<p data-block-key="n9v6w">Braelinn Frank is both an artist and a business woman. After falling in love with the rave scene in 2009, she began painting her nails on theme with whichever rave she was attending that weekend. She became well known in the scene for her impressive nails, and started an Instagram account called "Rave Nailz", not knowing it would become a business one day.</p><p data-block-key="2ehof">Wanting to be able to create more nail art than her own two hands would allow, she began painting on press on nails. These became her preference- she could wear long, extravagant nail art without any of the dry time, and they looked exactly- if not better than- a real salon manicure. Soon, she decided to list a few of these on Etsy under the shop name Rave Nailz.</p><p data-block-key="2i03q">Meanwhile she obtained a Bachelor's degree in Business Entrepreneurship, inspired by her entrepreneurial family, and an Associate's in Graphic Design. She knew she had a passion for business, art, and music- so she freelanced as a graphic designer in the music industry for years, creating artwork and logos for names such as Cedric Gervais, Rusko, School of Rock, and more.</p><p data-block-key="c6tri">But, she wanted something else- to share Rave Nailz with the world. She continued creating new designs, and explored (just for fun!) packaging designs, and reached out to manufacturers to find out what it would take to get her designs produced. During this time her Etsy shop was gaining traction, and she was getting attention from retailers. Finally in 2019, she got a wholesale order so big that she decided to take the leap- she took the money from that wholesale order (plus a little help from her credit card) to manufacture her designs.</p>
