Shades of Black & White NAILS of 2012

Where did all the time go ? Again 2012 is another eventful year full of goals, anticipation, reflection and success of sorts. I'm grateful for the wonderful people around me and all the ups and downs that makes me a stronger person and hopefully a better one.

2012 has been very good for our education team as I'm very proud of their achievements. They've really worked hard and I'm so pleased to see a lot of the new ones start coming out of their shell to develop their full potential. A team dedicated to the skill and development of nail artistry and good practices is what we want to build on.

2013 is going to be a new exciting chapter of our career as Viv and I have embarked on producing a new line for Odyssey. I also need to start working on a new book soon ~ so many ideas and so little time.

Happy New Year 2013 and stay tuned for many wonderful things to come !

 

 

Michelangelo Inspiration on Nails

The Pieta by Michelangelo

 (The Archangel Gabriel)

 

(L-R : Joseph, Mary, Baby Jesus, Lamb)

 

I have marvelled at the work of Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel and all over the Vatican in Rome, no artist in our time can possibly create what he did without the divine gift from God. It is truly amazing that I had to express this inspiration in my "Nativity" - Christmas themed nails, the true Gift of Christmas.

 

 

The ONE Gel Japan Tour - Tokyo & Osaka 2011

I've spent several years in Singapore working with Japanese expatriate nail students at my training centre, and it is indeed very special for me to be able to train the nailtechs in their own land during the recent Tokyo and Osaka tour. It is also important to note that the nail styles of Japan greatly influenced the nails in South East Asia to date, but Japan is also opening up to learn different styles of nails and nail art that we are bringing to their shores. I'm very excited with this development and Odyssey Nail Systems have made all this possible with their global presence.

MBC Nail Elite Class - Season 4

Another successful season for the MBC Academy Elite Class in Korea, these girls are a joy to work with, the class was packed with talent, passion and enthusiasm - makes me love my job even more !

Back in the Netherlands!

Holland never fail to take my breath away.....this time I got a chance to experience the suburbs and see the windmills upclose and take in the beautiful and colorful surroundings. It was great to catch up with my Dutch friends and fellow educators.

Had an amazing time working with the class full of nail lovers, of course !

The ONE Gel paint

Hans from Profnail is so cool, he's sporting a Christmas demo nail by me and... doesn't this pose remind you of a character from a movie ? ;) :)

More Gel Painting Magic

Miniature Gel Painting Workshop in Taiwan

Step by step demonstration

I had a very talented class of award winning nail techs and they have made me reflect that 

all art is an individual expression of culture. Well done girls !

Miniature Gel Painting

The new generation gel paint can help you achieve amazing details from start to finish without having to flash cure in between. More and more nail techs are keen to learn this new technique and it is no longer an impossible feat for any newbie in art to learn this. Since the launch of the ONE Gel, I have spent a great deal of time developing this painting technique so that it can also be applied to salon work with ease.
