Nail Art: Colorful, Creative Designs to Paint and Share

Dip your toe into the technicolor world of nail art with acclaimed nail artist Imarni ’s impressive and easy-to-execute designs!

When Imarni launched her nail salon in Shoreditch, London, at the tender age of 23, she had no idea where her artistic flare would take her. Now, 5 years later, after diligently practicing her designs and growing her business, she is creating complex nail art for celebrities and pop stars. In this class, she shares the tools and techniques to inspire budding nail artists, creative enthusiasts, or even fashionistas to create unique nail art for themselves at home. 

In this colorful class, Imarni will walk you through eight nail designs — from beginner to intermediate to complex — and inspire and give you the confidence to experiment with your own designs in future!

Using gel nail polish, you’ll try:

• Preparing, shaping and applying base color to your nails
• Beginner design techniques from dots and rose quartz to clouds
• Intermediate designs such as festival nails, color grades and shattered glass
• Advanced techniques like flames and Old English lettering

Whether you’re an aspiring nail artist looking to lock down some foundational techniques, a creative spirit exploring new ways to express yourself, or simply someone looking for a new way to accessorize your look, there is a design for everyone in this class. Prepare to be inspired by the technicolor, visual feast that is Imarni’s class and consider sharing some unique designs of your own afterwards — you’ll never look at your fingernails the same again!

This class is appropriate for all levels; however, you will need a specific set of tools before starting. Imarni’s techniques use gel polish with a UV lamp and some designs require additional materials. Please see the Resources tab for a complete list of recommended and required materials.
