About Me

Hi! I’m Adalyn — the teen founder, designer, and artist behind The Glow Mani. What started as a small hobby at my desk has grown into something I’m so passionate about: creating press-on nails that make people feel confident, put-together, and totally themselves.

I fell in love with press-ons because I wanted beautiful nails without the time, cost, or damage of salon acrylics. So I started experimenting with designs, colors, and styles — and before I knew it, friends and family were asking me to make sets for them too. That support pushed me to turn this little passion into a real business.

Every set you see in my shop is hand-painted, crafted with care, and made by me, one at a time. I put a lot of intention into choosing shapes, colors, and styles that fit real life — from school, sports, and work days to special occasions and everything in between.

As a teen business owner, running this shop means more to me than I can fully explain. It’s taught me creativity, responsibility, and the joy of building something from the ground up. It’s also shown me how much confidence a beautiful set of nails can bring someone — and that will forever be one of my favorite parts of this journey.

Whether you’re here for bold statement nails, minimalist designs, seasonal styles, or a custom set created just for you… thank you. Your support allows me to keep doing what I love and continue growing this little dream of mine.

I’m so happy you’re here.
Welcome to my shop — I hope you find a set that makes you smile. 💕
