What's Novela?

Synopsis: With limited quantity set 'Seasons', monthly subscriber 'Episode' raffles, and community driven polls and design direction, Novela is a non-stop thrill seeking press-on nail project created with two goals in mind: make art and have some fuckin' FUN ♥

Full Plot (Spoilers Inside):

Hi! My name is Sara Tamez, I'm an artist and for about 10 years my primary medium has been metalsmithing and jewelry. During quarantine (like many of the gorls) I began doing my own nails, and after years of requests to do others' nails (I am not a licensed nail tech, support your local nail techs!) and having tons of fun creatively challenging myself with each set of nails I'd do, I created Novela, a small side project to create press-on nail sets. 

My goal was to land somewhere between a full new business venture and art I keep for myself, so I had the idea to offer a few limited quantity sets of nails for purchase (Series sets), as well as create a more complex set of nails each month that get's raffled to a subscriber (Episodes). I wanted to try to keep the subscription price point as accessible as possible so it is $5 per month, and subscribers also get a monthly $5 coupon back that you can use towards any of the Series nail sets in stock, if you'd like!

I have utilized lots of different techniques from simple art on no chip manicures to 3D effects on Gel-X tips, but I am so excited to push myself, mix techniques, and find new ways to use all the incredible nail art techniques that are out there. Thanks for following along! Love you forever!
