She is the daughter of Norwegian-born psychosexual counselor, dominatrix, writer, producer, director and former actress Eva Norvind who was in turn the daughter of a Russian prince and a Scandinavian sculptress.

Nailea's biggest break came in at the age of 17 with the telenovela Quinceañera opposite Adela Noriega and singer Thalía. The same year she participated in the film Gaby: A True Story. After a few small roles in several other telenovelas she made Cuando llega el amor again with Lucero and then took a break from television. She returned eight years later on the telenovela Preciosa. She has since then obtained roles in six more telenovelas as well as the sitcom Diseñador ambos sexos with Héctor Suárez Gomís.
