Hi, I’M HAVANA, THE ARTIST BEHIND APEX.
This isn’t just a business; it’s wearable art that champions authenticity. In an era where art can be mass-produced and easily copied, APEX creates a coveted art category.
My Approach AND STORY
What began as a nail art hobby during 2020 isolation transformed into my passion today. In this fast-paced world, the pandemic gave us a chance to slow down. Isolation stripped away distractions and judgment, allowing me to focus on what truly mattered.
In 2023, I left my home base high school for a semester, opting for an alternative learning experience with a different school schedule. This freedom allowed me to dedicate my daily routine and homework to a passion project: APEX.
As a Canadian Métis living in Winnipeg, Manitoba, APEX allows me to express my roots, communicate trilingually, and use my artistic talents to bring beauty to our community.
LUXURY IS EVIDENT WITHOUT SAYING A WORD.
Handmade and handpainted labels don’t always equate to high quality or luxury. However, the assurance of quality is palpable. You can see and feel the care and talent that goes into each nail. That’s exactly how we want luxury to speak.
CONVENIENCE & CARE
Caring for your natural nails has been the root of APEX. Every nail set is painted by the founder, opting to stay away from mass production and creates a reusable alternative.
You can shop nail care products to hand-painted press-ons on our website, or visit us in-person at events and markets listed in our website’s announcement bar. Follow on Instagram to stay updated on my next pop-up location!
