Margarita Yutsaytis as our Artist of the Month. With 10 years in the nail industry, Margarita has become known for her exceptional skill in nail sculpting, manicures, and an endless variety of intricate nail designs.
Margarita’s journey didn’t begin in a studio—it started in a bank. Although she had loved drawing and experimenting with colors since childhood, life initially steered her toward economics. But everything changed when her mother suggested she take a manicure course, simply so she could do her mom’s nails. That spark lit a passion that couldn’t be ignored.
Working from home, Margarita built her skills, saved her earnings, and eventually rented her own space. As her client base grew, so did her reputation—not only as a talented nail artist but also as an educator. She began teaching individual lessons, then small group courses, and soon found herself speaking at nail marathons. Six months ago, Margarita entered the world of nail competitions, including Nailympia USA, where she connected with inspiring artists from around the globe.

Her artistry is fueled by inspiration found in unexpected places—street graffiti, hair color trends, fashion photography, and the vibrant beauty of birds and flowers from her travels. Each influence becomes a creative spark for unique shapes, colors, and textures in her designs.

Now, Margarita is sharing her artistry in a special three-part Hand-Painted Nail Design MasterClass on GlossaryLive.com. This exclusive series teaches layered painting techniques for tropical leaves, floral designs, and advanced tropical flowers, using transparent color layering to achieve breathtaking realism.
For Margarita, nail artistry is about more than beauty—it’s about connection, creativity, and freedom. She thrives on seeing the excitement in her clients’ eyes and the pride in her students’ accomplishments. “When my students succeed, I feel just as happy,” she says.

From a career in banking to becoming an internationally recognized educator and competitor, Margarita’s journey is proof that passion can truly transform a life—and inspire others to chase their dreams.
