Gilded Cages

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.”

Five Style French

When nail technicians want to exceed their limitations, to eveolve and move up to another level showcasing much more creativity with extravagant works of art, then this is a place to start. Designed especially for magazines, promotions, posters and presentations, the work must demonstrate advanced techniques with a flawless finish, nail perfection on an extreme nail. Just as fashion designers develop collections that incorporate day wear and extravagnant avant garde shapes and designs, the tech can do this in the nail realm. If a nail pro creates nails with very long length in original shapes and designs that are flawless, then surely their everyday working techniques will be elevated, inproved, admired and shortened.

"I hope these classes inspire you to compete and to have fun in the salon with your clients."
