Our Team
Lucia Pan – Nail Design Expert, Beauty Coded
Lucia Pan is a nail design expert turned blogger and trend forecaster at Beauty Coded. She started out self-taught, learning on her own nails and building a sharp eye for what looks current and what lasts past a one-week hype cycle. After that, she expanded her education across China, Europe, and the United States, giving her a global view of nail style and beauty direction. Lucia tracks runway beauty, creator-led trends, product launches, and street style signals to predict what’s next – and to explain why it’s catching on in the first place.
Harper Reid – Celebrity Manicures Editor, Beauty Coded
Harper Reid is the Celebrity Manicures Editor at Beauty Coded, covering nail looks from red carpets, premieres, tours, and major brand campaigns. She’s the person who catches the manicure details everyone screenshots – then verifies the who, what, and when so it’s not just vibes. Harper tracks nail-artist credits, photo agencies, event calendars, and social posts to document recurring colors, finishes, and shapes across celebrities. Her coverage focuses on what’s actually trending, what’s already everywhere, and what’s quietly building momentum before it hits peak.
Simone Carter – Editor-in-Chief, Beauty Coded
Simone Carter is the Editor-in-Chief of Beauty Coded, leading the site’s voice across nail trends, celebrity coverage, and beauty culture. With 10+ years in beauty media, she brings strong editorial standards to a space that moves fast – and she keeps it grounded in sources, context, and clear reporting. Simone sets coverage priorities, edits features, and builds the guidelines that keep Beauty Coded accurate and consistent. She’s also the final filter on trend claims, making sure the site calls what’s next with receipts, not guesses.
