Hi - I'm Kara!

I've been obsessed with doing my nails for as long as I can remember. After graduating college, I was looking for a creative outlet and karanailedit was born! Since then, I've grown a following of loyal nail polish and art lovers, hosted classes and tutorials, and shared my love of nails with so many friends!

In 2021, I went to nail school and got my nail technician license. I love teaching people about natural nail health and sharing my tips so everyone can live their best natural nail life! I'm so glad you're here 💅

What People are saying about the courses...

Your recent gel course was absolutely amazing! It gelped me with the little things I was missing, so this made it much easier for me. I just did my first builder gel mani with Kokoist Milky Base and it looks so beautiful!

Helen B.

Thank you so much for the prep course! Learning how to appropriately care for my cuticles has changed the manicure game. Dry prep has made my manicure last so much longer! I'm looking forward to your new gel course too!

Laura H.

Thank you so much for your courses and videos!! I'm a major at home nail enthusiast but always had some missing pieces of information that I've tried to figure out on my own. Just from watching your course I've found so many answers to my questions, thank you!!!

Anna L.

Your page and courses have been game changers! I started using builder gel after watching your builder gel course and I'm blown away by how much my nails have grown and how strong they are. Thank you!

Elizabeth P.

I took my first course of yours this week and it was so great! I also bought some Kokoist gels and tools based on your recommendations! I love how my first gel mani turned out! Painting with gel is new to me, so I found your gel course to be SO helpful to follow along step-by-step. I'll be watching it many more times whenever I do my nails. Thank you!!

Sarah P.

I started using the e-file for manicure prep after watching your course and this is my cleanest mani ever!!!

Jessica R.

Gel polish + your courses have been a total game changer. It's so perfect! I don't have to worry about constant smudging and chipping like regular polish. I'm so happy with your tutorials and the products you suggested!
