OK, so here we are getting ready for the first competition of the year. ISSE Long Beach. I love this trade show. Aside from it being in my own back yard, the convention center is right

Ukrainian-based nail tech Liliya Sereditskaya is a relative newcomer to the nail craft. She’s only worked as a nail tech for three years, but she has quickly learned how to make stunning, high-quality stilettos to keep a full clientele. NAILS got a chance to talk to Sereditskaya about nail trends in Ukraine and how she got her start.

EZ Flow’s colored acrylic collections allow you to free your mind and create endless combinations of colors and art to keep clients enthralled year-round. The collections Time to Shine, Pastel, Earth Stone, and Rainbow offer unique shades for nails, and the Competition White Series has superior performance and adhesion.

Want to impress a client with an eye-catching, 3-D acrylic design? Then check out CND educator Tammi Merritt’s technique on these blooming black floral nails. The Knoxville, Tenn.-based tech uses colored acrylic, dried flowers, rhinestones, and metallic strips to create a layered effect that blends well on the black background.
