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. 

Ready for your next set? Bring your inspo and let's create something you've never had before. You can book online here, but first, let's choose your services
