Tools & Training Built by a Nail Tech, for Nail Techs

LP Nails was founded by Lucy Pastorelli, a nail technician and educator with over 13 years of industry experience.
From long days behind the nail desk to opening her own academy, Lucy’s goal has always been clear: to raise the standard of education and equipment for nail techs everywhere, promoting industry excellence.

Frustrated by poor-quality tools and outdated online training, she created LP Nails | Lucy Pastorelli Tools, a brand focused on high-performance tools and real-world education that empowers techs to work better, safer, and more confidently.

Lucy teaches ABT and Guild-accredited Nail courses and champions a ‘hands on’ student learning approach, featuring as much practical experience as possible with the use of live models in the training sessions.

“I think it’s important to see your students work every step of the way, to ensure they are practising the correct methods and techniques, especially when using the electric file (eFile) - sitting behind a screen to learn isn’t what we’re about here at LP.  I ensure my students leave the classroom, confident that they can practise these techniques on their clients, and we stay there until they do.' 

Lucy’s mission didn’t stop in the classroom.

After years of watching students arrive with substandard kits, she set out to create her own line of professional-quality, affordable tools, equipment that would perform beautifully, last longer, and support nail techs' wellbeing.

‘I wanted to provide my students with quality, yet affordable equipment - I believe the nail industry is changing and technicians are understanding the importance of using quality tools and equipment, not only for longevity of the tools, but also for perfect performance and their wellbeing too”

The closure of the Beauty industry during the pandemic allowed Lucy time to dive into product development. After months of research and Zoom calls with engineers and manufacturers, she partnered with a Yorkshire-based company that specialises in medical-grade surgical tools.

The result? The launch of the LP Black Tool Collection, a range of strong, hygienic, and sleek tools, coated in DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) for extra durability and performance.

Not stopping at tools, Lucy introduced the LP eFile with a range of professional drill bits. There's now over 100 LP drill bits available -  From diamond dust prep drill bits, to carbide and the new German Drill bits - which offer 2 drill bits in 1, meaning there is something for everyone, no matter your level.
