Maria Vlezko – Founder & Creative Director

SoNailicious Australia's top nail art blog

Born and raised in Europe, Maria has had a diverse career from finance to fashion. As a hobby, she started a personal style blog, CrashingRed which quickly became one of the most popular Australian fashion blogs. She suddenly found herself in the front row of fashion parades and featured in online and print publications and so took up blogging full time.

On one rainy evening, Maria was creating another nail design for CrashingRed‘s nail art series, it turned out so well she dubbed it “so nailicious!”. A few months later in November 2012, she launched SoNailicious.com.

The new site has become an excellent outlet for her passion for art and beauty. Now, with over 50,000 people visiting SoNailicious ® every month, the site ranks as one of the top nail art blogs not just in Australia, but worldwide. Maria has been featured in high profile magazines such as Marie Claire, InStyle and Professional Beauty, worked with partners like Schwarzkopf, Mint Polish, Revitanail, Sea Siren and Ulta3 and most recently has been appointed OPI Australia Brand Partner.

When it comes to nails, Maria’s philosophy is that a great manicure its the best fashion accessory, not to mention a fantastic conversation starter. Maria’s goal is to elevate and transform nail art culture to a level of edginess and sophistication never seen before. Her signature nail art style – sharp, always uncompromisingly flawless minimalist patterns. You may already have seen her nail art designs on Pinterest. Well, now you know the artist!

In conjunction with managing SoNailicious and SoNailiciousBoutique, Maria can be found running nail art masterclasses all around Australia, traveling the world scouting for inspiration for her innovative nail stickers or developing new range of nail art brushes.
