My Story

My name is Kelley Sanders, and I’m a student at Texas Tech University. I am an animal science major with a passion for livestock care and management.I started doing nails for my friends and roommate in December of 2024 and realized I found doing nails very therapeutic. However to provide nail services like manicures you have to go through beauty school and get a nail technician license, which was out of the question for someone who was already in the middle of getting her degree. Then I thought, “what about press on nails?. Press on nails provide more convince for me as the creator, and also for the consumer who doesn’t have to spend 2-3 hours in my chair getting their nails done. Now it’s as simple as clicking order. What started as a small artsy hobby, has grown into a small business that I love and foster.

I was tired of paying for subpar designs at the salon that take hours to get done. That’s why I created Dakota Rylan Designs. I was absolutely tired of my nails not reflecting my personality and style, and also being so outrageously expensive. I wanted nails to be BETTER than salon quality for less than half the price. With my high quality press ons, you can wear them up to 2 weeks at time. They’re also reusable! Nails aren’t just a want, they’re a NEED for anyone who wants to elevate their style and show off their personality.
