All That Glitters…Nail Stylings by Tanya

Color, design & texture are some of the simple life pleasures that can turn any rainy day into a bright beautiful one. This is exactly how I felt when I first discovered the craftsmanship of Tanya’s Gel Manicures. What was even more outstanding is the fact she started creating beautiful works of art just a brief time ago. Yes, nail craftsmanship is a piece of art. As she continued to perfect her skills, she did not focus on one area in the space but explored a multitude of avenues. A total rising star helping to brighten dim days through her nail art.


Gel Manicures: A Dreadful Endeavor? NO WAY!

First Gel Manicure by Tanya

When I think of Gel Manicures I envision a long day at the nail salon. Never did I stop and think these types of manicures can be done at home, let alone on yourself by yourself. The process takes a skilled hand which Tanya has demonstrated time and time again. Her very first attempt on an at home Gel Manicure is nothing short of perfection. The simplicity of the color choice is timeless and the gold line on the ring finger adds a touch of elegance. The nail shape is quite unique as it resembles an almond shape which is distinctly shown on the pointer finger. Nail shape is just as important, if not more than the other elements that make up such art. Nail shape helps portray an individual’s personality while still able to balance day to day endeavors. With the first process done, it sparked a fire that led Tanya to create more stunning nail art.


A huge benefit to Gel Manicures is the fact the color lasts for weeks at a time and does not chip. Perfect for a mom on the go (as myself), working women and all women who want a fabulous manicure that will last longer than a week and not chip after washing their hands. While the color change process may be long, it did not stop Tanya from continuing her journey. In fact, it broadened her horizons to explore an assortment of colors.

First Color Change by Tanya

Coral is a difficult color to apply on nails and Tanya has done so fantastically. My all-time favorite color that always reminds me of a tropical beach. The perfect color for summer and sipping cocktails at sunset. The amazement did not stop there. The current crystal/gem craze was then incorporated into Tanya’s nail art, forming a brilliant Quartz nail.


Fashion Forward & Divine

Quartz Nails by Tanya

Quartz, one of the most powerful gems which promote healing and can boost other gems. A great gem to keep in your home and on oneself. The simple visualization of Quartz can help a person tremendously and what better way to showcase then on one’s nails. A constant reminder of the healing properties of the stone, as well as, the stunning beauty it promotes. As Tanya continued in her work, it is evident her skill level increased tremendously and she is ready to continue exploring new techniques. Who is to say she will stop at Quartz? Many gems would look amazing as nail art such as Geodes, Druzy & Citrine.


The latest design by Tanya incorporates flowers. Once again, the color choice, nail shape, and design play perfectly and add such elegance. With the changing season soon upon us, the latest nail design is a great transitional piece. Perfect to wear with jeans and those final summer dresses.
