Kandyce Shanell is the nail technician at Unique Creations. Her table is where a screenshot turns into a set: long acrylics shaped clean — square, coffin or almond — then finished by hand with art, foil, marble, gems and 3D charms.

She works in color. Pastels and French tips, black-and-white patterns, a full glitter nail next to a smiley face, a pompom or a bow on one finger. Bring a picture, a color, or just a mood, and she will tell you honestly what will hold on your nails and what will not.
