1/5 Jin Soon Choi @jinsoon.
When my nail art was featured in the New York Times Magazine in a seven-page spread. This happened in 2002 and it was the first time nail art was featured as a main story in the history of the New York Times Magazine – what an honour! It truly transformed me from manicurist to nail artist.
JINsoon Diamond nail file, JINsoon Top Gloss top coat, Tweezerman cuticle pusher, L’Occitane nail and cuticle oil and Diptyque Rose Water emulsion for the hands.
I use the highest professional quality implements from Tweezerman (made in Germany) including nippers, cuticle pushers and clippers – they are really worth the investment!
It may seem mundane, but the most important (and easiest) nail beauty tip is to constantly moisturize your nails and cuticles like your face. It keeps them young and fresh looking.
When I realised that I would be working with the legendary photographer Steven Meisel on a regular basis.
Focus on your goals, work hard, be original and don’t have an attitude.
