Perhaps one of the most popular questions of journalists from various newspapers and magazines is the question: "What was the start point of your nail art activity?"
The answer is very simple: after my first visit to the nail art master who made me acrylic nails I found it pleasant to see envious glances of my friends and surrounding women.
I wanted more! But I couldn't get more in the nearest saloons. Nail art world lacked for new ideas bright and vivid designs, unusual varieties and risky experiments.
That is why I had to take a brush myself though I drew only sometimes and it was not my hobby. Soon I felt that creating of miniature pieces of art on women's hands became the most unusual and exciting activity of my life! A lot of years have passed since I took a brush and made my first hesitating stroke. There were years of self-teaching, lots of own productions, various articles in the leading nail art magazines of Ukraine, Europe and the whole world (Successful designs and not very ones are collected in my own author's courses of nail art. All techniques which I have in my arsenal are represented in the courses).
I can not say that recognition came to me unexpectedly. I had to work hard upon myself, to be in constant search of my own style. But the most important thing is that I never hid my designs, I did not make a secret of them and did not try to present them only to VIP-persons. On the contrary, I share my experience with everybody who wants to master this amazing art!
Probably, that is why I'm quite a welcome guest as a guest-star at various nail art forums. In spite of that I'm a judge of lots of international nail art competitions. I spend the better part of my life abroad at various trainings. The brightest learners of my individual and group classes were the trainers and masters of such recognized companies as «OPI NFU OH», «Crystal nails», «Perfekt nails», «EzFlow», «IBD», «ONS».
A lot of various people from all parts of the world come to visit my classes. I respect them all. Just imagine, they overcome thousands of kilometers, spending a few days on a trip just to get some knowledge from me. There are my learners even in Africa. I try to share my experience with everybody who wants it and to be public, to arrange individual and group classes, to organize the schedule between cities and countries and to manage to visit all of them.
I really do not have many competitors, at about 10 persons. But is it possible for a real artist to be afraid of a competition?
And one more thing! The most popular question: "What is the secret of your skill?" The secret is that there is no secret! I have acrylic, brushes, paints and the desire to create!
I have no secrets, because you can see every my stroke at my video lessons. On my training DVDs, i represent at about 150 my own designs, basic ones, designs for beginners and the most compound and showy ones for real masters. The important thing is that everyone can have an exciting nail art journey with me, starting as an amateur and becoming a professional master.
