Going to the nail salon is a form of self-care that I absolutely love. While I don’t get my nails done often, I do save some nail inspo I see on Instagram and Pinterest.

Talented nail techs are always needed and are in abundance as of late. Generally, you can request nearly anything and watch it come to life! I’ve seen my fair share of designs that had me in awe.

Below, I’ve curated a list of 5 nail accounts that give me major nail inspo and are also Black and Brown girl friendly!

1. @thetechuk

This business is located in North England! If you live in the area, you can get more info on her site for booking: https://thetechuk.as.me/schedule.ph.

2. @t.acrylix

This business is located in London. Fun fact: she happens to be a self-taught artist! For booking, you can find more info here: https://tacrylix.as.me/schedule.php.

3. @chantelbossynails

Look at this Black nail tech based in North Carolina! She has a ton of beautiful designs on her site. Find more info here: https://chantelbossynails.as.me/schedule.php.

4. @kouturenails

East London-based talent over here! If you love her designs but you don’t live nearby, she does press on nails as well! Follow @knlux_.

5. @dje.ldn

Honestly, what caught my eye on @dje_ldn’s account is how many dark-skinned clients she posts. A lot of nail accounts aren’t as diverse and I love that this one is! She is currently booked and busy for April but you can schedule an appointment for May, June, or anytime in the future!
