Hi lovelies,

Kandee Johnson is one of the fiercest beauty influencers out there, so it was no surprise that the launch of her make-up collaboration with achi Beauty was one of the not-to-be missed events of the season. 

We partied at the Doheny Room in West Hollywood, got pampered with gel manicures and massages, munched on scrumptious sushi, and sipped on yummy signature cocktails.

Interview with the CEO of achi Beauty, Valerie Anderson

What made you think of this line? 
I own a nail salon in Manhattan Beach and there was not enough high end brands, that I felt were as good as the main brands so I wanted to come out with something that combined every quality that I loved about other brands so this is how achi was born, when we went to Japan found a chemist that could make everything that I want.

What inspired you?
All the women that are my clients, that I see every day because everybody loves to get their nails done and I wanted something healthy for them and also made them feel good when they get it done that’s why I made it strawberry scented nail polish.

How do you value the power of the beauty industry?
I value it very much, I feel really is now the pioneers of the beauty industry their options are very important to every brand. 

What method of outreach will capture your brand the best Instagram, Facebook, twitter?Social media, Instagram right now it is very strong in putting your brand out there.

What is your favorite thing about achi? What can we see from the brand? 
I love everything about it, the colors especially the rose gold, the nude colors, if you see the packing its all beige, pink and rose gold and very feminine. We just came out with the rose gold tweezers and having a presence of a luxury feel to the beauty and nail industry. 

How is this perfumed? 
We use a natural strawberry scented oil.
