WHO I AM
Hey, I’m Mel, the founder and creative soul behind Melanated Paradise. As a passionate nail artist and entrepreneur, I specialize in creating beautiful. time - saving press on nails for busy women who deserve to feel polished and confident - without spending hours at the salon.
Why I started Melanated Paradise!
I started Melanated Paradise with one mission in mind: to empower women to give them a set of nails that look like they took hours to do when really they were applied in less than 10 minutes. As a full time 9 to 5 cosmetology student while working 40 hours, this lifestyle leaves no room to pamper and i found press ons to leave my nails looking beautiful (being on the go) and feel protected from harsh chemicals while all the other nail salons are closed.
My Vision
My overall goal is to transform how press on nails are perceived. These aren’t the mass produced, filmsy, and plain nails - they are durable, reusable, and custom made to fit your nails and lifestyle. Whether you have been pulled into a last minute spontaneous date night or you simply need a pick up, our pre-designed press ons will make you look and feel like the baddest in the room with one press.
