About Us šāØ
Iām SiĆ¢nĀ , the creator and founder of Nailcraft. Iāve been an active nail artist for about 15 years give or take, so when I began the process of creating Nailcraft, I knew exactly what I was looking for.
A little about me - Iām aĀ thirty-somethingĀ š fromĀ Glasgow, ScotlandĀ š“ó §ó ¢ó ³ó £ó “ó æ. I grew up in a wee village calledĀ Old Kilpatrick, just on the western outskirts of Glasgow. Itās the most stunning, homely place (I might be a bit biased), though I donāt live there anymore - for all you nosy Normans out there!
Iām a total book and film addict and love anythingĀ Dark Fantasy, Horror, or Romantasy. I also have a huge interest inĀ Paranormal investigation and Wicca, which probably explains why Nailcraft has such a witchy, mystical vibe woven through everything I do. āØ
Iām married to the ever-patientĀ Mr Nailcraft, who puts up with my wild ideas and ambitions - but Iām so lucky to have someone so supportive, because without him, Nailcraft might never have come to life.
Iām also a big animal lover! I share my home with aĀ German Shepherd named JasperĀ and two cats -Ā Basil, a mischievous black-and-white tuxedo rascal who constantly screams for attention (and feigns starvation despite being the most spoiled beast in Scotland), andĀ Bella, my full-black cat and ultimate soulmate. I rescued her 13 years ago as the runt of her litter - I was told she wouldnāt survive and to just keep her comfortable. Well, sheās still here, sleeping on my pillow every night and making biscuits in my hair ⦠so I mustāve done something right!
When it comes toĀ Nailcraft, it all started as a small idea back in the lockdown days. In early 2020, I launched a wee press-on nail business calledĀ āNAILCRAFT Press-OnsāĀ Ā and honestly? It was a total flop, and I hated every minute of it! š But that experience planted a seed thatās grown into what Nailcraft has become today and I couldnāt be more excited, proud ⦠and scared if Iām being honest! Ā
My main priority with Nailcraft has always been toĀ stay true to myselfĀ and to create products thatĀ I would use in my studio, and to use my experience as a current active Nail Tech to my advantage while building this brand from the ground up.
Even theĀ branding, products, and shade namesĀ are carefully chosen and inspired by the things I love - youāll notice plenty of references to my favourite films, books, and characters. Each shade and product even has its own wee story, so make sure to read those as you browse the site. āØ
Iām constantly working on new creations and refining existing ones, so you may notice evolving formulas or updated packaging as the brand grows. Nailcraft is aĀ work in progress, built with passion from my own wee nail studio - and right now, itās very much aĀ one-woman show⦠but thatās all part of the fun!
So buckle up, grab some snacks, and come along for the ride ⦠because this is only the beginning.
Love & Moonlight,
