Oh hello, i'm

Leila Shetler

​

Hi, I'm Leila, the nail artist behind Nails & More By Lj. 

I create bold, detailed nail sets for women who want their nails to make a statement. If you're into long sets, bling, 3D details, or recreating inspo with a custom twist... you're in the right chair. 

​

I am a licensed nail tech who graduated from Capri College in February 2025. I've been obsessed with nails since 2020. My work is all about two things: creative nail art and healthy, strong nails. That means I focus on safe prep, quality products, clean practices, and aftercare education, so your nails can look amazing and still feel good between appointments. 

​

When you're in my room, it's a vibe. I keep a snack + drink bar, and you can choose your comfort level--music, a show, or just quiet time. I'm more of a listener than a talker, and I want you to feel relaxed, seen, and taken care of from start to finish.

​

A little about me: I grew up in Iowa, come from a big family, and I'm an animal lover through and through. I knew it was a process to do what i've wanted to do since 2020, so I tried going to college and playing a sport, and I just knew that it wasn't for me. While I was at school to become a physical therapist and a starting soccer player i always had being a nail tech in the back of my head. I ended up getting hurt while playing and knew this was my opportunity to actually succeed in something I've always thought about doing. So I did it, i'm proud to be building my first business and creating a space for women who love being bold and unapologetically themselves.
