Welcome to NAILPRO’s NAILED DOWN where we “nail down” the details of selected nail design artists from our User Galleries.
This week we visit New York!
Meet Denyel Asplund:
Where in the world do you live?
I live in New York, but am originally from Pennsylvania.
How would you describe yourself?
Fun, caring, honest and genuine.
Tell us about how you got started in the nail industry.
I just do my own nails right now.
What/Who inspires your work?
Mainly my own ideas or things I have seen on Pinterest.
Do you have any tool(s) you can’t live without?
File, clear OPI coat and nail art thin brush.
Do you have a favorite technique or style?
I do a lot of polka dots because they’re super easy. I also like to paint the ring finger a different color style with glitter.
What is your funniest/craziest nail story?
Doing nail art on my boyfriend’s toenails which turned out really good! 🙂
What tip can you offer to other nail technicians?
Wait for your first coat to dry and then do a second or it gets thick and smudges off. Also, set hands in cold water for a few minutes after painting. It helps to set the polish and dry it.
