GIMME5 STORY

Student founded, college designed nails

We're two college students who built a press-on brand from a dorm desk because we couldn't find nails that fit campus life.

Between classes, part-time jobs, date nights, and game days, we wanted nails that looked put-together without salon prices or salon time. The press-ons we tried were either poorly made or didn't fit right — so we built our own, armed with an iPad and a lot of late nights.

what we designed for:

  • Handmade, comfortable, affordable
  • Wearable for class, work, and late-night study sessions
  • Clean and professional for interviews
  • School-spirit for game day, bold for parties, soft for dates
  • Easy to change (and remove) for gym days
