Nails by Yvelize

Okaaay RED ❤️❤️

This set came out sooo cute! That deep red with the leopard print and a little gold just did it for me. 😮‍💨Classy with a little bit of attitude

And can we talk about that SHINE?! ✨😍

Another set done by yours truly 💕
The Yvelize Effect

✨ FROM WHERE I STARTED… TO WHERE I AM NOW ✨
This picture was taken 2 years ago, and looking at it now makes me emotional. 🥹💅🏽 This little space was where it all started—just me, my nail desk, my supplies, a dream, and the determination to keep learning and getting better.
I didn’t start with everything figured out. I made mistakes, doubted myself, practiced over and over, and had moments where I wondered if I was really good enough to do this. But I kept going. Every set taught me something. Every challenge pushed me. And every person who believed in me helped me believe a little more in myself.
To my support system—THANK YOU. 🖤 For encouraging me, supporting my crazy ideas, listening to me talk about nails nonstop 😂, and reminding me of what I was capable of when I couldn’t always see it myself.
To my clients, especially those who have been with me throughout this journey—thank you for trusting me with your nails, your ideas, your special occasions, and sometimes even letting me experiment and step outside of my comfort zone. You have played such a huge part in my growth, and I appreciate every appointment, referral, repost, compliment, and word of encouragement. 💕
And a very special thank you to Nail Juice Academy, especially Riss. 🥹💗 Thank you for having the utmost confidence in me, for seeing my potential, encouraging me to push myself, and helping me grow into the nail artist I am becoming. Your belief in me has meant more than you know.
Two years ago, this was my setup.
Today, I can look back and see that it was never “just a little nail desk.” It was the beginning of something I was building for myself. ✨
I’m proud of how far I’ve come, but I’m even more excited about where I’m going.
Here’s to growth, consistency, stepping outside of your comfort zone, and NEVER giving up on something you truly want. 💅🏽🖤💗

Apples, pencils, notebook paper & a little sparkle 💅🏽❤️ Because teachers deserve a fresh set for the first day too! 🍎✏️

💕 Pretty in pink! 💕

Fresh acrylic set with playful polka dots, 3D florals, French tips & just the right amount of bling. 💅🏽✨🌸

💕 Mom’s nails, done with a little extra love. 💅🏽✨

There’s just something special about getting to create a beautiful set on my mom. 🥹🩷

Being a nail tech is already something I love, but moments like this make it even better. My mom gets to sit in my chair, and I get to spoil her for a change. 🥰

We went with a mix of pink, black, and gorgeous gold chrome detailing, and I love how it all came together! Classy, bold, a little edgy—and definitely made just for her. 🖤🩷✨

Bringing comic book vibes to your fingertips! 🎨 These colorful Pop Comic Nails are bold, bright, playful, and full of personality. The black outlining and glossy highlights give them that perfect cartoon/comic-book effect. 💜🩷💛💚💙

✨ A little self-care, a little creativity, and a whole lot of sparkle. ✨

Did these on myself, and I have to say… I’m obsessed! 😍💅

Sage greens, rich burgundy French tips, smoky blue accents, zebra print, and gold details all came together into one set. Sometimes your own nails are the perfect canvas to try something new. 🤍✨

What do you think of this combo? Would you wear it?
