Portrait of Lyssa
About
One person, making the things she loves
I'm Lyssa, and The Nail Nerd is mine end to end β 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 β so what you get feels like yours, because it was made for you and no one else.
