Ludwig hand paints all of her nail designs, specializing in cartoon characters, which she practices on her husband. “It has been a journey trying to make a name for myself in such a saturated industry, but with hard work, anything is possible,” says Ludwig. “I dream of working runway shows and making crazy press-on sets for editorial shoots and campaigns.”
