About The Nail Wiki
A growing professional nail knowledge platform created to make reliable, practical, and clearly explained nail information easier to access.
The Nail Wiki organises clear educational information about nail anatomy, products, techniques, safety, troubleshooting, professional development, and nail-related conditions. It is designed for nail professionals, students, clients, pharmacists, healthcare professionals, researchers, and anyone seeking a better understanding of nails.
Not simply to provide more information — but to help readers understand nail practice more clearly and make better-informed professional decisions.

What Makes The Nail Wiki Different
Built by professionals
Authored and maintained by Radina Ignatova. As the platform grows, qualified contributors from across the industry, healthcare, research, and product development will expand the knowledge base.
Experience meets research
Active salon experience combined with recognised industry guidance, technical documentation, and continued research. The goal is to explain not only what professionals do, but why.
Education before promotion
The Nail Wiki educates, it does not advertise. Commercial announcements belong in the dedicated Press Release section.
Built for modern search
Clear organisation, consistent terminology, and structured content make professional nail information easier for both people and AI systems to find and understand.
A growing resource
Continually expanding with new articles and professional contributions. The long-term vision is to build The World's Largest Nail Knowledge Resource.
Editorial Principles
Accuracy before speed
Content is reviewed and improved rather than published only to follow trends.
Explanation before instruction
Readers should understand why something works, not only what steps to repeat.
Safety before convenience
Professional standards, client welfare, and responsible practice remain central.
Transparency
Evidence, professional observation, uncertainty, and opinion are distinguished clearly.
Continuous review
Pages are updated as terminology, guidance, evidence, and understanding develop.
The Nail Wiki and Artistic Touch
Both founded by Radina Ignatova — but they serve different roles and do not duplicate one another.
Knowledge and reference
Free educational resources covering nail knowledge, terminology, products, techniques, safety principles, and professional topics.
Structured education
Structured professional education designed to develop technique, understanding, diagnosis, correction, and professional judgement.
The Nail Wiki explains. Artistic Touch turns knowledge into structured development.
