Colour-loving Plymouth nail pro, JESS MUIR, unveils her creative designs & career aspirations
Name – Jess Muir Age – 24
Business name – Jessrainbownails
Location – Plymouth, Devon Years in nails – Two
Favourite nail technique – Anything classed as nail art! I enjoy getting creative and dreaming up new ideas.
Favourite nail design – No designs are off limits, but I’m happiest when creating colourful mix ‘n’ match nails. I’m a fan of summery shades and styles, and am keen to dabble in 3D creations.
Trained with – I enrolled on a nail course with Magpie Beauty educator, Sophie Smith, in 2022, and have trained with her many times since. I was her client for eight years, so she was my first choice for training when I decided to enter the nail sector.
Favourite products – Magpie Beauty’s BUILD IT Builder Gel is an essential in my nail kit. Self-levelling, the formula is chip and lift resistant and my favourite shade is Pom Pom, a natural-looking pink. For nail art, I use Magpie Beauty ARTYgels, as they are highly pigmented and easy to work with.
Career ambition & vision – I’m delighted with my career progress to date, and want to continue developing my skills and welcoming new clients.
I love my current role, but would like to run my own salon one day.
Who do you admire in the industry? There is so much talent in the nail world, but Sophie Smith (@sophrainbownails) inspired me to join the industry, and I wouldn’t be where I am now without her support. I also admire the work of @nailsbab, @gxbbydoesnails and @thats.handy on Instagram.
