Missy Dunning on finding self confidence and her love of Pure Nails
By Kat Hill | 12 January 2019 | Feature, Tech Talk
How did you get into the nail industry?
I’ve always had an interest in the beauty industry but lacked the confidence when I was younger to pursue it. However, in recent years I found myself working in the education sector and mentoring young people to find their passion and pursue it… I guess I finally heard what I was preaching! I then began my nail journey with Solis Nail & Beauty and the rest is history.
If you weren’t doing nails, what you would be doing?
I’ve tried and tested many career paths and I can wholeheartedly say that I’ve found my calling, so unless being a pop star ever becomes a realistic opportunity, I’m staying put!

What product can you not live without?
The whole Pure Nails Halo range: from files to prep and scrub, the ever-growing array of gel polish colours and effects including the various finishing topcoats – not forgetting Easibuild! Halo is the best gel polish I’ve worked with and I cannot recommend it enough. All of the colours are gorgeous, it has long-lasting shine and great durability. My clients easily get 2-3 weeks wear time, if not longer, and it’s a great consistency for nail art as well. As soon as I discovered it, I bought the whole range!
If you had to pick one, what nail colour would characterise your personality?
I would be teal because, to me, this colour is warm, strong, appealing and has a sense of energy about it, almost magical. Teal is me on the days when I’m the best version of myself.
