THE TOP COAT: Tracy of @tracykawaii

Tracy is a New York City-based nail tech who posts the most kawaii (cute in Japanese!) nail art and pics of her pups Eevee and Finn on her Instagram,  @tracykawaii. Tracy's work has been featured on POPSUGAR, Harpers Bazaar, and Elite Daily. I am a nail artist born in Seoul, Korea; adopted and raised in Queens, NY. Started doing nails six years ago. I tend to gravitate towards floral designs and sparkles.  How did you come to know of Cirque Colors? I got introduced through working events with LadyFancyNails! What's the question you're asked most as a nail tech? “Why do my cuticles get so dry?” “Is gel really bad for your nails?” Favorite step when it comes to doing manicures? Worst? Favorite : pushing back on cuticles. Worst : smudging the color during top coating or right after. We're in love with your pups Eevee and Finn! Can you tell us a little about them? (Can we get pics? Haha!) They’re a silly pair that have grown on each other during quarantine. Eevee is 7 y/o while Finn is a little over a year old, so she taught him how to dog. He loves to annoy her which I call, “kneading the loaf.” Any tips for anyone who wants to paint their nails like a professional? Practice, practice and practice some more. If you practice painting a line on your nail everyday or even every week, you’re going to see your line work has improved. Your top 3 Cirque Colors products? I LOVE all your glitter/holo options I can’t honestly just pick one. I’m a sucker for sparkles and these shades are so unique. Any questions you want answered?
