From getting GRAMMY-ready with Madison Beer, to serving looks with Serena Williams, this pro has worked with some of the most well-known celebs of our time. Read on to learn about her fave OPI summer shades, her skyrocketing career, and her plans for the future.
OPI: How did your journey to become a nail artist begin?
Sreynin: My journey began at the age of 16 when my friend first invited me to work at her parents' nail salon for the summer.

OPI: Which shade from our new Summer '24 collection, My Me Era, is your favorite?
OPI: You've already worked with countless celebrities in your career, such as Snoh Aalegra, Queen Latifa, Bebe Rexha, and more! How did you get to work with celebrities like these?
Sreynin: Well, while working at the nail salon one day a client told me I belonged somewhere else, and from there I received my first celebrity house call request. It was Lil Kim; she was on Dancing with the Stars. I worked on the whole season with her and she was so lovely I told myself, "I COULD JUST DO THIS…" so I did. Soon after, I got another request through word of mouth, and it was Serena Williams. And the list will go on and on from there.
