A True Renaissance Woman

Nicole Jones

A True Renaissance Woman

lways ready to display the length she wanted, whenever she felt it. Nicole Jones has adorned long nails since 1993 and loved them as a child.

Admitting it is a task acquiring an occupation with nails her length. She explained the difficulties of applying for work when people assume efficiency is futile with those nails. A statement those of us in the workplace know all too well.

Fortunately, it has not hindered her career. The Owner of Exquisite Design Nail Salon and a licensed cosmetologist. A professional model and promotional model for The Tampa Bay Tornadoes Arena football. The nail it down stride she carries down the runway draws oohs and ahs alike.

As for the iniquity of her bombastic nails. The rude questions people ask in a judgmental tone. Not appreciated, nor warranted for this fashionista.

A nail tech, her designs are unique and personal, drawing more attention for their art than substantial length. She utilizes the stretch of her paws for her artistry. In essence, they display the skills and professional aptitude of this intriguing enchantress.

The emergence of other women who enjoy long and decorative nails has made it more of an accessory few can adapt to and maintain.

X’treme Nailz Magazine delves into the extreme nail paradox as a positive endeavor many have longed to get an in-depth perspective on, eroding many of the negative assumptions people generally fall prey to.

Nearly all the women in this genre have dealt with irritating toilet questions. Although annoying, Nicole understands the lack of under-

standing people emanate because they would not function with them. Few can comprehend the natural adaption one has when one has always had longer-length nails. Her true pet-peeves are nail-biting and men who assume they should inform her that she would be worthy of dating them if she cut her nails.

We both had to recover from laughter about that pretentious type. But the response validated the similarities auntie and niece share. I should mention my honor to proclaiming this audacious entrepreneur.

As an established nail tech and model, what styles, embellishments, and influences captivated her liking? She loves her nails thin and narrowed to an intimidating stiletto and protects them with slightly more thickness where they come over the finger to prevent breakage.

Like millions of longer nailed women, Jackie Joyner (Flo Jo) inspired her most as a youth. But her love of nail art began long before the adoration of FloJo. She obtained her first nail job at the tender age of four years old. With Grandma being her first client, Nicole grew up placing those clippings on her nails to prepare for her not-so-distant nail goals.

This beguiling soul was born for extreme nails. And she loves that this magazine gives a platform to those who have shut themselves away from public berating.

Fostering her talent by letting each nail make an individual statement.
