Started from a “couple bottles of nail polish” four years ago, Cretia’s Nail Heaven represents a triumph for its proprietor, Lucretia Ann Sinclair, who says she has turned adversity into the fuel for her success.
Sinclair, 34, also known as “Cretia,” started the business after she was left with the task of fending for her two sons, now ages 15 and 9, as well as her niece, now 17, who she has been single-handily taking care of during the last four years.
“The push that made me decided to start the business was the separation from my ex-husband. I was basically left with two sons and my niece,” the single mother of two told Stabroek Weekend.
