Article by Alisha Rimando | Published in 2024

The Fall 2024 runway shows have set the stage for an exciting season of fashion, with trends that not only capture the imagination but also provide endless inspiration for creative nail art. At GlossaryLive.com, these runway trends are meticulously analyzed and transformed into wearable art that your clients can flaunt every day. Under the expert guidance of World Champion Alisha Rimando, this season’s nail designs are all about embracing the latest fashion trends and translating them into chic, eye-catching looks that will leave a lasting impression.

This season, the runways were awash with pinks and stripes, with monochromatic pink looks and varied striped patterns dominating the collections of major fashion houses such as Stella McCartney, Prada, and Chanel. The use of soft mauve tones, combined with pinstripes and bold color blocks, made these shows truly stand out. These elements are perfect for creating modern, elegant nail art that reflects the vibrant energy of the season. Consider designing nails that incorporate various pink hues, accentuated by either subtle or striking stripes, to bring a touch of runway glamour to everyday wear.

A Nail Journey of Passion & Empowerment

Article by Alex Fox | Published in 2024

In 1995, Alisha Rimando embarked on a journey that would forever change the landscape of the nail industry. Starting as a nail technician in a salon, Rimando quickly discovered her passion for teaching and educating others in the art of nail enhancements. This love for sharing knowledge propelled her into the role of a global educator, competitor, and hand model for renowned World Champion, Tom Holcomb.

Under the tutelage of Holcomb, Rimando honed her skills and techniques, eventually achieving her own World Championship title in 2005 for pink & white sculptured nails. This victory marked a significant milestone in her career and solidified her reputation as a master in the field of nail styling.

In 2008, Rimando took another leap forward by contributing to the 6th edition of Milady Nail Technology. Since then, she has authored or contributed to over 10 textbooks and supplements for Cengage Learning, including Standard Cosmetology. Rimando’s dedication to education and innovation has earned her numerous accolades and honors throughout her illustrious career.

Based in New York City, Rimando’s proximity to the fashion capital enabled her to become a session artist for magazines and designers during New York Fashion Week. Her work even caught the attention of celebrities, leading to a feature in Jennifer Hudson’s ‘Spotlight’ music video. Additionally, Rimando served as the training director for Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spas, where she trained over 360 nail techs across 31 locations in the USA.

The passing of her mentor and best friend, Tom Holcomb, in 2011, spurred Rimando to recommit herself to the professional market and resume teaching the methods of nail enhancements he had imparted to her. Over her 28+ year career, Rimando’s 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, Rimando brings her wealth of experience and passion for the industry to GlossaryLive.com, a platform dedicated to honoring her mentor and celebrating the contributions of nail artists worldwide. Through GlossaryLive.com, Rimando continues to inspire and empower the next generation of nail stylists, fostering a community of creativity, collaboration, and excellence.
