Hi, I'm Mila.
I'm the face behind MOOD, a mum of 2 crazy boys and a marketing specialist at an interior company.
I started Mood after becoming increasingly frustrated with the experience of getting my nails done. After trying what felt like every salon possible, I kept thinking… surely this cannot be worth spending $100 every few weeks to sit silently across from a stranger touching my hands for two hours while slowly inhaling mystery chemicals.
The endless appointments, rushed results, expensive upkeep, and somehow never leaving with the exact nails I asked for eventually pushed me into the world of press-ons. And after having kids? Forget it. My manicures barely stood a chance — chipped gel, broken tips, and money down the drain within days. Also, who wants to spend weekends in a salon when you could be creating memories instead. Getting my nails done felt like a chore, not like wellness or me time.
I needed something quicker, easier, more affordable, and realistic for my lifestyle. Also, I get bored of my nails fast and wanted to switch them up constantly (hello, undiagnosed ADHD energy).
Then came a trip back home to Germany, where press-ons were everywhere. A close friend showed me hers, and the second I got back to Australia, I ordered my first set. I was immediately obsessed. It finally felt like I’d found the answer to all my nail-related problems and I couldn't see myself ever stepping foot into a salon again.
The only issue? Everything on the market felt overly tacky, outdated, or just… not me. The branding, the colours, the overall vibe — none of it felt elevated or wearable.
So I decided to create MOOD — modern press-ons designed to actually look good, fit into real life, and make great nails feel easy again.
I hope you will feel like me and our press-ons will be the beauty solution that you've been looking for and secretly manifesting. :)
Thank you for being here on the journey & supporting my small biz
