Marian Newman Nail expert

Meet Marian Newman aka THE Queen of Nails. No, literally, the nail expert was recently awarded the British Empire Medal in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List for services to the beauty industry during Covid-19, and she knows so much about nails, she even launched an online diploma program last month! Marian’s nail artistry has graced the tips of everyone from Kate Moss to Lady Gaga – she’s even written tomes showcasing her backstage-worthy, eye-popping manicures, along with technical textbooks on nail anatomy and salon safety.

Plus, Marian breaks down the *brand new*, crack-filling innovation from CND called Plexigel that's legit the biggest thing to hit the nails category since Shellac.
