What inspired you to create a nail polish company?
“I’ve been a manicurist for 18 years, so launching a nail polish company was a logical next step. It also seemed like the perfect retirement plan and a wonderful way to leave a legacy for my children.”
How did you break into the business?
“One day while I was doing nails, a magazine editor nameed Dianne Hendy came into the salon, loved the service, wrote about it and invited me to be a manicurist on set for her magazine Black Elegance. There I met a celebrity makeup artist, Peter Brown, and he took me under his wing and trained me. He also introduced me to my agent Bradly Curry Management at my first show during New York Fashion Week. The rest is history.”
