NP: What is a piece of advice you would give other nail technicians who are just getting started?ĪB: I would say if this is something you want to do, go for it! Figure out what you like and what you want your niche to be. Nature is one of the biggest inspirations for color palettes and texture. I have interviewed Co-Founder of CND Jan Arnold and world-renowned award winning nail artists, such as Viv Simmonds, Natalia Cukrowska and Ryoko Garcia.ĪB: I find inspiration mostly through nature. In my talk show, I cover topics such as art, beauty, fashion, NFTs, Web3 and Crypto. I wanted to provide a space for nail artists to not only share their perspective about the nail industry but to also share different styles of artistry. I have an online talk show on YouTube called Nails and Beauty Talk where I interview nail artists from around the world. Also, I love highlighting other nail artists. During my time competing in nail competitions, such as Nails Magazine's Next Top Nail Artist and Nailympia, I got so inspired by everyone's creativity and what they bring to the forefront within the competition side of the industry. Nail artists have a right to charge what they are worth for their work! Clients have to remember that nail services or press-on nails take time, work and an investment!ĪB: The thing I love about being a nail artist is that the possibilities are so endless with creating nail art. You have to be able to stand firm on what you do and what your morals are, especially when it comes down to pricing your services. You want to make everyone happy, but you can't. NP: What is the toughest part about your job as a nail technician/nail artist/salon owner?ĪB: I think the toughest part of being a nail artist can be sometimes setting boundaries. After high school, I went to Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) and received a BFA in Illustration and a minor in fibers, which is textile design involving natural dyeing, crocheting and felting. Then, I took Cosmetology courses from sophomore year to senior year of high school, and I got my license before I got into art school. By the age of 15, the time I was in high school, I wrote to Nailpro Magazine as well as Nails Magazine expressing my love for nails, and I got featured in both magazines. I also remember times where I went to the hair salon to get my hair done, and my hairstylist at the time would give me nail pro books to take home, and I would look at the nail art section all the time! I would practice different nail art techniques, ranging from one stroke painting to water marbling. I remember watching my mom get her nails done at the nail salon, and I was so fascinated by how the nail techs would do her nails. Nailpro 30 Under 30 winner Asia Bloodworth Nailpro (NP): Tell me a little bit about yourself! How did you get started, and why did you choose to become a nail tech?Īsia Bloodworth (AB): I started having an interest in nail art at the age of 14, around the time of high school.
