]]>Hohua was always creative in her youth and enjoyed painting and drawing, and makeup art allowed her to express her artistic side through a different medium. She eventually opened her own makeup studio in Brisbane and found international fame outside of Australia thanks to the power of social media, with over 150,000 followers on Instagram and 80,000 more on TikTok.
Even though her studio specializes in bridal and formal looks, it’s not what Hohua’s social media channels are best known for. She found viral fame with her intricate makeup looks that include a lot of dreamy and whimsical elements.
Hohua is a true master when it comes to crafting eye makeup looks that look straight out of a fairy tale and involve a lot of different elements. From butterflies and gems to glitter and hand-painted flowers, she’s open to using all the materials and skills at her disposal to help her clients feel like real-life princesses.

]]>Partanen’s a talented makeup artist behind the Instagram page @ssipe_, who’s followed by over 200,000 people on this social media platform alone. She’s been on her makeup journey for quite some time, and she made it to the top 30 at Nyx Cosmetics Nordics’ Face Awards before her content even blew up online.
Partanen embraces a “Halloween all day every day” philosophy with her makeup art, and many of her transformations look straight out of a horror movie. She always lists all the products she used to achieve the look in question, but each one also requires some serious makeup skills and hours of hard work.
Many of Partanen’s makeup looks are rooted in popular culture, and see her cosplaying as her favorite fictional characters, such as Pinhead, Maleficent, Corpse Bride, Joker, and many more. She’s equally open to creating original looks, but they always involve elaborate makeup transformation and look straight out of this world.

]]>Boswall’s love affair with nail art started in 2020 when she bought her first gel kit and started doing her own nails out of boredom. After almost two years of trial and error, she found herself so drawn to nail art that she was creating several manicures a week, and she was finally confident enough to share them with the world.
“I’ve always loved art as well as doing makeup and having my nails done. So, I combined them and became completely obsessed and taught myself how to use builder gel and to do nail art. I created this account as a way to share my nails because I was changing them so frequently that it felt like a waste,” she wrote in one of her Instagram stories.
Boswall attracted over 270,000 followers to her Instagram page, and what separates her from most other nail artists is the fact she’s not doing other people’s nails. She’s a content creator first, and her nail art looks are meant to serve as inspiration for other people who are out of ideas for their next manicure.

]]>Maddy is a talented makeup artist based in Winnipeg, Canada, who’s been passionate about makeup since her high school years. She was still a teen when she started experimenting with makeup and sharing her transformations on social media.
Her skills significantly evolved as the years went by, and there’s no makeup look she can’t pull off these days. Most of her makeup looks involve vibrant colors, fun patterns, and bold details, but she’s gravitating towards dreamer style these days.
Butterfly, heart, and star motifs are regularly making their way into her art, and she’s not relying on makeup palettes and brushes alone to bring them to life. She’s using everything from pearls and lace to rivets and rhinestones to help her makeup look truly pop.
Maddy is mostly showcasing her makeup talent on Instagram these days, while her TikTok features a different type of content. She’s using it to share hilarious videos filmed alongside her mom Shanny, which attracted over a million followers to their page.

]]>Hirsemann was in awe of other nail artists for years, spending countless hours watching tutorials on YouTube, before finally deciding she has what it takes to follow in their footsteps. She started sharing her nail art on Instagram and attracted over 240,000 followers, becoming one of the most popular manicurists in Germany.
Hirsemann created hundreds of amazing nail art looks over the years, but ended up catching our eye with her Bridgerton-inspired looks. They’d be the talk of the ton if they were around during the Regency Era, and she’d certainly catch Lady Whistledown’s eye.
Hirsemann’s first Bridgerton video has been watched by 2.7 million people, and it sees her crafting nail art looks inspired by Colin Bridgerton, Penelope Featherington, and Will Mondrich. The second video is equally impressive, and it sees her mimicking the delicate patterns of outfits worn by Francesca Bridgerton, Tilley Arnold, and Eloise Bridgerton.

]]>We’re ready to step up our fashion game with the latest nail art trends. While a fresh, minimal manicure is always welcome, this summer is all about bold designs, neon colors, and eye-popping patterns.
by Gracie J ?? (@theeditorialnail)“I derive inspiration from other places, from all kinds of artists, like jewelry designers,” said J in an interview with Coveteur. “But sometimes I just have an idea that pops in my head.” Such ideas include modern art-inspired nails, sculpted nails that incorporate jewelry, and even letter-shaped nails.
According to J, her passion is linked to her childhood, and more specifically her mother: “My mom is a very flashy person; she always had her nails done,” she noted. “If we’re going to a simple BBQ, she’ll wear a gypsy skirt and shirt with chains—she’s the flashy Haitian mom.”
Growing up in Haiti also meant attending a school that maintained a strict regime when it comes to your nails: “I also went to school in Haiti for a little while when I was younger, and they would line you up and check your hygiene, including your nails,” says J. “They would send you home if it wasn’t up to par.”
Currently based in New York City, J is the former Lead Nail Stylist for TNT’s critically-acclaimed television series CLAWS. And with over 90,000 followers on Instagram, she isn’t showing any signs of slowing down. If you’re looking to upgrade your fashion style, start here!

Sometimes, she groups all nails on a single hand into a single canvas for even more astonishing works.
Rahey originally started a career in computer science, being part of the team behind several startups. She started being interested in the beauty and cosmetics industry in 2014 while trying to develop an app that would focus on beauty services. During that time, she discovered the world of nail art and ended up being fascinated by it.
“I would spend hours in the bathroom with all this nail polish,” Rahey shared in a chat with SF Chronicle.
Since then, Rahey honed her nail art skills to an impressive level, sharing her works on social media and gaining a huge following. She also started a successful business, Pamper Nail Gallery, which provides fake nails with all sorts of motifs, including her own illustrations.
