We are OBSESSED with IGL Nails
{By: Lauren Trunfio} Brittany Golden, the founder and CEO of IGL Nails, has always had an inspiringly positive, and entrepreneurial spirit. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Golden always had a drive for being successful, and made it her mission to share her passions to the world. IGL Nails is a press-on nail brand that “encourages women to ‘never have fugly nails’’’ a mission that we cannot help but absolutely adore. Golden’s nails last days, weeks, and even months, and we love that the sets can also be cut and shaped to your liking without damaging the nail bed.
Golden’s journey into the business side of fashion and design was not an easy one, but she remained persistent to meet her goals and advance in the career she wanted to be in. With a continuous love for design and fashion, Golden originally planned to go to school in New York City to study Fashion Merchandising, but due to personal circumstances, Golden had to move back home to L.A. for Community College. However, she did not let this deter her motivation at all, as she then went on to work a corporate job at Ribbon, DIRECTV, and AT&T. Although, after about five years in corporate, Golden realized the path was not for her, and sought out to change her path.
A highlight in Golden’s career, however, was the moment she was accepted into the inaugural cohort of Goldman Sachs Black and Business. As she became one of the first place award winners for a pitch competition. Since then, IGL Nails has continued to thrive, as the press-on nail brand went on to be featured in Instyle Magazine for Black Beauty Founders Changing the Industry, KTA, and Revolt.
At the end of the day, what motivates Golden the most is the joy her nails bring others. We’ll always continue to support Brittany, and we are so honored to share part of her story with you all. Shop IGL Nails here!
