About

One person, making the things she loves

I'm Lyssa, and The Nail Nerd is mine end to end – I design, paint and make every set and print myself, from my studio in the UK. It grew out of wanting wearable bits of the worlds I'm obsessed with: the games I replay, the shows I quote too often, the communities that made me feel seen.

I work slowly and on purpose. Each commission is a conversation, not a checkout – so what you get feels like yours, because it was made for you and no one else.

Commission something

Commissions are open. Use the form to start a custom nail set or print – tell me the idea and I'll take it from there.
