Christina Kao is the co-founder and co-CEO of Le Mini Macaron. The privately-funded, indie beauty brand launched in 2015 with a focus on making gel manicures easy and affordable to DIY. LMM’s best-selling kits come with an iconic macaron LED lamp that dries polish in an instant. Since launching with Target this past year, the brand has had over 15 viral TikTok videos including “DIY mani in the car” and “DIY mani on the plane”

Today, the brand is present in the US, across Europe, and several international markets. Christina and her team are based in Barcelona and manage the business end-to-end – supply chain in Asia and Europe, all international logistics, retail distribution in US/EU, two ecommerce sites, and all marketing. In addition to Target, the brand is available at ULTA, Nordstrom, Sephora France, ASOS, Zalando, Douglas, and more.

Christina has reimagined what self-care could be – offering fun, fabulous, and affordable gel manicures that any nail novice or expert can achieve!
