ASK ALISHA
ARTICLE BY ALISHA RIMANDO | PUBLISHED IN 2026
As the new year begins, nail technicians everywhere start thinking about growth creatively, professionally, and personally. For this ASK ALISHA feature, the focus isn’t on one single voice or one conversation, but on something even more special: personal advice sent directly from industry leaders around the world, created just for our nail community.
For this project, Alisha Rimando reached out individually to respected educators, competitors, and artists across the global nail industry, asking one simple question: What should nail technicians focus on in the new year? What came back was a collection of thoughtful, honest video messages recorded specifically for our nail friends filled with encouragement, perspective, and inspiration drawn from real-life experience.
You’ll hear wisdom and motivation from voices like Michelle Soto, David Fowler, Dafne Fernandez, Zrinka Vuksan Balancha, Jenny Bui, Veronica Luviano, Lisa Boone, Alex Fox, Jenni Nippard, Damon Ho, and more. Each sharing insight shaped by years behind the nail table, on competition floors, and in education spaces worldwide.

Rather than quick tips or trend-driven sound bites, these messages speak to bigger themes that matter long-term: confidence, preparation, balance, growth, and believing in your value as a professional. This heartfelt advice provides a wide range of global perspective, allowing each nail technician to interpret and apply it in a way that fits their own career, goals, and season of life.
Short video clips from these industry leaders will be released across GlossaryLive social channels throughout early January, giving you moments of motivation you can revisit anytime. The full-length feature airs on the Nails From A to Z podcast, where listeners can experience the complete collection of voices and perspectives.
And this is only the beginning. Education and inspiration don’t happen in one post or one episode, they build all year long. Keep visiting GlossaryLive.com, following our socials, and tuning into the podcast to stay connected, inspired, and motivated as you continue to grow in 2026 and throughout your entire nail career.
