ABOUT THIS PROJECT
Campus-ready Nails is a startup press-on nail business dedicated to providing high quality, easy to apply nail solution for occupied students, so they can avoid the hassle of going to traditional salons which is time consuming.
My experience as a third-year university student has shown that many students lack the time to maintain their manicures due to the amount of schoolwork they are required to complete.
This innovative project empowers university students to take control of their nail care by offering affordable press-on nails. Unlike traditional salon visits, press-on nails are quick, affordable, easy and come in a vast array of designs to suit every student’s unique style. With the flexibility to change their nails whenever they want, students can enjoy salon-quality nail art without the hassle and expense of frequent salon visits.
My goal is to provide university students with a convenient and stress-free way to maintain their personal style, allowing them to focus on their academic pursuits with confidence and poise.
BACKGROUND
Campus-ready Nails was born out of a passion for beauty and a desire to empower students to feel confident and beautiful. As a nail enthusiast with a keen eye for detail, I noticed a gap in the market for high-quality, affordable, and easy-to-apply nail solutions.
With a background in nail artistry and a love for all things beauty, I decided to take the leap and turn my passion into a business. Campus-ready Nails is dedicated to providing top-notch press-on nail designs that cater to diverse tastes and preferences.
I began offering nail services to friends and family after that i decided to pursue nail artistry as a career.
