How do you get a famous nail entrepreneur to change her stripes? Ask nail technician Charese Sailor, who got Tammy Taylor to stray from her usual conservative pink-and-white or red-polished nails to simple nail art for the first time.
Tammy Taylor shows her new Christmas Cookie Fragrance and Stocking Stuffer Collection. "This collection was inspired by beautiful nails and the aroma of freshly baked vanilla sugar cookies. The great thing about these stocking stuffers, they are gifts that will be used every day,” says Taylor.
It’s been five years since Taylor Daniel and Morgan Haile, daughters of Hand & Nail Harmony executive vice president David Daniel and CEO Danny Haile, helped to launch the Morgan Taylor polish line.
The United States may lag behind Japan in high technology, France in high fashion, and the Soviet Union in military weapons (high anxiety), but when it comes to nail care, the U.S. takes a backseat to no country. Nail technicians the world over emulate the popular styles and applications of Americans.
Sitting in the crowd, listening as nailists explained new techniques or styles in Japanese, I found I wasn’t completely in the dark. Why not? Because I found out that what I had in common with everyone here was we all spoke a universal language — of nails.
