Hi! I'm Kayla—an 18-year-old Hispanic entrepreneur, full-time UCSD student, and the solo creative force behind this bubbly brand. I handcraft each set myself with care, joy, and way too much glitter on my desk.
Perluu started with one simple goal: save money on overpriced salon visits. What began as a budget-friendly solution quickly turned into a full-blown love affair with nails. I discovered that press-ons are more than just a beauty hack—they’re a way to express yourself, mix art and fashion, and show up in the world exactly how you feel that day.
As I played with colors, shapes, and trends, I realized this wasn’t just a hobby—it was my passion. I fell in love with the process: figuring out new techniques, chasing fun trends, and creating designs that felt like little works of wearable art.
Before Perluu was about nails, it started with makeup—always rooted in self-expression, individuality, and celebrating what makes us different. As I grew, so did the brand. Now, nails are my canvas, and Perluu has become the perfect blend of everything I love: creativity, empowerment, and confidence at your fingertips.
Perluu is for everyone who wants to feel seen, cute, and completely themselves. Whether you're here to glam up, switch it up, or just try something new—I’m so glad you’re here.
Thanks for supporting a small business, a big dream, and a whole lot of heart. 💖
— Kayla, Founder of Perluu
