Creativity has always
been part of my life.
Before nails, I spent years exploring different creative hobbies and skills · sewing, watercolour painting, and even building websites like this one. I'm the kind of person who can't stop learning new things. If something looks interesting, I want to figure out how it works.
Nails became the place where all of those interests come together: design, colour, technique, and attention to detail.
What started as a hobby slowly became something more serious. After getting certified, I decided to turn that passion into The Nail Lab Iceland.
Where all of it connects.
Watercolour has always been one of my favourite mediums, the way colours blend, bleed, and soften into each other. That same sensibility shows up in my nail work. I'm drawn to soft gradients, botanical shapes, delicate lines, and palettes that feel natural rather than overly constructed.
Nails are tiny canvases. And whether the starting point is a Monet painting, an Icelandic hillside, or a sewing project that went in a weird direction and I love seeing where they can go.
A few things that constantly inspire my designs:
- the colour palettes of Monet and Matisse
- the playful line work of ilovedoodle
- the creative nail work of @nailsbyaran
- Icelandic landscapes and light
- minimal line art and botanical shapes
Sometimes inspiration comes from paintings, sometimes from nature, sometimes from a random colour combination that just works.
When I'm not doing nails, you'll probably find me:
- sewing something new
- experimenting with watercolour
- building little coding projects
- looking at nail designs online
- or spending time with my cats
Curiosity is a big part of who I am and it's also what makes this work exciting.
