About

I’m here making sure your nails match your energy ✨ I’ve been working with Banana Nails since 2025 and an experienced Nail Technician for 6 years. I love expressing myself through nails and connecting with women who are simply looking to pamper themselves. I enjoy nails, running and weight lifting, reading, and my family. 90% sunshine, 10% surprisingly good at small talk!
