Career biography: I've been in the nail industry for eight years. Thanks to my coach, Elena Popova, I fell in love with competitions & have been actively participating in them for the past three years. I'm proud that my work (extreme nail styling posters) has been exhibited in real museums as works of art
Personal biography: I used to be a professional model. I have a university degree & two honours degrees. I enjoy archery & chess & I also love animals & have a dog & two rabbits at home.
Why you believe in nail competitions?: Because championships allow you to constantly grow & not stand still. You can be as confident in your work as you like, but a championship will always highlight your strengths & weaknesses.
Advice to other competitors: I'd advise not being afraid to participate. Many people are afraid of losing, but there's no greater victory than defeating yourself. Do it for yourself first, not for the prizes & then you won't be afraid of losing.
