Isabel Fisher has joined LNC Professional as Global Chief Executive Officer.
She comes to it from Nail Systems International, where she was Chief Operating Officer. That is three decades of the professional side of this industry: manufacturing, distribution, education, the unglamorous machinery that decides whether a technician in a small salon can actually get the product she was trained on.
People with that history do not usually move to a brand that launched last month. So the appointment says something about the brand, and it is worth setting out what.
What she joined
LNC Professional launched in Georgetown, Guyana on 7 September 2026 and entered the United States market later the same month. It is the first Guyanese led professional nail brand to go global.
The brand did not start in a boardroom. It started at a nail desk.
Lexann McPhoy ran a salon where the shade ranges on the market did not carry the complexions sitting in her chair. So she and her technicians mixed gels by hand, appointment after appointment, to reach the colour the client actually needed. Anyone who has done this knows the cost of it. You lose time you are not paid for. You waste product. And you cannot repeat the result exactly when she comes back in three weeks, which is the part that quietly damages a client relationship.
That hand mixing became the chemistry. The range opens with 26 shades, and the number is not a marketing figure. It is what it takes to carry the world's skin tones in the bottle rather than leaving a technician to blend her way there.
The full launch story, including how the range was built and who is behind it, was reported by .
Who is running it
Three women, on three continents, who came up through the same professional system.
Isabel Fisher, Global Chief Executive Officer. Formerly Chief Operating Officer, Nail Systems International. Lexann McPhoy Chief Executive Officer, LNC Professional (Guyana), and global Chief Brand Officer. Runs operations across Latin America and the Caribbean from Georgetown. Darlene Tewitz, supports Training and product testing, from Canada. A Purple Platinum Educator
The wider bench comes from the same place: former educators, nail technicians, distributors, resellers and executives. This is not a brand that hired its expertise in after the fact. It is a brand built by people who were already in the room.
What is actually in the range
A seven product gel liquid system, with the exclusions printed on the bottle rather than buried in a brochure.
Every product in the launched gel liquid range carries HEMA free and TPO free on its label. MMA free applies across the brand. The products are formulated for up to three weeks of wear retention.
Those three lines matter more than they look. HEMA is one of the most common causes of allergy in this trade, and the technician is exposed to it far more than the client is. TPO was prohibited in EU cosmetic products from September 2025. A technician who wants to work with safer chemistry has usually had to read the back of the bottle carefully and hope. Putting it on the front is a small decision that saves her that work.
The newest shade in the Rubber Base range, Bare Rose, is coming soon. It is an opaque, warm, rosy pink formulated to hold its colour on deeper skin tones rather than greying out on them, which is the thing most nudes get wrong.

The part that does not show up in a product photograph
The range was developed and tested in Georgetown.
That means it was worked in heat and humidity from the first day, not in a climate controlled lab and then shipped somewhere hot to find out. Most of the world's nail technicians work in that condition. Very few professional ranges are designed for it.
If you have ever had a product behave one way in a cool room and another way in a Caribbean afternoon, you already understand why this is a design decision rather than a piece of brand colour.
Why a manufacturer is thinking about your bookings
Because the product on the table is only one of the things that can go wrong in a working day.
The appointment has to be booked. The deposit has to be collectable. The stock room has to be right. And all of it has to work when the internet does not, which in a great many markets is a normal Tuesday rather than an edge case.
That is why the company backed LNC Pro Suite, business management software for beauty and grooming professionals built for Global South conditions. It works with or without an internet connection, and salons keep their own preferred payment platform rather than being pushed onto someone else's. In Guyana that means a salon can take a mobile money deposit and have it settle into its own merchant account.
You can look at the Suite at .
What this means if you are the technician
Three practical things.
You should not have to mix your way to a client's skin tone. If you are blending to reach a colour that ought to exist, the range you are buying was not built for your clients. That is a range problem, not a skill problem.
The exclusions should be on the bottle. You are the one with the most exposure. You should not have to go hunting for what is in the product you handle every day.
Repeatability is the quiet one. A shade you can reach from a single bottle is a shade you can reproduce at the next appointment, and the one after that. That consistency is what a client is really paying for when she comes back.
Where this goes next
LNC Professional opened with 26 shades, a seven product gel liquid system and a Rubber Base range that is still growing. It now has a chief executive who spent her career building the machinery that gets professional product into professional hands, in the markets where most of the world's technicians work.
Isabel Fisher will have her own account of why she took it, and it is hers to give rather than ours to write for her. What we can say is what she walked into: a range that exists because a salon in Georgetown refused to keep mixing colours that should already have been on the shelf.
