Elmien Scholtz - Founder and developer of Bio Sculpture Gel, CEO and President of Bio Sculpture International.Elmien said: "When I developed Bio Sculpture Gel I wanted a product that could be applied over natural nails, gel extensions, or artificial tips, that doesn't chip or wear away at the free edge. I wanted all this with a shiny, flexible, hard protection that gives a neat well groomed appearance."A Proud HeritageOne South African woman's dream changed the lives of thousands worldwide!In the small, idyllic, Eastern Free State town of Clocolan South Africa lay a success story second to none, from one little girl's fascination with beautiful nails, to an international company that now exports to over 30 countries.After completing her CIDESCO (Committee International de Esthetique et de cosmotolagé) course in cosmetic science at the Stellenbosch Academy in 1980, Elmien realized that a more effective manner of obtaining well groomed, natural looking nails was necessary. She soon came to the conclusion that there was a large gap between natural nail care and its counterpart, namely long, heavy, built up nails or plastic false tips. Elmien had a vision to give women beautiful, strong, healthy nails which would be easy to maintain and which they could admire and be proud of.Initially utilizing her own salon La Femme, in Port Elizabeth SA, she launched a comprehensive national and international investigation of consumer needs in the nail industry. It resulted in years of research and development, dedication and devotion to fulfill her vision. With a wish list of characteristics for 'The Perfect Nail System' she was unstoppable.
