Scrolling idly on Instagram, watching nail tutorials and eye-popping manicures is our idea of a good time. But even amongst nail artists,
Madeline Poole’s designs are something else.
Don’t take our word for it. The New York-based manicurist was appointed Global Color Ambassador of Sally Hansen in January of 2014; and if that’s not enough, her nail art has adorned the pages of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, InStyle, Interview, and Dazed & Confused, amongst other prominent publications.
Her designs are simple but striking, focusing on geometric lines and patterns that remind of modernist artists. Poole uploads most of her work on her Instagram page, where more than 130 thousand people follow her. You can also look for her manicure tutorials on Vogue.com, TeenVogue.com, Refinery29, The Coveteur, and IntoTheGloss.
Here are some of our favorite designs by her:
