I am pleased to share my knowledge and experience. I believe that nothing is impossible, and that constant striving for precision allows for the development of a unique work style, which provides the opportunity for success in this profession.I'm Melinda Tamás from Hungary. I used to be a professional athlete, maybe that's why I've been competing since the beginning of my career. I have been in the nail industry for over a decade.
I have participated in numerous Hungarian and international competitions, achieving success from the European Championship in Munich to the London Nailympia and even extending to the American continent. In poster categories, I can proudly say that I have won numerous championship awards in recent years. One of my most memorable winning works was the Phoenix, which won in the Extreme Poster Styling category at the Nailympia 2023. This work of mine became part of the Nailympia brand in 2024. At the beginning of 2024, I stood at the top of the podium in the Extreme Poster category at the prestigious NailsOlympic International competition. In previous years, I have also won the gold in several art categories, extreme, salon, and pedicure poster categories too. The nails are my own canvas which hold limitless possibilities. I am a fan of pure hands-on implementations, because for me this is the greatest challenge and this knowledge is the greatest professional value. Through my works I can express my own art and share my visions.
I believe in sharing what you do well with others. Years ago, after receiving multiple requests, I launched my private and small group training sessions. The beauty of teaching, the progress of my students, inspire me every day to give even more. For me, the most important aspect of every teaching session is that my students leave with a sense of achievement and satisfaction, receiving all the help they need to become successful professionals.

I am a native Hungarian and have been working in the nail art industry for 20 years. I have completed my professional educator studies in 2012 and I am one of the educators of Indigo Hungary. Since four years now, I have been regularly conducting training and classes domestically as well as internationally. I believe the most important aspect is the technique. If the nail is not built with the right technique the result won't be perfect! Doesn't matter if it is salon size or a special shape it must be done precisely. My most favourites are the extreme shapes which I am teaching with gel and porcelain too. As for decoration, I love the 3D porcelain flowers. I have my own created shape which is called: HARPOON.
