A Nail Tech Who Cares.
My name is Nicole Tran and I am a licensed nail technician with over 5 years of experience, but my roots in the nail industry run much deeper. When I was only five years old, my mom opened her nail salon in Lincoln Park, Chicago. I have core memories of being a child in the salon, watching my mom curate a welcoming and fun environment for the neighborhood while elevating the nail game through meticulous care.
My mom inspired me, and I wanted to build a community of my own. I’ve studied her amazing techniques, challenged myself to elevate them, and found a true love for nail art. Clique Chicago is more than just a press-on nail brand—it gives my hard work a second life. From the salon chair to your fingertips, Clique Chicago is made for your convenience.
Clique Chicago is a salon-quality, reusable press-on nail brand founded by Nicole (@NICXBEAUTTY), a licensed nail technician with 5+ years of experience.
Throughout my journey in the nail industry, I’ve developed a passion for detailed, intricate nail art that allows creativity and self-expression to shine.
After spending countless hours creating unique designs for my clients, my work began gaining organic viral engagement on Pinterest, reaching over 4.85 million total impressions and 90K monthly viewers. Inspired by this response, I selected 10 of my original designs to bring to life as press-on nails, giving my artwork a second life beyond the salon.
Clique Chicago was created to make beautiful, statement-making nails more accessible. Our goal is to offer stylish, high-quality, reusable, press-on nails that allow people to express themselves without the time commitment or expense of a traditional salon appointment. Because self-care should be convenient, creative, and accessible to everyone.
We’re more than just nails—we’re a community built around creativity, confidence, and self-expression.
