SEARCHThe Ring Thing came about while brainstorming a series of tools that were made by nail techs for nail techs.
Holy Ring Thing! When my business partner/adopted big brother Lucien and I put our ideas together to create the Ring Thing, we had no idea the impact it would have on the industry and ourselves! It is such an honor to have created something that nail professionals have found useful and are excited to own.
The Ring Thing came about while tossing ideas back and forth to create a series of tools that were made by nail techs for nail techs. So often we adapt to tools made for other parts of the industry to help us get by. Our plan is to come up with things made to be used for nails specifically with features that make a professionals work day a little easier. This falls right in line with the premise of Empower Nail Art which is “Created for you to Create.” We both had ideas for what the Ring Thing should be able to do and seeing it come to life has been an amazing journey. Thank you to everyone who has embraced it, bought it, posted photos, and even blogged about it!
I would love to see what you are doing with your Ring Thing! Whether that’s designing with your favorite medium or creating custom cabochons using your favorite gels, be sure to hashtag #RT4NT so I can find your masterpieces!
