Meet the Artist Behind the Claws

Jolandi is a published special-effects nail artist and the founder of Onyx Nails Design, known for her cinematic, character-driven claw creations.

​

Her work moves beyond traditional nail artistry — exploring structure, dimension, and storytelling to create claws that function as true costume elements.

​

Working with clients across fashion, performance, editorial, and character design, Jolandi has refined a method that transforms advanced nail structure into immersive visual impact.

​

Through her training programs, she now mentors artists globally — teaching them how to elevate their craft, command attention, and build a distinctive presence in the world of creature and fantasy nail design.​​
