She regularly posts make-up tutorials, make-up first impressions, beauty tips, and product reviews. At the end of the year, she became one of the most popular beauty bloggers in Myanmar.[9][10]

Nay Chi Oo participated as a judge in Make me Beautiful by L'Oréal, a reality make-up contest TV show on selected make-up artists in Myanmar, and also in New Face Actor Choice contest of Kha Thone Lone film production in 2018.[11][12]

Emerging into the spotlight in 2018, she ventured into acting by making her debut in the feature film Yan Thu (Rivals). Starring alongside Nay Min and Wutt Hmone Shwe Yi, her performance as Lay Pyay Nu Thway garnered critical praise, boosting her popularity.[13]

In 2019, she starred in her second big-screen Ae The (The Guest).[14][15][16] She then starred as the female lead in the drama Puyi Tha alongside Tyron Bejay, Cham Min Ye Htut and Khine Thin Kyi.

On 15 November 2018, she launched Your Social Media BFF 2019 year planner book under her own band, Beautybynaychilabel.[18]

Political criticism

In the aftermath of the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état, Nay Chi Oo stayed ominously silent for the first few weeks after the coup, only responding after her fans requested her to do so. When she did join the protests, it was with an entourage of bodyguards. She became the subject of social boycotts and a social punishment movement due to her association with a high-ranking military family. She tried to donate to a Civil Disobedience Movement Support charity, and the donation was refunded to her, with the organization saying they didn't want her money.[19][20] A number of business brands that have collaborated with Nay Chi Oo have announced the end of their partnership.[21]

Nay Chi Oo shared her perspective on the military coup as someone who grew up in a military family after facing criticism on social media. She expressed, “I come from a military family background. However, I condemn anyone who supports this state rebellion against the will of the people".[22]

On 30 March 2021, she was blacklisted by Myanmar Bloggers Community.[23]
