Hi, i'm Sarah
Acrylic artist, nail educator, content creator, and mom of two on Vancouver Island.
I’ve been working in the nail industry for more than 17 years, and through every change in my career, acrylic has remained the medium I love most.
I love the structure, strength, and endless creative possibilities. Building color and artwork into the nail, layering tiny details, encapsulating tiny things in acrylic, and refining every shape by hand is the kind of work that makes me excited to create.
Acrylic press on nails begin as a creative idea developed for nail art content, technique practice, future workshops and now made to order design options.Each acrylic press-on set is made slowly, one nail at a time, using colored acrylic and layered, inlaid, encapsulated or with 3D nail art. Once completed, the exact set pictured is made available in its preset size, and some of those designs make it into the made to order section!
My business also fits around life as a mom of two young boys. Much of my work happens during nap times, and small pockets of time between family life. A single set may take several days from the first design idea to the final photos.
Alongside my acrylic press-on sets, I share nail tutorials, studio vlogs, product reviews, and behind the scenes content. I’m also developing online acrylic workshops for nail professionals who want to build confidence, and explore new creative techniques.
Thank you for supporting handmade art and following along as I build this next chapter of Sarah’s Nail Secrets.
