Giannapoulos has been fascinated by the beauty industry since childhood. She studied fashion at college and has a master’s degree in it. After graduating, she began working as a freelance makeup artist, travelling all over the world to do the makeup for everything from weddings to fashion shoots. She was also one of only 10 applicants to be accepted to study at the highly exclusive Polimoda Fashion School in Florence, Italy, receiving training from the design team of legendary fashion label Roberto Cavalli.

Makeup was always a hobby as well as a vocation for Giannapoulos, and in 2012, she set up her Vegas Nay YouTube channel to share her expertise. She became a huge success, particularly when she moved onto Instagram as well. Today her YouTube content has been viewed more than 2.9 million times and her Instagram content is a staple of many feeds.
