the heart behind CNVS Nails
meet Kim
Hi, I’m Kim—Chief Nail Officer and Owner of CNVS Nails, short for Custom Nail Veneer System. My journey with CNVS began with a simple Instagram story. The original founder, Kasey, had an idea and needed someone to help bring that vision to life. I sent her a video introducing myself and answering all her questions, and within a day, we were setting up a meeting at a local Starbucks to talk about the future of what would become CNVS. From day one, I’ve been part of the process—her vision became my challenge to bring to life, and together we built the foundation of a brand that felt different from anything else in the nail space.
With over 25 years of experience as a freelance graphic designer—working with major retailers on everything from packaging to email marketing—I poured my skill set into building CNVS from the ground up. I designed every element of the brand, including our proprietary nail molds, packaging, website, and email communications. I handled sourcing, production, and day-to-day operations, all while helping shape the overall customer experience. In January 2025, I officially took over as the sole owner of CNVS and made the leap to running the business full-time.
One of the biggest decisions I made after taking over was to move all of our fulfillment in-house. We expanded into our own warehouse space so we could personally manage every order and ensure our customers receive the care and quality they deserve—something that often gets lost with larger brands. I still pack each box myself, and every detail, from start to finish, reflects the pride and passion behind this brand.
As a mom of three and wife to Nathan, we’re now empty nesters who love to travel—though these days, I’m proudly pouring most of my energy into building CNVS into something truly special. CNVS was created to solve a major frustration in the nail world: one-size-fits-all nails that don’t actually fit. I personally designed our 30-size custom sizer system to give every customer a personalized experience with nails that feel like they were made just for them.
We offer two classic shapes—almond and square—in two lengths each, with natural-looking gel veneers that are pre-shaped, pre-colored, and LED-cured to last up to two weeks. It all starts with our Starter Kit, which helps customers find their perfect fit. From there, our monthly subscription delivers custom-sized manis right to their door—no more guessing, no more waste.
At CNVS, we’re not just selling nails. We’re redefining the at-home manicure experience, one perfectly sized millimeter at a time—with real people, real care, and a whole lot of heart behind every box.
Kim's favorite
The original short almond mani is my personal favorite. The Quick Start Bundle is the beginning and easiest way to get that custom fit mani that you didn't know you needed. Now you never have to go to the salon again!
When I set out to create CNVS Nails, it wasn’t just about launching another beauty product. It was about solving a problem women face every day: nails that never truly fit. I was tired of buying press-ons that looked great in the package but never matched my nail sizes, and I was frustrated with spending hours (and money) in the salon for results that didn’t last. I wanted something better — something personal.
That’s where the idea for CNVS was born. I believed every woman deserved a manicure that felt like it was made just for her. That belief became the foundation of ourCustom Nail Veneer System™, the first nail brand designed to delivercustom fit nails. Instead of forcing you to choose from a handful of generic sizes, we created a 30-size sizer tool that finds your exact match. Once you discover your sizes, we send you only what you need — no wasted extras, no trial and error, just your perfect fit every time.
But CNVS Nails is about more than sizing. I wanted to create an experience that felt elevated yet effortless — salon-quality manicures without the stress or the appointment. That’s why our ColorCure™ system pairs our veneers with professional-grade gel products that are easy to use, long-lasting, and gentle on natural nails. The result? A flawless manicure that lasts up to two weeks and looks like it came straight from the salon.
For me, CNVS Nails is more than a business. It’s my story — a dream built from the frustration of never finding nails that fit, transformed into a solution that now helps women everywhere. With CNVS, you don’t just get nails; you getcustom fit nails designed for confidence, convenience, and a touch of everyday luxury.

I’m a pharmacist and I use my hands all day typing and giving vaccines. Even with my very first set they have not budged after 2 weeks! I’m subscribing!

Great Option for at-home!
After going to multiple salons in my new cit, and not being happy with any of the quality I was receiving, I decided to give this a try to be able to do my own nails at home. The quality of this product and the ease of putting it on immediately had me excited. After I stopped going to salons I was using press ons or at home acrylic kits - all of which either didn’t last long, damaged my nails, or were too expensive / time consuming to do. These are the perfect combination of affordable and easy to use. I’m really happy so far!

Clean and Simple
Pleasantly surprised by short square! I tried them because the shorter nails are easier for daily wear, but I'm loving the look more than I thought I would! Easy to apply and look great even without polish. I will definitely purchase them again. Resizing is mandatory IMO. My sizes are very different than short almond.
