MONails began with a simple belief I couldn’t ignore — that nail care shouldn’t force us to choose between performance, beauty, and our health.

​

For years, I loved the creativity of the nail industry, but I kept noticing the same problem: incredible results often came with ingredients I wasn’t comfortable using, both for myself and for the planet. As someone deeply passionate about sustainability and wellbeing, I knew there had to be a cleaner, safer way forward.

So I decided to create one.

​

What started as a small idea quickly became a mission — to build a brand that professionals could trust without compromise. Every formula we develop at MONails is vegan, cruelty-free, and free from toxic ingredients. From biodegradable jars that help reduce plastic waste to our hypoallergenic, HEMA- and TPO-free systems, every detail is designed with intention and care.

​

One of the moments I’m most proud of was launching our PLANTme Colours collection — a 100% plant-based gel range. Seeing those bold, vibrant shades come to life proved something I had always believed: clean chemistry can be just as powerful, professional, and beautiful as anything else on the market.

​

Over the years, MONails has grown into more than I ever imagined — an accredited academy, a professional nail shop, and a spa experience — and has been recognised globally as Best Vegan Nail Care Brand & Products. Being named Entrepreneur of the Year in Cyprus was incredibly humbling, but the real reward has always been the community we’ve built together.

​

Because MONails isn’t just a brand to me — it’s a movement. A commitment to doing beauty differently. More consciously. More responsibly. More beautifully.

Thank you for being part of our journey and for helping us celebrate 10 years of eco nail care. I can’t wait to create the next decade together.
