“Nails can be just as important as jewelry” - my guest Sylvie Macmillan. Sylvie's journey to becoming a talented nail technician was anything but direct. After receiving a degree in technical arts and special effects, and working as a graphic designer and model maker, the Bath local could have done anything. Yet her lifelong love for nails was an affection that couldn't be ignored. With clients like Vogue, Dazed, and Fashion East designer Asai under her belt, it’s clear that Macmillan is well on her way to becoming one of the best nail techs in the industry. Listen to hear us discuss:

• How Sylvie works to a brief when creating nail looks whether it’s for runway, editorial or a private client
• Nail art and having a relationship with your manicurist 
• How to make your nails healthy, cuticle care & why the same nails always break
• Anti-aging & getting hotter as she gets older
• Calluses on feet, dead skin & regular exfoliation
• Getting used to acrylic nails, nail appropriation & cultural appropriation 
• Having a bath & wearing fragrance & orgasm
