Hi, I’m Gemmina!
I’m Gemmina Olmstead—founder, lead educator, and nail artist behind Luxury Nails by Gemmina, a boutique studio located inside Blush and Bloom in Spokane Valley, Washington. With over 14 years of hands-on experience and a heart for teaching, I’ve transformed my love of nails into a full-blown mission: to educate, mentor, and empower licensed nail technicians to build thriving, skillful, and sustainable careers.

The Master Mentorship Experience
Real Education. Real Results.
I’ve seen the industry change in big ways—especially since 2020. Through it all, I’ve stayed grounded in one truth: growth comes when you feel seen, equipped, and supported. My mentorship style blends technical mastery with authentic connection. I won’t sugarcoat things, and I’ll always be in your corner cheering you on.
Whether you’re a new tech trying to find your voice or a seasoned artist wanting to raise your rates, book smarter, and polish your skills, I’m the teacher and encourager you’ve been looking for.
When I’m not teaching, you can find me in my garden, thrifting with a vanilla latte in hand, or spending time with my five-year-old son, Theo—who, if you ask me, is both my favorite person and a total scene-stealer. I find peace in quiet moments, love a good home project, and never shy away from going against the trends (hello, maximalism!).
My life outside the salon is deeply rooted in faith, family, and creating beauty in everyday routines—from fresh-cut flowers to a cozy reading nook with a warm cup of tea.
Whether you’re a client in my chair or a student in my class, my energy is grounding, creative, and full of purpose.
Outside the Studio
““I believe continued education provides knowledge, and that becomes empowerment.
You deserve to feel highly skilled in running your financials, knowing your menu,
acknowledging your prices, and just being a badass business owner.” ”
