"I am generally a creative person, so I do a lot of trial and error. Also, I keep up with social media nail trends by following nail techs all over the world to learn what the market is loving," she says.

Her evolution as a nail artist has not only amplified her technical abilities, but has also changed overall client experience, offering a blend of precision, personalization and convenience.

"A client can easily send an inspiration picture of a nail set they came across and I am able to get their nail sizes (using a picture of their hand) then I can paint the design for them," Celestine says.

"I stay on top of my social media game. I discover and learn a lot by being active on Instagram and 'Nail Tok'. Being a fast learner and being equipped with resources ensures I miss nothing; I jump on trends as they come strategically. It surely helps to offer new nail designs more affordably at nail bars before the trend dies or get cold," explains Celestine.

Her trajectory displays strategic progression within the industry, transitioning from service-oriented businesses to product-based ventures.

"I am proud of being financially stable through my nail business. I have started to diversify a private nail tech for mostly house calls as I work in my nail room. I am aiming to start a gel and nail supplies company under Boss Gyal very soon, which I am ecstatic about," Celestine says.
