We had the good fortune of connecting with Candice Mckinnon and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Candice, how do you think about risk?
Taking a risk is important and a MUST! You never know what may come behind taking a risk. The role I took in taking a risk is entreprenurship, starting Glam by Candy was a big risk, but has brought me great opportunities and lead me to new directions. Take a risk, you never know what may happen.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Well, what sets my nail art apart from others is I don’t copy others nail art, all of my art comes from me, my nail art is different and set apart. You won’t find another nail art design like mine. I got where I am today by not quitting but taking breaks when needed, to regroup and refocus. It’s definitely not easy, especially since I’m still a one man show. I’ve overcome the challenges by staying in prayer and finding a solution to the challenges. I’ve learned not to throw all your eggs in one basket, don’t accept all opportunities and be careful who you choose as a brand ambassador if you choose to have one. Glam by Candy is a luxury brand geared towards selfcare and enhancing your beauty, you’re nails is a reflection of yourself! So if you’re looking for different in your style of nails and nail design choose Glam by Candy Today!

 

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I must say I need to get out more! Longhorn Steakhouse in Garner, NC is great, Stars and Strikes in Raleigh, NC, Visiting Jordan Lake because I love the water! We would both get out and explore!

 

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I’d love to give a shoutout to my husband Lemarr (owner of Mckinnon Trucking LLC) and my aunt Erica Fenderson (owner of Styles by E) located in New Bern, NC for their steady support, encouragement and love! They have been my day 1’s since I started Glam by Candy in 2021.
