Hi, my name is Mia, and I’m a 15-year-old from Brampton, Ontario, with a big dream.

I recently started MiMii Nails & Co., a teen-run Gel X nail business specializing in trendy, custom sets for students like me. I’m passionate about beauty, creativity, and building something of my own.

I’ve applied to several part-time jobs, but like many teens, I’ve found that most places aren’t hiring students right now. So instead of waiting for an opportunity, I decided to create one.

That’s why I’m launching this GoFundMe. I’m raising money to help cover the cost of professional tools and supplies I need to grow my business with confidence and care. Your donation will go directly toward:

My goal is to raise $3,000 to help cover these startup costs and set up a proper, professional workspace. Every dollar will help me create a safe, creative, and client-ready business I can grow over time.

Got gently used nail supplies or equipment?

If you have clean, gently used nail tools, lamps, or polishes in good condition that you're no longer using, I’d love to give them a second life! Please message me if you'd like to donate supplies instead.

Why MiMii Nails & Co.?

This isn’t just a side hustle, it’s my way of learning new skills, building independence, and showing that even at 15, I can turn a passion into something powerful. I’ve already started doing nails for prom and graduation season, and the support has been incredible. With the right tools, I know I can take this even further.

Every bit helps!

Whether it’s $5, $50, or a donated tool, your support means the world to me. And if you can’t give right now, sharing this page is another amazing way to help make my dream a reality.

Thank you so much for cheering me on and helping MiMii Nails & Co. grow!

With gratitude,

Mia – Founder of MiMii Nails & Co.
