Imagining a future OPI shade that reflects her best self, this ambitious 19-year-old  proposes the name “Prominent Pink-ilicious”. She describes the shade as,  “a color that stands out and that’s very  fitting for me and my personality.” As a future nail profession, Jocelyn is inspired by the influencer Nailed It, who started with the  simple goal of going to school so she could take on clients and gradually built a thriving business. “I think about how I’ve gone from knowing nothing about nails to getting my nails done regularly to dreaming of one day building my own empire – that would be unimaginable,” she says.
