Now
Here's what I'm focused on right now. This is a now page.

Rave Nailz
Rave Nailz is everything right now. We released something bold in January, and just took the next step with RaveGrip™, our first proprietary mold. After 10+ years of doing this, I've learned that the designs people remember are the ones that make them feel something, and the products people stay loyal to are the ones that fit better than the alternatives.
I also published a full guide to our collection, walking through the sets that our customers keep coming back for. From the Rodeo French to the Glazed to the Midnight French, each one is designed by real nail artists to look and feel like a salon set. If you've been curious about press-ons but haven't tried them, that's a good place to start.
I also got to sit down with Melanie Barr on She Built It® to talk through the journey from hand-painting nails for friends to building a brand. We dug into the creative tension, the manufacturing fears, the unexpected bestsellers, and what it really means to stay founder-led as you scale.
And we collaborated with PatBO at New York Fashion Week for her Latin Soul collection. Every model on the runway wore Rave Nailz. That was a huge milestone and proof that press-ons belong in high fashion.
Expanding Everywhere
We're on Amazon with Prime shipping, which has been a long time coming. We also launched into college bookstores through Follett, starting with Indiana University, Texas Tech, Stanford, and a few others. That opportunity came after I won an Indie Beauty Award and spoke at Beauty Connect LA.
In March we popped up at SXSW with a manicure bar and watched people wait two hours for a set. That's the kind of demand signal you build a company around. We're still partnered with Insomniac for EDC Las Vegas too, running a manicure bar in the artist lounge. Nails and music festivals have always been connected for me. That's where this whole thing started.
Life in Austin
I live in Austin, Texas. My background is in graphic design for the dance music industry, and that creative energy still drives everything I do with Rave Nailz. Drug Store News interviewed me about how press-ons are going to replace the salon. I believe that. We're building the new standard for nail art.
