A reminder of Sofia Richie's wedding rehearsal dinner nails created by top manicurist Georgia Rae. The brief?
She created the soft nail base by starting with the Biosculpture 'Evo Flex Base,' then she used the 'Biosculpture Bio Gel' in '87 Strawberry French' and topped it off with Biosculpture 'Evo Gloss Top Coat.'

Corrine’s nail journey
So, how did Corrine get to this point in her career?
Enter: The 'ice cream' manicure. So, I decided to dedicate my time to training to become an educator, writing manuals and launching my own online store, where fellow nail techs can purchase Nail It branded E-files and tools. However it has been designed to be used as a long-term treatment, and after the initial six days its best to apply regularly to keep your nail beds strong.
It’s important to me that I treat every client with the same level of care and respect, regardless of their profile – and maintain a professional yet personal connection.
