Born in Tokyo and based in LA, she’s won several international competitions and has amassed more than 200k followers on her Instagram page. Inspired by street and high fashion, her nail art caters to the mixed high-brow-low-brow aesthetic, adored by celebrities.

“I wanted to be a painter when I was girl — and now I’m painting on nails!” exclaimed the artist in an interview with Nail Pro. Mixing multiple nail styles, her designs include holographic art, portraits, prints, typography, and even jewelry.

Talking about her work ethics she explained the importance of being prepared. “I truly believe that the basics are the most important part of nail art. And, of course, you can’t forget to put in love,” she said. And talking about her daily routine she added: “I listen to classical music every morning because my mom did the same when I was child. I especially like the piano and horns, and I even took piano and horn lessons.”

Take a look at some of her more elaborate designs in the gallery below.

According to Washick, she started painting her nails in 2007 after a tough break-up, and shared her nail art through her tongue-in-cheek blog titled “You Don’t Need A Man, You Need A Manicure.”

With love for anything fashion, the nail artist went on to study fashion design in Parsons, which ultimately lead to her current job. “I’ve always been interested in fashion because growing up it was a world unknown to me,” she shared with HYPEBAE. “I wanted to understand why things worked or didn’t, and what warranted a good or bad review. My curiosity lead me to study it seriously and I ended up going to Parsons for fashion design.”

“Prior to Nike, I gravitated towards women’s accessories, and designed them at Coach and Marc Jacobs,” she added. “But I view nails as a built-in accessory so it’s all a part of the fashion world in my eyes. Whether modest or complex, nails are very much a part of the look.”

And talking about the process of designing both nails and sneakers Washick said that “with both nails and sneakers, you’re pushing boundaries within a confined, classic space that’s personal to a lot of people. They’re both blank canvases but you can’t do just anything. It has to be functional to some extent. It’s also a delicate balance of standing out but being relatively easy to wear. And I also love that people feel so passionately about both. They’re both unifying in that way.”

Poole’s work has also caught the attention of other brands, with her nail art being featured in publications like Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, InStyle, Interview, and Dazed & Confused among many others. She also creates tutorials that can be viewed on Vogue.com, TeenVogue.com, Refinery29, The Coveteur, and IntoTheGloss.

Her creations, full of graphic patterns and eye-popping colors, remind of abstract works of art. Except, of course, these creations aren’t meant to last. Immortalized only in photos, her nail art has amassed quite a following, with more than 130 thousand fans following her work on Instagram.

Featured on publications like Vogue and Refinery29, her clientele includes models at Seoul Fashion Week, K-Pop artists, and high-profile social media influencers. So, naturally, her Unistella nail salon in Cheongdam is fully booked.

“I would say my work of nails gives power to [the models]” she explained in an interview with MISSBISH. “It is important to make [the designs] perfect, but I also try to enjoy being in the moment.”

“I’m still really happy that this is my job. If I didn’t have the opportunity to create nail art, it would be tragic,” she added. With more than 300 thousand fans on Instagram and counting, there’s little to no chance of that! Take a look at some of her more creative designs.
