For my final segment, I wanted to share a small piece of the diversity within my artistry — a glimpse into the world that exists somewhere between my imagination, my memories, my people, and my spirit.
So, welcome to LivLand. ✨
A little world where beauty carries meaning, where every detail has a story, and where art becomes a way of honoring where we come from, what we’ve endured, and what continues to live within us.

Look 01 — Elk Teeth for Our Women
Hair: @dee_honeyyyy 
This set was created to hold two truths at once: wealth and hardship.
I used jelly to represent the blood of our Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, while the red cat eye became a small glimmer of hope — a reminder that we continue to pray for our women to return home safely.
The elk teeth were attached to long chains of varying lengths, intentionally uneven and constantly moving. To me, they represent the idea that wealth, beauty, and success are never without a cost — and that cost does not always belong to us.
Elk have only two ivory teeth, which makes them incredibly valuable to many of our people. But that value exists because an elk had to give something of itself.
That is the circle of life.
We receive, we honor, we give back.
For me, these nails are a reminder that nothing we hold is truly ours forever. Everything is connected, and everything comes with responsibility.

Look 02 — No Rain, No Flowers
MUA: Mission Beatt
Rain reminds us that growth requires conditions.
If you know me, you know I have a serious obsession with the clouds. 😂☁️ They have always felt spiritual and metaphorical to me — constantly changing, carrying stories, bringing something necessary to the earth.
I knew one day I had to turn those little blobs in the sky into something more.
This set was heavily inspired by the Long Fringe Dress from @houseofsutai’s SS25 collection. The way the dentalium drapes, moves, and falls wherever it wants reminded me of rain — unpredictable, gentle, powerful, and necessary.
I paired the dentalium with chains that I transformed into little 3D raindrops with gel.
Because no rain, no flowers.

Ičáhi dump pt. 4 🧚🏽‍♀️
In order of show appearance.
On August 22, I had the honor of bringing the Bay’s first nail show to life.
When I dreamed up Ičáhi, I knew I wanted the energy of a fashion show without the fashion itself becoming the focus. I wanted the nails to be the story — to create a world around them and allow each set to exist as its own piece of art.
After spending the past year immersed in so much Native fashion and artistry while in Santa Fe, I found myself inspired to approach the concept from a different perspective. I wanted to build a visual language where the nails, beauty, hair, and styling all worked together rather than competing for attention.
I asked each model to begin with a shared “goddess” foundation: cream-colored dreads as our base, with each look then evolving through jewelry, makeup, hair, and nails. Every detail was intentional. Every element was there to help tell the story.

For my next personal segment, I knew I couldn’t leave out my infamous annual 420 project — Strains as Nail Sets.
But this year, I intentionally kept the segment small. In a way, it was an acknowledgment to myself that it’s okay to move away from cannabis.
Cannabis has been so deeply intertwined with my brand, my nails, and my artistry for so long that stepping outside of that world has felt strange. It’s been such a huge part of my creative identity that pushing past it meant pushing past a box I didn’t even realize I had built around myself.
This show helped me see my artistry on a completely different level. It reminded me that the creativity was never just in the subject matter — it was always in me.
And let’s just say… in the month since the show has passed, I’m finally out of that box. 🤪✨

Look 01: Blue Dream
MUA : @alchemistmua Dessy EXCEEDED ANY DREAM I COULDVE HAD FOR THIS LOOK!!! In my head I imagined blues. So when Ziggy stepped out in YELLOW??? I was blown away. 
Hair : @yolies.eyecandy 
I created this design in 2019 while sitting at Lake Merritt on 4/20.
The sky was the bluest it could possibly be. There was smoke everywhere from the holiday, and everywhere I looked, people were walk by @ndnbabynails
