Marble Nails

Embrace the power of quartz with marble nails. They’re swirly, fashion-forward, and remind you of gorgeous gemstones. The best part? No two marble nails are the same. And that’s because the lines are randomly created. Even the most skilled nail tech can’t recreate the exact swirls on another person’s nails. This makes your marble design totally yours.

Ice Blue

Writing has always been a part of me. From writing stories as a young child to studying Communication Arts in the university, it has always been more than a medium of expression to me.

And then one day, I found myself toeing the path of an entrepreneur and becoming a fashion enthusiast. This made me develop an interest in content marketing and copywriting which I've been chasing alongside my fashion career.

That aside, when I'm not sharing style articles, selling with stories, or creating fashion-forward pieces for Ria Kosher, you'll find me telling wild stories that always come with a twist.
