Kristy Vythilingum: Success Through Precision

Kristy Vythilingum represents one of the most promising journeys in women’s entrepreneurship in Mauritius. With creativity, determination, and a desire to share her vision, she believes that beauty can transform lives.

In a studio where light dances delicately over bottles of gel and brushes, Kristy welcomes her clients with a warm smile. Her gaze is sincere, and she listens intently. Beneath this gentle demeanor lies a woman of surgical precision, an artist who sees stories at her fingertips.

Nail art chose Kristy. While many women hesitate to venture into entrepreneurship, she took the plunge, turning her passion into a business. She took a risk and believed in herself. Each client who walks through her door affirms that her choice was the right one.

Experience

It all begins with a simple gesture: extending a hand. For Kristy, it's a sacred moment. She observes the shape of the fingers, the skin tone, and personal style before letting her imagination take over. "Give me a color, a memory, an outfit you’ll wear, and I’ll create a unique design for you," she often says.

This rare ability to translate emotions into patterns has become her signature. In a world filled with copied designs circulating on social media, she creates custom pieces. Each nail is a canvas, and every detail tells a story.

Clients return not only for the beauty of the results but also for the suspended moment where Kristy transforms a beauty appointment into an intimate experience.

She particularly excels at major events: weddings, shows... She prepares for them as a stylist would for a fashion show. The bride becomes her muse, and the hands are her canvas. She immerses herself in photos of the dress, the bouquet, and the decor, studying the client’s personality, tastes, and uncertainties. Then she imagines. Sometimes, she even sketches preliminary designs like a haute couture designer. Her nails shine like jewelry and embody the delicacy of emotion. Brides feel understood.

She does not shy away from any technique: sculpted gel, high-precision baby boomer, 3D patterns, sophisticated marbling, crystalline inlays… She masters them all. Her studio has become a small laboratory of creativity, a place where boldness is the norm.

Entrepreneur

Having her own business is more than a financial decision. Kristy embarked on this journey with a deep conviction that her art deserved its own space. "I realized that if I didn't try, I would never know."

After countless hours of training, trials, sleepless nights learning international techniques, watching masterclasses, and perfecting her skills, she has accumulated hundreds of hours.

With a growing clientele, Kristy embodies a woman who builds herself, with courage, patience, and talent. Far from the glamorous entrepreneur stereotype, she experiences the realities of the field: managing, creating, organizing, reassuring, and remaining stable even on tough days. She is a whole woman, building a dream through meticulousness.

Transmitting Knowledge

However, Kristy’s story would be incomplete without mentioning one of her greatest projects: sharing her knowledge. She understands how challenging it is for young people—especially young women—to find their place in this field. The lack of training, absence of mentors, and high costs of materials are just a few of the many obstacles.

She offers comprehensive training for those dreaming of entering the world of nail art, whether for a hobby or to become professionals. Her sessions are renowned for their very human approach. Participants learn the basics, but also the details that make a difference.

They discover how to build a clientele, develop a personal style, and gain clients' trust. She emphasizes a crucial point: "Nail art is not just about talent. It’s also about discipline, respect, and the desire to enhance others."

Sensitivity

Kristy possesses an almost poetic sensitivity. She sees what others do not. Where someone may notice an ordinary hand, she perceives a shape, a light, a potential.

This gift is expressed in every design:

— a fine line that follows the curve of a smile,

— a pastel shade that evokes a tender moment,

— a sparkle that conveys joy,

— a graphic geometry representing the strength of a woman.

She works like a painter but within a tiny space. Her art requires the patience of a goldsmith and limitless imagination.

Building Confidence

Kristy’s mission is not solely aesthetic; it is emotional. Many women arrive at her studio feeling tired, stressed, and sometimes not recognizing themselves. They leave transformed.

Not just because their nails are beautiful, but because they have been listened to, respected, and elevated. "Beauty is a way to reclaim one’s strength," Kristy asserts. And she proves it, day after day.

Kristy Vythilingum has no intention of stopping here. She dreams of expanding her studio, creating advanced masterclasses, and welcoming even more young trainees. She also wishes to launch her product line.

But one thing will never change: her absolute love for her craft, the flame that lights up her eyes when she creates.
