Meet Gemma.H - Talent Team Founding Member
What inspires your work/creativity?
Everything, it's everywhere but mostly clothing, nature and what's trending.
What do you specialise in?
I'd say I specialise in a healthy, clean manicure but sometimes with a little twist of art too.
What advice would you give someone new to the industry?
Practice, practice, practice. I'm still always learning, try to gain experience and have patience.
What attracted you to Izabelle Hammon/Calgel and why so you feel aligned with it?
I have already been able to be a small part of the IH Team from time to time running small online art workshops, helping to share my tips and designs.
What do you hope to bring to our community of nail techs and enthusiasts?
I hope to guide and inspire others. I am always happy to answer any questions and help where I can.
How do you use social media to connect with your audience and showcase your work?
I try to create/post what I love and enjoy, I've learned not to overthink or compare my work. I like my posts to be as natural as possible and represent what I see as much as possible. I post a range of stories, reels and posts, talk to lots of lovely techs and try to support others too.
If applicable: What type of content do you most enjoy creating – tutorials, transformations, behind-the-scenes?
My favourite content to create is mini tutorials on designs I have created, showing how I like to do things, maybe these help others to learn something new.
Do you have any tips of other nail techs looking to grow their online presence?
Making sure to keep up with the latest trends helps but also trying to find what you enjoy and want to share and not just following everyone else.
