Gothic Almond

Starting out as a nail tech in 2012, in her home country of Romania, Andreea moved to London in 2013 and realized her job was in fact her passion.

“I discovered nail competitions in 2014 and have since won multiple national and international titles. My biggest achievement was winning the Top UK Tech Division 3 trophy at Nailympia London 2022, but it won’t stop there. I hope one day to win a Global Cup and get to judge nail competitions around the world.

“During my 10 years in the nail industry, I’ve trained with multiple nail educators, as I believe personal development is extremely important to my career path. I’ve always wanted to run my own salon and academy, and I’m happy to announce this dream came true in September 2022, when I opened Andreea Nails Salon & Academy in central London. I believe you can do anything you set your mind on, but one thing is for certain, ‘dreams do come true if you work hard for them’.”

ALISHA RIMANDO

In 1995 Alisha Rimando started her journey in the nail industry working in a salon and soon became an educator. She immediately fell in love with teaching and found herself traveling the world as an educator, competitor and hand model for World Champion, Tom Holcomb. Working alongside him, she studied his techniques and after 10 years she achieved her World Championship title in 2005 in the art of pink and white sculptured nails.
In 2008 Alisha moved to New York and took another leap in her career by contributing to the 6th edition of Milady Nail Technology. Since 2008 Alisha has authored and/or contributed to more than 10 textbooks and supplements for Cengage Learning including Standard Cosmetology and continues this honor year after year.
Being so close to NYC Alisha became a session artist for magazines, designers at NY Fashion Week and was even featured in Jennifer Hudson’s Spotlight video. She also spent 3 years as Training Director at Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spas where she earned her reflexology license and trained over 360 nail technicians in 31 locations across the USA in the art of natural nail care.
When her mentor and best friend, Tom Holcomb passed in 2011 she was compelled to rejoin the professional market and resume teaching the methods of nail enhancements he had taught her. Over her vast 25+ year career her work has been featured in hundreds of trade publications worldwide and she has conducted training seminars for nail students, professionals, and top educators in more than 25 countries.
Now she brings her experience and passion for the industry to GlossaryLive, a passion project to honor her mentor and celebrate the nail artists of the world.
