Snobette Ten: Next Level Nail Art Leading The Art Form In A New Direction

This week’s Snobette Ten is a best-of round up of recent nail art, a uniquely feminine art form that’s received a tailwind as of late thanks to the return to favor of in-your-face luxury logos that translate oh-so-perfectly to nails. Cardi B vis-a-vis New York nail artist Jenny Bui can also be credited for creating renewed demand for super blinged-out 3D manicures.

The artist we highlighted are some of the consistent greats in the game, including Lila Robles, Anouska Scarlet Anastasia Ryan, Jenny Bui, Sarah Nguyen, Krocaine, Spifster, Britney Tokyo, Marina Iwokashi, Lady Fancy Nails and Haus of Lacquer.

Check them out below. Last week our Snobette Ten was a highlight of Rihanna‘s best looks in 2017.

Britney Tokyo: Erykah Badu tribute nails for DJ Jasmine Solano

starting the year off with my ultimate mood, @erykahbadu nails by @britneytokyo (catch the photo of Badu on the thumb). MAMA’S GUN still my favorite album & still relates to navigating life as a complex, vulnerable & infinitely strong woman. #orangemoon
