It is no longer only to adorn women’s hands, it can be claimed that the artworks of artisans and nail artists are admirable and proud.

If you are someone who not only cherishes every inch of your body and admires the patience and ingenuity of someone who is passionate about beauty with honest work, but also be a romantic and imaginative person, delicate enough to feel every detail of colors, lines, shapes full of creativity and charm of miniature works of art on a… nail, you will be proud of the dedicated Vietnamese who have developed Nail to become an unique and creative beauty industry, not only with great earnings but also with typical Vietnamese characteristics, intelligence, patience, and ingenuity.

s5I believe that people can go wild with super big, giant things for trivial entertainment, bursting with laughter and then forget about it easily, but with micro works on nails, people will feel gentle, affectionate in front of the detailed beauty, and will remind each other to carry gently, handle slowly, and take a closer look, such a lovely work of art. Take a look at the works of beauty artisans-artists on this number of Illume.

s3I do not see Nail as a side job to earn money

Sharing of Hua Thanh Vy, CEO of HTV Nail, with Illume, this number is also what nails artists want to send to readers.

Vy, like many other nails educators in Vietnam and throughout the world, is obsessed with nails and nail art. If painters and sculptors can freely make sketches, blocks on huge canvas panels, huge masterpieces, etc., the Nails artist only has a limited area on the finger nail to express their artistic creativity. From this little area, hundreds of different techniques, materials, and colors can be created with the ultimate goal of beautifying a woman’s hand.

Previously, around ten years ago, the nails job was not as widely known in Vietnam as it is now. The career is almost unrecognized and is regarded as an inferior career by “holding hands and washing people’s feet all day” or “lowering your face to the ground inhaling dust”. But that conception has gradually changed as a result of the hard work of instructors like Vy, colleagues, and generations of students who have introduced society to sustainable and trendy beauty care. Besides, a decent pay from the profession has enabled those who work in this field to live well from their own labor.

Vy often expresses her enthusiasm for her job to her students: Once you get to know Nails, if you want to achieve success with Nails, you will have to be devoted to the point of forgetting about eating and sleeping, thinking that Nails is never enough, and do not consider it as a side job in life. Nails is a kind of work that is always updating new techniques and trends in order to reach out to customers and keep up with the times. If you do not advance and update, you will be removed.

Given that Nails is an art form, cultural beauty should be prioritized

Master Nails Long Nguyen

Nails with prosperous and traditional color of Asian countries convey a very clear cultural message. If the Chinese have a lion dance, Chinese opera, a god of luck, red firecrackers with classical patterns in Doan Trang Ngoc’s work, then Master Nail Long Nguyen’s homeland of Vietnam is healthy, rich, and dazzling in flowers, and full of enjoyment in the four seasons… also full, clear, and sharp for overseas people to remember where they were born and those with close relationship are waiting for them.
