Name – Grace Warren-Holland
Age – 22
Business name – Gels by Gracie
Location – Portsmouth
Favourite nail technique – I enjoy creating prescriptive treatments to ensure that each client has a tailored experience, and I regularly use builder gel to enhance natural nails.
Favourite nail design – Funky and colourful designs make me happy, but so do French tips and clean, minimal looks.
Time in nails – Three years
Trained with – I began my nail industry journey with Glitterbels and have since completed training with Bio Sculpture, and immersed in various online courses.
Favourite products – I love the OPI GelColor range – particularly the Big Apple Red shade. I’m also drawn to the brand’s Mod About You hue, a light pink. I pair both shades with OPI’s GelColor Super Gloss Top Coat for the ultimate glossy finish!
Career ambition & vision – I have recently opened my own studio after working in a salon for a number of years. My next goal is to launch a training academy, from which I can teach masterclasses.
Who do you admire in the industry? There are so many people that I look up to, but I have followed Faye Louise Dennis (@fayelouisedennis) and Julia Diogo (@paintedbyjools) since the start of my career. I also admire Anouska Anastasia (@anouskaanastasia), as she is so talented and I love her artistry.
