Eri Narita
From a young age, she displayed a remarkable talent for drawing, with her work frequently recognized and awarded in art competitions. This early connection to visual expression laid the foundation for her artistic journey. After completing her university studies, she developed a deep curiosity for nail art—a form of miniature, wearable art—and decided to immerse herself in its techniques, beginning her training from scratch in Japan, a country renowned for its innovation and precision in this domain.
Driven by a desire to expand her artistic and professional horizons, she moved to New York, where she gained hands-on experience as an assistant in the fast-paced world of fashion. Working behind the scenes on shoots and shows, she honed her technical skills, learning to deliver high-quality results with both speed and exacting detail. This period was crucial in shaping her understanding of industry standards and the importance of adaptability and creativity under pressure.
Eventually, she settled in Paris, where she synthesized her artistic background and the techniques acquired in Japan and New York into a distinctive and personal approach to nail design. Her work—bold, vibrant, and richly imaginative—stood out in a market that had yet to fully embrace expressive, editorial nail art. Her originality quickly drew attention, leading to collaborations with fashion houses, magazines, and photographers.
Today, she is recognized as a leading figure in her field. Her greatest strength lies in her ability to translate each client’s vision into elegant, technically masterful nail art, blending aesthetic intuition with precise execution. Her creations are not just manicures—they are storytelling surfaces, reflecting mood, style, and character with finesse.
