Fairly new to the market, nail artist- Fallon Nichole have surfaced and found her a new destiny. Known for being fierce by nature, Fallon is also known as the leader of the, “TipGang” movement. With a new venture into the nail art community, the significance of, Ms. TipGang is positively something to be proud of. Exceptionally, when there are more and more confident women each day, taking the independence of making an outlet for their selves in paths that are self fulfilling and self-imposed… (Lets agree…Cheers to that!) Get to know, Fallon a little more below:
Who is Fallon Nicholas?
I am the girl people don’t really know. I’ve been through a lot and I found my peace and talent in nail art.
Describe the, “TipGang” movement and everything that it represents:
TipGang, represents every person out there doing nails! From getting their nails done, to following nail art blogs to just supporting us at our events. I want Tipgang to be more than just nail art. It’s simply a “brand” that represents a whole lifestyle.
What kind of music do you like? Who are you currently listening to?
I listen to 90s hip hop, R&B, Kendrick Lamar, Beyonce, and ASAP Rocky…But I love my 80’s jams, lol
Tell me about your background?
I am a NYC based, Puerto Rican that lives in Harlem.
First time considering nail art? When did you experience your first nail art manicure?
It’s funny because I used to get regular manicures. One Color!!!! Every week. Then one time I saw a, PrettyNailSwag mani and my friend tried to replicate it. I was hype!!! Lol
Being a diverse nail artist, describe your artistic style, and what free-style nail design do you like to re-create the most?
I love freehand. Getting into detail. I like to come up with an idea as opposed to recreating someone else’s work for my clients. As far as free-styles, I like street style the most. Basically, any art that is inspired by urban fashion or music. It’s all dope to me!
Recap us with some events that, TipGang was a part of?
I have worked at; Adidas pop-up shop, Gap, Green Pointers events, 4/20 pop-up shop nail event in, New York. In the near future- I would like to do photo shoot & videos….I am obsessed with Jordan’s and Nike!! If they were interested, I would be open to any of their nail art ventures. I really love to wear sneakers.
Coming from NYC, who would you eventually want to work with in the nail industry ?
WAH nails! I love their creativity and concepts. In regards to paint brushes, Britney Tokyo! So many girls, and I am a fan of them ALL.
What blogs are you following?
To name a few…Nyphmo nails, Nail Swag, Jessica Washick, Astro Wifey.
Who are you following on Instagram? Favorite nail artist(s) ?
RiaNailz, Racqstar nails, Thisisvenice , Astro Wifey, Britney Tokyo, Ciao Manhattan, Pretty Project… Uugh just sooo many! I don’t have a favorite I just love them all.
Bonus: How do you feel about sexual equality?
It’s no one business! What ever you choose to do be behind close doors, it’s you.
