About me

Creator of Quirk Nail Studio a successful business built during the pandemic. A manicurist looking to shine light on nail design as an art form in its own right. With over 8 years experience my work is meticulous and refined with flair. I use knowledge gained from studying fashion design, channelling it into designs and overall experience. I’m looking step out of the usual salon setting and into the world of editorials, campaigns, music videos and more. I want to collaborate and create with individuals from a wide range of disciplines.

  'MICRODOSE' - Graduate Collection by Megan CummingsA Journey into a psychic landscape. Read Only Memory, a film by John Maybury, takes us on an experimental trip into an alternate microcosm. This collection desires to enter this world, translating surreal visuals, moods and feelings with the use of dynamic pattern cutting, digital print and fabric manipulation. Along with influences from 1980s club culture which catalysed the films production. Ultimately the collection is creating a physical portal into Maybury’s mind-bending trip.
