Manchester-based nail stylist, GRACE EVANS, shares her bold & chromatic nail creations alongside career ambitions & product picks

Name – Grace Evans

Age – 30

Business name – Nail Huns

Location – Manchester

Years in nails – Four

Trained with – BACE Academy, Manchester

Favourite products – For detailed nail art creations and fine lines, I use Brillbird Brush & Go Colour Gels. Black hue, GO2, is perfect for isolated chrome designs. The Brillbird 0 Brush – Long is great for painting intricate designs, and I also love the Compressed Chrome Nail Powders from Home Of Nail Art (HONA), as they offer amazing shine.

Favourite nail technique – Now I’ve mastered the isolated chrome technique, I like to use it whenever possible. It elevates nail designs and is very on-trend, meaning it’s popular with clients.

Favourite nail design – I enjoy creating abstract, mix ‘n’ match nail designs with bold colours. Summer is my favourite season for nail styles as clients often choose bright, funky art, which makes me happy.

Career ambition & vision – I will be opening a nail studio in the near future, and can’t wait to unveil it! I’m also keen to launch nail art masterclasses and complete educator training, so I can support fellow artists on their career journeys.

Who do you admire in the industry? There are so many, but nail designs by Rosie Lynall (@nails.bab)always catch my eye. Her creations are so detailed!
