Hi, I’m Victoria Lane
I’m a nail enthusiast, digital creator, and the founder of Modern Nail Design — a blog I created to bridge the gap between nail inspiration and real-life results.
For years, I did what most nail lovers do — saved hundreds of Pinterest ideas I loved but could never quite recreate, or couldn’t describe clearly enough to my nail technician. That frustration turned into a purpose: build a resource that actually helps.
I research every trend, test every technique, and write every post with one goal in mind — giving you clarity, confidence, and genuinely useful ideas for your next nail set.

Our Story
Modern Nail Design started as a personal notebook — a place to collect, organise, and make sense of the endless nail ideas scattered across social media. What began as a private collection quickly became a blog, because the questions I had were questions thousands of other women were asking too.
How do I describe this shape to my nail tech? Which gel colours are trending this season? Can I actually do this at home?
Modern Nail Design was born from those questions — and today, it’s grown into a full nail inspiration and education blog serving readers who love nails at every skill level, from total beginners to seasoned DIY enthusiasts.
