Tom Bachik

Tom Bachik is the master you must follow, he’s the man who lays down the law when it comes to manicure trends in California's coolest hills. His most loyal client is Jennifer Lopez, whom he follows everywhere to create different looks every time she has to walk on the red carpet, hold a concert, record a music video or get married. In fact, he’s the author of the design that JLo wore at her wedding to Ben Affleck. For the special event, the master created a sober, solid-coloured style so as not to obscure the majestic beauty of the bride's wedding dresses. His career developed by chance. Tom in fact started out as a graphic designer with a passion for skating and his dream was to customise the boards of his favourite sport by learning how to use an airbrush perfectly. In the 1990s, his wife discovered she was pregnant, finding a stable job became a priority. The guru decided to take advantage of this field that was gaining momentum in Los Angeles and the related jobs were becoming increasingly in demand.

He quickly made a name for himself thanks to his manual dexterity and surgical precision acquired when using an airbrush year earlier, winning several competitions he entered. Tom also had the foresight to exploit Instagram from its early days, quickly making personal branding and entering the circle of the most influential people in show business. His imprint is unmistakable, he does not work with excessive lengths or too many embellishments, he plays with geometric and stylised shapes, his workhorse is precision. An example is the creations designed for Camila Cabello, characterised by freehand lines of absolute perfection.

To replicate the first look, we created our structure layer with a transparent builder gel. For the Black & White design we would like to suggest you two of our fullest and purest colours, the semi-permanent gel polish colours: White Extra and Black Extra. Instead, to recreate the second style, we have the same bright tone of red and the matt sealer.

Betina R. Goldstein

Betina R. Goldstein is the queen of French manicure. She loves micro-decoration and advocates the importance of healthy nails. The Mexican talented woman lives in the United States, she collaborates with European brands and works with celebrities like Zoe Isabella Kravitz, Margot Robbie and Shawn Mendes. Betina passionately promotes all-round health and hand care, not focusing only on design without neglecting essential issues that often take a back seat. She often talks about the importance of regularly scrubbing cuticles, to always use colours that belong to one's own palette and to pay extreme attention to finding the right shade and thus achieving the perfect nude effect.

She also started this career by chance, initially working as an intern in the post-production department of a television programme where she had her first encounter with the beauty industry, and then finding employment in an agency organising fashion catwalks. Shortly before a show, the manicurist failed to show up and Betina found herself doing nails for no less than 27 models. The rest is history.

One of his most iconic creations is the style for Shawn Mendes at the prestigious Tommy Hilfiger fashion show. The colours used are the same as those that make the brand unique. The products you can use to recreate the design are blue Sky, red Paris and a classic white. To embellish, add silver rhinestones to give a touch of light.

Zola Ganzorigt

Zola Ganzorigt is the pioneer of glazed effect. She and Hailey Bieber are two peas in a pod, the international top model relies on no one else. Hailey’s trademark are finishes, she loves both chrome and pearl effect, the fashion icon favourite’s ones. Zola has a clear preference for almond shape, the most refined and versatile one, she rarely tries her hand at other shapes unless specifically requested by clients.

She also often works with Vanessa Hudgens, the High School Musical star often appears on her feed with chrome effect or with elegant ombré smoothed out with a light glitter finish. Other loyal customers are Kylie Jenner and Jessica Alba, who are also fans of “donut glaze” or “chocolate glaze” when the pearl finish is applied over a brown base.
