The WNBA Draftee joins MiniLuxe as brand ambassador and investor, signaling a shift toward partnerships with a shared mission<\/em><\/p>\n

Boston, MA, April 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MiniLuxe Holding Corp. (TSXV: MNLX)(\u201cMiniLuxe\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d), the pioneer in clean nail care and ethical nail services, announces Kiki Rice, the 2026 NCAA champion, Big Ten Women\u2019s Basketball Tournament Most Outstanding Player and projected top WNBA Draft pick, as its inaugural brand ambassador. Reflecting MiniLuxe\u2019s commitment to championing the next generation of leaders shaping culture, the collaboration aligns with Kiki Rice\u2019s emphasis on purpose driven initiatives that are invested in the long-term growth of women and their impact beyond the court.<\/p>\n

As part of the partnership, Rice will become an equity holder in the company, reinforcing a shared belief in building long-lasting value and redefining what partnerships look like for today\u2019s athletes.<\/p>\n

During March Madness, Rice debuted two custom MiniLuxe press-on nail sets inspired by the UCLA Bruins and her personal style. She will continue this partnership at the 2026 WNBA Draft on April 13 where she will wear a MiniLuxe nail art manicure on the Orange Carpet, further bringing the collaboration to life at one of basketball\u2019s biggest cultural moments.<\/p>\n

\u201cKiki is not just an inspiring athlete, but an inspiring human who shares with us a set of common values and common standards and lives a life on and off the court that celebrates our purpose rooted in empowerment,\u201d said Tony Tjan, co-founder and CEO of MiniLuxe. \u201cHer approach to performance, discipline, and self-expression reflects the principles that shape MiniLuxe. This partnership is about building with someone who is invested not just in our services and product, but in the people and the broader opportunity to elevate the nail care industry while creating more durable pathways for talent.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m always looking for ways to personalize my everyday as well as gameday looks. I have gone to MiniLuxe for their custom press-ons and elevated nail designs throughout my college career, and I love the unique personal spin they give to my outfits and the team uniform,\u201d said Kiki Rice. \u201cI’ve been intentional to choose partnerships with brands that genuinely reflect who I am, my values and what I use in my everyday life, so I was naturally drawn to MiniLuxe and am honored to now partner with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rice will contribute to MiniLuxe\u2019s brand platform across storytelling, select campaigns, and product collaborations, including nail art collections and nail and hand treatments with additional community investment initiatives.<\/p>\n
