This shop started with a love for fairy tales and nail art. I have always had a great love for reading, and among my many favorites over the years, fairy tales have always been at the top of my list. I just love the wonder, adventure, and sometimes, absolute silliness of them! When I decided to shift my focus and make this a nail-only shop, I knew I needed to change my name so I could have a fresh start. If you know me, you know names and titles are not my forte. I always leave them for last and completely leave them out if I can get away with it. Not to deviate from the norm, I had literally everything ready to go except for my new shop name. I didn't really have any great ideas, but one of the few that weren't completely ridiculous was fairy tale related. Deciding that, with my love for fairy tales, I could hardly refuse such a name, Once Upon A Nail was born. Or reborn, if you like to think of it that way.

My love for nail art started much later than my love for fairy tales. I dabbled in nail art when I was younger, but I wasn't very good and other things were much more interesting to my middle school self. About four or five years ago my interest was renewed and I started to paint my nails a little more seriously. It was still on and off due to my activities at the time, but my interest had been kindled. Three years ago I finally had the time to paint full-time. And a love was born. Little did I know at the time that it would turn into this - a real live business! I love every minute of it, and I hope that with my art I can give you a little bit of the joy that both fairy tales and nail art give me.
