Need Nail Friends?

Need Nail Friends?

The nail industry can be quite isolating for many who work from home, mobile, or as a stand-a-lone tech in a busy beauty or hair salon. Everyone needs motivating from time to time, everyone needs to grow in their work and be inspired by others. Networking in nails is essential for both your business growth and your mental wellbeing. Alex Fox stresses the power of meeting like-minded people and other nail artists in the powerful, energized space of the nail competition arena.

ARTIST OF THE MONTH

Dafne Fernández

Learn more about the person behind Nailympia Mexico, who's making a global footprint for nail mastery from her nail academy in Mexico City.

Article by Alex Fox | Published in 2023

Working as a nail professional since 2009, Dafne Fernández, known for both her nail sculpture, structure and art skills, is the founder and owner of Stanzy Nails & Beauty, Botica Puré, Mano Santa Nail Art and the director of the Stanzy Academy in Mexico City. Dafne became globally renowned after taking the role of global educator for Artistic Nail Design from 2012-2018. A champion tech, Dafne has won accolades in Orlando, Vegas, Pasadena and at the first Nailympia Canada in 2019. Dafne is an international judge, who has educated in Japan, the USA, China, Turkey, The Netherlands, the UK, Russia, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, New Zealand, Australia and Greece. She’s also the host of Nailympia Mexico and the forthcoming Nailympia Brazil.

“I wanted to host Nailympia in my region because I believe that competitions are necessary in order to build and grow as a nail professional. This activity sets high standards and challenges that a competitor must work through in order to participate. As each element of competition tests the nail tech, abilities are realised and then stretched, skills and creativity are raised and the nail professional finds their purpose as success is enjoyed.”

Something to Blog About

A new weekly nail blog from GlossaryLive.com

Article by Alisha Rimando | Published in 2023

As we move into year 2 for GlossaryLive with a new look and feel on our home page, we realized we wanted to connect more often with our audience instead of each season or month with our Newsletter. We thought it would be even more fun to reach out weekly through a blog. This way, we can offer more frequent gossip on celebrity sitings, the latest nail news from around the globe as well as bring you the hottest trends as they are coming out and other pro advice we collect along the way. This blog will be a great place to share our nail life with you, and you with us! If you have any news, pro tips or advice you would like to share, please reach out to us in our contact section. We would love to hear from you and feature your awesome nail art!
