Nail Art 101 Biography
Source(Google.com.pk)
Hello there! My name is Lisa and I'm the girl behind the glittery curtain here at Nail Art 101. I'm a certified nail technician who got really bored making artificial french tip nails and ran away to join the nail art circus. I’ve always enjoyed finding ways to make my nails, and myself, stand out from the crowd. Why blend in when you can sparkle? Even when I was a kid I used to break into my mom’s nail supplies and use all her mermaid water decals. I started doing more complicated nail art in 2010 and never looked back. Eventually I was spending so much time trying to explain to the women I met how I did a pastel gradient on my nails, that this site just seemed like the most logical next step.
Since Nail Art 101 began in 2011 it has become one of the most popular nail art resources on the internet. I love sharing tutorials with girls and women of all ages and seeing them utilize the techniques they’ve learned from this site. Girls have emailed me from India to Colombia telling me how my website and doing nail art has inspired them and helped break them out of their shell. This is the ultimate reward for me. My passion in life is finding ways to express yourself in a unique, colorful manner and nail art is a great place to begin. It might start with a simple leopard print manicure, but once you realize how fun it is to be fabulous you’ll be wearing hot pink lipstick and rainbow wigs in no time!
This is me!
My first nail polish collection was released in collaboration with Nailtini this April and is still available through their website for a limited time. It’s a three piece collection inspired by my beautiful readers and glittery life. It also comes with two mixing bottles so you can start whipping up your own creations!
Thank you so much for taking the time to visit and if you’re a first time reader here is a great place to start!
