NYC nail artist Rachael Starr creates custom Gel-X, Builder Gel, and nail art. From New York Fashion Week to private appointments, book today
I’m a licensed New York City–based nail artist with over five years of experience, specializing in Apres Gel-X, Builder Gel, and detailed nail art. I’m certified through the Christine Valley School and Apres, which has helped me build a strong foundation in both technique and creativity.
My work has taken me from freelance nail events and brand activations to community spaces and New York Fashion Week, allowing me to grow into a versatile and detail-driven artist. I also run my own business, where I provide custom nail services for private clients and events, always tailoring each set to fit your lifestyle.
I’m known for my experimental, trend-forward style—mixing textures, 3D elements, and modern design to create nails that feel like wearable art.
