The journey to huephoria™ was a long one. After experiencing the profound loss of a parent during the pandemic, burnout from trying to find the ever elusive work/life balance, and attempt to recapture the joy in self-care—founder, Vanessa Anglade, turned to her first beauty love—nails! It's her firm belief that eye-catching colors and beautifully designed nails are always a conversation starter.
Lifelong nail biter, Vanessa spent years using manicures as a means to limit nail biting but applying nail polish was never her forte. Time consuming hacks, less than perfect DIY results, and expensive nail salon appointments led to more time biting and less time protecting & growing her nails. Discovering semi-cured gel nail wraps helped to regain her confidence, maintain a consistent nail care routine, and a stylish outlet for self-expression.
Inspired by the diverse, colorful, and vibrant energy of growing up in New York City, Vanessa and her sisters launched huephoria™: a happy place to find the beauty in the limitless possibilities to express your best self—one fab mani at a time—without the premium price tag.
