I'd love to unlock stamping! I can't seem to get it right. I tried using pat pat gels and just have cheap shein stamp plates. Is that my problem? Also, where can I purchase a large rubber stamper from that covers a L - XL nail? Thank youuuu xx

Oh em gee 😭 I was going through an old external hard drive and found some of my sets from YEARS ago! It was actually so cool to come across because you can see the different names I've traded under before eventually settling on the one I loved most. It was a nice little reminder of how much can change over time. So if you’re a beginner and you’re looking at your work thinking “I’ll never be as good as everyone else” - keep going. Your sets will change. Your style will change. Your photography will change. Your branding might change. You might even completely rebrand 😂 You’re not supposed to have it all figured out yet. Keep going. Keep learning. Keep experimenting. You’re building something. 🫶

If you’ve seen me talking about GNDA lately and wondered what it actually is… GNDA = Global Nail Design Awards — a nail industry event celebrating nail artists, education, creativity and competition across the industry. I had the absolute best day! 🥹💅🏼 I got to see so much incredible nail art, meet and connect with other nail techs, learn, be inspired and, of course, compete with one of my own pieces! It was such a cool experience being surrounded by people who are just as obsessed with nails, creativity and pushing themselves as I am. I’m honestly so glad I decided to enter and be part of it. It was a huge learning experience, and I’ve come home feeling even more inspired to keep creating, experimenting and challenging myself. Definitely isn’t my last GNDA! 🤍🏆✨ Also a BIG congratulations to the other incredible icons who entered, and well done to those who took an award home 🤍🥹

Voting is officially OPEN 🤍 My Entry is #1018 Link: https://www.globalnaildesignawards.com.au/peopleschoice 4 years ago, I never thought I’d be doing nails. 3 years ago, I never thought I’d open my doors full-time. 2 years ago, I never thought I’d enter my first nail competition. And 4 months ago, I started creating my competition pieces. It’s honestly a little surreal seeing these pieces finished and officially entered. Competitors were encouraged to create a design that sits somewhere between wearable and editorial — and I had so much fun pushing my creativity and seeing where I could take this concept.
