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.
