10 manicurists you have to follow

10 manicuristas que tienes que seguir

Happy Lockdown Tuesday! We're back on the blog again, serving you a dose of inspiration and ideas for these days of confinement. We're bringing you a list of manicurists you shouldn't miss if you're one of those nail junkies who devours entire nail feeds. We've already introduced you to Betina Goldstein, whose work has been popularized (and never better said) by celebrities like Margaret Qualley , and who has made an impact at the Oscars by breaking away from classic manicures. Today we're bringing you ten manicurists you should follow if you're a nail art junkie. Let's get to it:

1. Brittney Boyce ( @nails_of_la )

Brittney Boyce tops the list. This Los Angeles-based manicurist has an Instagram account that offers tons of inspiration for those who love nail art but don't want a manicure that's too flashy. You'll see many variations on the classic French manicure, abstract and conceptual designs, geometric shapes, and lots of glitter . Don't hesitate to follow her because you'll fall in love with her designs.

2. Violetta ( @yeswhatnails )

This Barcelona-based manicurist has already appeared several times on our feed and blog because we LOVE her work. Following a bit in the vein of Brittney Boyce, she has some very cool designs, others more subtle, but all of them are very creative. Do you remember the tie-dye manicure or the neon French manicure? It's her work. And if you like stickers, you'll love her profile. She also has a shop and nail art courses on her website that might interest you.

3. Madeline Poole ( @mpnails )

Madeline Poole is another account you should follow. Poole is an editorial nail artist , and consequently, her attention to detail is second to none. You won't see a single crooked line or a speck of polish missing the nail. If you're looking for a high-precision manicure , this is the account you need to follow to fall in love.

4. Hang Nguyen ( @thehangedit )

With clients like Kate Hudson and Jennifer Garner, Hang has made her mark in Hollywood, and her account will tell you why. This talented nail artist creates very intricate designs that definitely require the finest touch. We particularly loved the floral designs, perfect for spring and sure to inspire some of you.

5. Mei Kawajiri ( @nailsbymei )

This Japanese manicurist (currently in New York) is the go-to nail artist for stars like Bella and Gigi Hadid, and Dua Lipa. Her experiments with 3D effects and jewelry have propelled her to the top, and her Instagram page is the nail version of street style. While you'll find everything, these manicures aren't just for the classics; this girl is as fierce as her designs.

6. Imarninails ( @imarninails)

Based in the UK, Imarninails has her salon in the heart of Shoreditch, and for London, the prices aren't particularly painful. Just take a look at her Instagram and you'll see that her style is incredibly versatile, from tortoiseshell prints to glitter. Celebrities like Karlie Kloss, Rita Ora, and FKA Twigs are regular clients of this nail artist. We love the videos she posts on her IGTV; they're mesmerizing.

7. Jessica Washick ( @jessicawashick )

If you want to stay up-to-date on the latest trends, you have to follow Jessica Washick. From appliqués and glitter to ombré techniques and clear nails, you can all find them on her profile. In fact, you've probably seen some ombrés on ours.

9. Alicia Torello ( @aliciatnails )

Alyssa is a professional nail artist in Cambridge, UK. Her work is limited to hand-painting on 100% natural nails, but she's also particularly good at creating colorful patterns and prints (flowers, lines, and spots, among others).
