Derby-based nail designer, KARIMA EDWARDS, showcases her creativity & unveils her favourite products & techniques

Name – Karima Edwards

Age – 30

Business name – Kreated By Kae

Location – Derby

Years in nails – Three

Trained with – Lux Beauty Training Academy

Favourite products – I go through phases when it comes to nail art and design product choices, but am currently enjoying using chrome pigments from Nail Stamping Queen UK, 3D gel and putty. These are versatile products that allow me to create a variety of looks. I also like to use HONA’s Peely Base when creating nail designs for social media, as it allows me to quickly and simply peel gel polish off the natural nail without causing damage.

Favourite nail technique – Anything that requires a nail art brush and sparks my creativity.

Favourite nail design – Gemstone nails, as I love the depth of the style and that I can use a range of colours to create eye-catching looks.

Career ambition & vision – I want to be successful at doing what I love. I aspire to work with more brands in the future and elevate my content creation.

Who do you admire in the industry?

There are so many creative nail technicians whose work inspires me, including @sansungnails, @diananailedit, @anouskaanastasia and @heygreatnails on Instagram.
