Not every needs flowers and sunshine... sometimes a girl needs a little drama. 🖤✨
For the Gala, I leaned into my darker side with this gothic-inspired set in shades of silver, gray, and black by my forever nail artist
These nails felt like the perfect extension of my personal style—equal parts fashion, art, and attitude. A little rock-and-roll, a little couture, and just enough sparkle to keep things interesting.
Tell me... are you a bright-and-cheerful nail lover or do you secretly love a moody manicure too? 🖤
No spoilers this year… just the reveal after and
Gala.
A little insight into the “why” behind the look.
Because fashion speaks before we do.
And life is too short not to say something unforgettable.

This month’s is giving medieval Y2K in the best way ⚔️💿🖤
This entire set was vision — from the first sketch to every dark, edgy little detail. I love how each nail has its own personality while still feeling perfectly connected together. A little armor, a little attitude, a little early-2000s rebellion… honestly obsessed.
Creative minds like this are what keep nail art so exciting.
Now I’m curious… when you create a mix-and-match set, how do you plan it out? Do you sketch first or let the ideas evolve nail by nail?
This video shares the powerful story of family and — a legacy that helped shape the nail industry as we know it today.
I'm honoured to carry forward this decades‑long legacy as this year’s Nail Industry Legacy Award recipient, recognizing not just one journey, but all the educators, artists, and leaders who built this industry with passion and purpose.
In honour of those who paved the way, we hope you’ll consider donating to the I Heart Nails – Scholarship Fund, supporting the next generation of nail professionals and keeping this legacy alive. 💅✨
Together, we honour the past and invest in the future.
Sometimes all you need is some fancy 💩 on your nails to feel like a new person.
Thanks to for always making my nails 🔥

47 years ago today, in 1979, a dream began in our family home with Mom, Dad, and my siblings.
A spark shared between my brother Jim and me, two young dreamers imagining a new future for the professional nail industry.
Jim was my co-founder for the first 18 years of that journey. His creativity, brilliance, and belief helped shape our earliest breakthroughs. His impact was foundational.
As I look back on 46 years of carrying this mission forward, this family photo from 1979 reminds me of the roots: family, courage, and the belief that we could build something meaningful.
Jim — your part of the story will always matter.
And today, as we celebrate CND’s 47th anniversary, I honor both where we started and all that has grown since.
Here’s to legacy, innovation, and the people who help spark the journey. 💛
