Kimberly Ensign is a Licensed Master Nail Technician in the State of Illinois. She started doing nails in 1990 in Streator
originally at "The Mane Event" and last year became a member of the "McLean County Chamber of Commerce".

In March of 2004, Kim became an Educator for "EZ Flow Acrylic Nail Systems", and has traveled extensively with
them across the Midwest and has been trained by other global award winning nail educators. Besides working at
Trade Shows, a major part of her job is to help new students currently in school see their potential in the nail
industry, as well as mentor other nail technicians. In the summer of 2005 she also became an Educator for several
