MG: When did you start your career?

At first, I became interested in this Nail World back in 2001. I officially started as a nail technician in 2004! So over 16 years, I do what I love the most!

MG: What do you like most about doing your nails?

I like to make people happy!

MG: Who was / was the biggest source of inspiration for your career as a nail technician?

There are many people I follow, both on YT and on IG. From each of them I learn and I learned a lot!

MG: Why did you start the Instagram channel?

I started the Instagram page, right after my Youtube channel, so I can post swatches and tutorials over there as well! I like to share my work and creativity with my community.

MG: What is your favorite nail tool / gadget?

Hmm, it's actually a combination of multiple ones. The manual and the electric file, the brushes...

MG: Do you have any favorite type of design that you like to create?

Oh, well...For a few months now, I have been really enjoying creating the Baby Boomer Nails and creating effects with glitter in various sizes. I can't stop!

MG: How many gels do you have? What are your 3 favorite Madam Glam gels?

I have so many...I can't really count them! My favorite? First- the Base Coat Gel- since I had the pleasure to get introduce to it, I only use this! Any gel polish color and the Builder Coral Gel.

MG: What's your best tip for getting beautiful and well-groomed nails?

For natural nails, you must always nourish the skin and cuticles with special creams and oils! Stay hydrated!

MG: Which celebrity would your dream client be? Why?

Haha, actually nobody! Why? Because when I get excited, I don't work really well...

MG: Do you have any advice or advice to share with our community, young and future nail tech or simply nail lovers?

I would say that passion makes us go really far! In order to become a good professional, one must inquire and follow valid courses but also be original and let his creativity flow around!
