Welcome To Divine by Natasha Lee!

Divine By Natasha Lee

The Best Nail Art Products?  We Think So! As we approach the first birthday of Divine by Natasha Lee, I thought I’d share with you how it all began!  When I first began training as a nail technician many many moons ago, I set out to try and find the BEST of everything.  I started by googling “The Best Nail Training” and then rapidly extended to “best nail files“, “best nail tools“, “best nail art brushes“, “best nail glitters“…..(you get the idea!).  The outcome was an awful lot of expense with quite often very disappointming results.  I quickly discovered that someone else’s quality or version of best nail products, didn’t live up to my expectations of what I would deem the best.

I cannot tell you how much money I wasted initially buying every version of the “Best Nail Glitter” that I found only to discover that it wasn’t solvent resistant in gel polish, or my holy grail search for the best cuticle tool only to end up having to use 2 different manicure tools to get the job done.  As I trialled another disappointment, I often thought “why hasn’t anyone done this” or “why hasn’t anyone made this?” and hankered after a product that didn’t even exist, but the seed was planted!

The Best Nail Art Products?

As my career progressed from nail technician, to nail educator, blogger and then YouTuber, the thought of creating my own nail files and nail art products never went away.  The only issue was that I am so fussy!  Also I wasn’t really sure where to start! I wanted to create the best of every nail product!  That’s a serious goal to undertake, and 2018 was the year to do it!  After a few years of being nagged incessantly by my friends in the industry to bring out my own range of nail art tools, glitter and in particular my version of the best nail art brushes, I decided I needed to take action!Divine best nail brushes

Nailed It!

After almost a year of planning, research and development, I released my nail brand “Divine By Natasha Lee” in September 2018 and it still blows me away every time I look at the products that it’s all real!  What started as a plan to just bring out the best nail art brushes on the market, soon expanded to creating my version of the best nail files, best nail glitters and best nail and manicure tools!  Divine by Natasha Lee wasn’t and isn’t a money making scheme, it’s a project of absolute passion and there are little “easter eggs” throughout the brand which you may have missed but I’ll tell you about later in this post!Best Nail products

Eco Conscious

One thing that really mattered to me in my brand, is to try and be as eco conscious as possible.  Our world around us and all it’s inhabitants are a gift that it’s too easy to take for granted.  However,  if everyone just made small positive changes then together we can help to not only prevent more damage to the environment and all that live in it, but also try and heal the damage that’s already done.  I have lots of plans for more actions that we can take as the brand continues to grow from strength to strength, but from the outset I knew that I wanted to make an effort and encourage others to do the same.  Inside every order, you will receive a personal handwritten compliments card which I write with my fountain pen in an ink that’s the same colour as my official “Natasha Lee” logo.

And when you turn it over, there’s a little explanation of the steps I’ve made to begin our contribution towards a more environmentally friendly approach.

DBNL Divine Eco FriendlyPositive Packaging

When you receive your order, your packaging box and elegant silver grey tissue paper are recyclable, so please pop them in your local or doorstep paper and card recycling.  The packaging nuggets softly cushioning your goodies to make sure they arrive perfectly no matter where you are in the world, are made from starch, meaning the they are entirely biodegradable.  You can even put them on your compost heap or in your domestic food recycling!  The compliments card that I send out is printed on 100% recycled board, and the tape that your parcel is sealed with is also 100% plastic recycled film.

Divine Nails Art

I have so much more planned for the future, but I’d love if you joined in trying to make small (or large if you fancy!) positive changes to be more eco conscious.

Divine Secrets!

Divine is not just a name, it’s a concept, a spirituality and a feeling.  When I first took a complete career change to train as a nail technician and beauty therapist, I spent what felt like an eternity choosing a brand name.  I knew it was going to be more than just a name on a business card, I wanted it to narrate an experience.  Divine by Design was born, which is why the url of my YouTube channel includes the name!  Divine by Design (or DBD as I was known) was synonymous with elite quality and the highest standard of nail services.  As my business grew and I bought my salon, the brand and what it represented grew too.  The day I sold my salon was such a cocktail of emotions.  It was exciting that I was leaving to work full time on YouTube, but DBD had been like my work baby!Divine by Design

Divine by Natasha Lee

When I set out to create my brand, it was another project of passion – I wanted to create the best nail art products available.  I owe everything I have now to my salon days, and I wanted to give a little nod to where I began.  It seemed only right that my brand should be Divine by Natasha Lee (DBNL for short!).  My journey to getting here has been Divine, and I want yours to be too!

Divine The Logo

I had so much fun creating the Divine by Natasha Lee logo (or DBNL for short!)!  The font was chosen for its beautiful chic elegance.  The heart represents my passion for my brand, my career and my family.  As a mum of 3 superhero Autistic boys, my life has taken some unexpected turns.  Every one of those turns was for a divine reason, and lead to where I am now.  My entire nail and YouTube career has enabled me to be fully flexible for my boys and their needs, whilst giving me a project of passion and potential.  I have truly given my heart to my family and my brand, and wanted to acknowledge this.Divine By Natasha Lee logo

 

The flower is representative of my family and the world around us.  Each of the 5 petals represents my 3 boys, my husband and myself, and the flower is a reminder of how beautiful our world is around us and how we should take care of it and be mindful.  Every product in the DBNL range is named after something in nature or found in the natural world.

Finally, the colour of the logo isn’t just any grey, its Rail freight grey from the old British Rail colour scheme, in a nod to my beginnings as a Train Driver, and the weird and wonderful journey that I’ve been on to end up here!

Divine Glitters!

The brand has initially launched with 35 stunning nail art glitters in a range of effects including iridescent, holographic (holo), multi chrome and colour shifting.  I love anything glittery, sparkly, bling or twinkly!  I created the colours that I’ve been really wanting to see from the best nail glitter brands, including the best black holo glitter (it’s called Granite in case you’re wondering 😉  ) best black holo nail art glitter

 

I spent a great deal of time thinking about what nail techs and enthusiasts alike want from the best nail art glitters.  I realised that in general, nail art lovers prefer pots that aren’t easy to knock over.  However for mobile nail techs who keep their glitters in their beauty cases, or for those that keep them in drawers, you can’t see the colour of the glitter inside the pots from above.  I fixed this with a lovely curved window in the lid that enables you to see all of your colours perfect, quickly and easily! best nail art glitters

For those people that like to store their nail glitters on shelves, the side of the pots gives a beautiful portrait view of what’s inside, and the elegant white rims on the pots highlight the contents and colour accuracy.

Divine by Natasha Lee Nail Files

I’ve spent much of my nail tech and blogger career searching for the best nail files.  In essence the highest quality professional files at (for want of a better word!) cheap prices.  As a tech and former salon owner, I understand the expense of disposable nail files, and how you want high quality but low prices to reduce your overheads.  I spent a long time researching and developing my nail files to produce the best nail files for natural nails, acrylics and gels.  Again I wanted to create the essentials, so I created 4 nail files suitable for every nail tech and for those who love at home manicures.  I knew I wanted to create white nail files, as this means that you avoid the dreaded black nail file dust, and it makes it easier when filing off top coats as you can easily tell when you’ve filed down to your colour coat.best 240 grit nail file
