Art is breaking out of its traditional box, and nail art is leading the charge. This bold blend of fashion, beauty, and fine art is transforming our perceptions of creativity and its place in our world. No longer confined to galleries and museums, art now permeates the fabric of our daily lives, embodying a broader cultural shift.
ARS member Bernadette Thompson exemplifies this artistic revolution. Her innovative nail designs have not only captivated A-list celebrities like Rihanna, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, and Madonna but have also earned her a place in history, becoming the first nail artist to have work included in the Museum of Modern Art‘s collection. Thompson’s success signifies more than a passing trend – it’s a whole new way of thinking about art.
