Shelley Laxminarayan

With her roots lying in South Africa, in 2004 Shelley began her nail adventure at the Dream Nail Academy in Paarl, where she attended intensive training to become an All Round Nail Technician in a small group of four people. “I’m incredibly grateful to Sheila, the educator there, for her style of teaching, as she taught me the profession well. “Back in the Netherlands I combined my nail profession with my hairdressing career and in 2009 I opened my own nail salon. In 2018, I was one of the nominees for Nail Talent of the Year where I reached second place. I was so surprised and proud. I then started training for my first national competition and reached 3rd place, this was when my competition fever struck. In the years that followed, I’ve participated in many competitions, nationally and internationally. I’ve always won prizes so far, and can proudly say that I’m a national and international champion. I’m an educator for the LoveNess nail brand, whish I teach with passion, as I love to share my knowledge and watch students’ grow. Education is key to success in this industry.”

International educator, judge, award-winning nail professional, coach, consultant and columnist, Tracey Lee, born in south Africa, now lives in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. “I’m blessed to have discovered the amazing world of nails after relocating to The Netherlands. My experience in education and training in South Africa stood me in good stead, as after completing a nail course to be able to do my own nails, I was later invited to join an education team where I became director of education & product development during my 10-year tenure. “
“In 2016 I took on the role of independent international educator and a world of opportunities opened up for me. Entering Nails magazine’s Next Top Nail Artist competition, was a life-changing event. It was not only the win that had an impact on my skills and my career, the entire journey through the competition made me a better nail professional. My motto is KEY: Keep Educating Yourself. I continue to do this and share my knowledge and experience with others through education.
“I could never have imagined at the beginning of my journey into nails that there would be so many opportunities and avenues in this dynamic industry. I’m looking forward to all the possibilities it has to offer.”
