Meet the PRO: Giselle Caballero

"Nails should be both expressive and versatile!"

Giselle Caballero is a Mexi-Can (🇲🇽+🇨🇦) nail artist, educator, and content creator with a passion for elevated gel work and editorial nail design. She founded EGO Beauty to empower a new generation of nail professionals through hands-on training and creative guidance focused on structure, artistry, and confidence. Whether she is teaching, judging a competition, creating brand content, or working behind the chair, she loves capturing the storytelling power of nails — every set is a canvas.

Location: Kelowna, BC, Canada

Specialty: Editorial nails, gel enhancements, natural nails

Go-to Products: Builder gels, art gels, gel polish, embellishments, and effect powders.

Biggest Inspiration: Fashion, art, and the creative energy of the nail community — I love transforming everyday details into wearable art.

Nail philosophy: Nails should be both expressive and versatile — bold and artistic for the spotlight, soft and simple for everyday, or wildly imaginative for the competition stage. I believe creativity comes in all shapes and forms, and that high-quality education and mentorship are key to empowering others to grow with confidence.

Giselle on Modelones: “I love how Modelones makes trying out nail trends and colours super accessible, whether you’re a DIYer at home or a pro looking to try something new. Their colors and kits make it easy and fun to get creative!”

Product Recommendations

1. Cat Eye Gel Polish – absolutely stunning! It’s super pigmented and gives such a beautiful effect with very little effort. It’s perfect on its own or as a base for a trendy design — whether it’s a simple mani or layered over enhancements, the possibilities are endless!

2. 6-Color Gel Polish Kit – I love the variety of shades! They’re easy to apply and perfect for both everyday wear and creative sets. The smaller sizes are such a great idea too — it’s a fun way to test more colours before deciding which ones to get in full size.

3. Nail Foundation – Perfect for the natural nail girlies or anyone taking a break from enhancements. It gives that beautiful, shiny, “your nails but better” look, while still feeling strong and healthy. A total winner for in-between sets!
