to share my passion for nails, travel, family, and everything in between with each of you!
