Black Nail Artists that are Iconic, Innovative, & Inspiring!
Monique, Founder of P.R.M.I.T Beauty and aka @drasticpassionnailz in the entertainment nail world, designed unique and artistic nails for all kinds of clients. Monique represents herself and has elevated her career by designing for well know celebrities. Showcased above is Celebrity Actress Meagan Tandy featured in JeJune magazine, rocking freshly designed Bat woman nails by Monique.
Meagan plays Sophie Moore, for the new DC Comic series, Bat Woman.
Bernadette (@Bernadettenails) was working on a fashion shoot with Lil’ Kim. The shoot was for a denim campaign, but Kim was also surfing a wave of enthusiasm for her contribution to the Junior M.A.F.I.A. single “Get Money.” That became the manicurist’s source of inspiration. She reached into her little nylon wallet, pulled out a dollar bill, cut it into pieces and strategically applied bits of currency to Kim’s acrylic nails to create an eye-popping manicure by way of the U.S. Treasury.
Those nails were part of an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, “Items: Is Fashion Modern,”.
Aja (@ajackdannie), who has been using her artistic talents to create custom nail sets inspired by some of today’s biggest acts in music. Walton is a self-taught nail artist specializing in custom nail art design, which she refers to as “ten mini masterpieces.” Aja Walton, represented by See Management, is an exceptionally detailed artist with intricate designs that have since caught the eyes of several creatives. Aja is an artist, except she has a variety of ten little canvases to explore.

Tahsiyn's (@thenailphilosophy) page is a one-stop shop for unique designs. Mixing colors and prints, the artist frequently does 10 different looks on each nail. Sometimes the design is similar, like in the above 3D sea shells, and in others, like her galaxy set each nail has an entirely different structure.
Gina (@ginaedwards_) is a celebrity nail artist and brand ambassador for KISS, and her feed is filled with tons of eye-popping looks featuring everything from colorful, dotted patterns to animal prints.
