Meaning Behind 4DAYZE
I’m not just building a brand, I’m building a legacy.
My name is Denay Sky, but most people know me as DAYZE. What started as a nickname has grown into a movement rooted in healing, hustle, and higher purpose. Every class I teach, every nail I paint, every product I create it all comes from a deeper place. Because none of this was handed to me. I’ve been through it heartbreak, loss, addiction, starting over, and still showing up. I turned the ugliest moments of my life into something beautiful, not just for me, but for others who needed to see that it’s possible. That you can start again and win.
What does DAYZE mean?
It’s become more than a name.
It’s everything I stand on to shape who I become.
Let’s break it down together, because I don’t want you to just learn nails. I want you to walk away from this process transformed. Every letter in DAYZE means something. And once you understand it, you’ll start carrying yourself different because you’ll realize you were never average.
- D - Driven | You don’t wait for handouts. You create opportunity. Being driven means you move with purpose, even when nobody’s watching. Even when you’re tired, heartbroken, or broke you show up. Why? Because your purpose doesn’t stop just because life gets heavy. The fact that you’re here proves you’re built for this.
- A - Anointed | You’re not here by accident. You’re here on assignment. Anointed means you’ve been protected, covered, and pulled through things that should’ve destroyed you. And no, it wasn’t luck. It was alignment. You’ve got a gift. Start walking like you know it.
- Y - Yielded | You’re not trying to control every step anymore, you’re learning to trust the process. Yielded means you’ve accepted that growth might hurt sometimes. Healing might stretch you. But you’re letting it happen, because you know what’s on the other side is worth it. You don’t fight the storm, now you let it refine you.
- Z - Zoned In | Your energy is sacred. Your focus is sharp. Zoned In means you’re not looking left and right anymore. You’re not chasing trends or clout you’re creating from purpose. You know your lane, and you stay in it, because that’s where the power is. Keep your boundaries tight and your vision clear.
- E - Evolved | You’re not who you used to be and thank God for that. Evolved means you’ve outgrown the old version of you. You’ve broken patterns, left behind pain, and made choices that scared you but they saved you. You didn’t just survive. You transformed. And people are watching you rise.
What This Means For You
When you see DAYZE from now on, I don’t want you to think of it as just a brand or a class name. I want you to see a mirror. A reflection of what you’re becoming. A reminder of who you are when things get hard. Whether you’re in the classroom, at your nail table, or out in the world, I want you to remember..
Be Driven. Stay Anointed. Remain Yielded. Get Zoned In & Keep Evolving
