MG: Who were/was the biggest inspiration/s for your nail technician career? 

My biggest inspiration would first be my oldest daughter having a career in something I love and enjoy inspires me to show her she can do the same. In relation to being in the Nail Industry, Mindy Hardy was my first and present inspiration. She shared her artistry with the world and it gave me something to look up too. There are many others who are apart of my everyday inspirations as well, Beth Livesay of Nails Magazine, Lauren Wireman, Tashina Green,Temeka Jackson, and Jan Arnold.

MG: Why did you start the Instagram channel? 

I started my Instagram after one of my long time clients, Yolonda Willis introduced it to me. I continue to have it to inspire other artist just as Mindy did for me.

MG: What's your favorite nail tool/gadget? 

My favorite nail tool is my creative mind. Second in line would be a Nail Art brush.

My favorite designs to create are Abstract and Out of the Box Art. I strive for originality, and things no one has ever seen nor done before!

I own over 1,000 gels. I can only choose 3? But there’s so many favorites...hmm, the Top 3 gels from Madam Glam are: Perfect White, Perfect Black, and Perfect Red!

I have 3 ladies I dream of servicing one day I cannot just choose one: Michelle Obama, Janelle Monae, and CARDI B!
