nail artist

Fingertip decoration professional

A nail artist is a person who creates decorative designs on fingernails and toenails, going beyond basic manicure services to produce elaborate artwork.

The term emphasizes the creative and aesthetic aspects of the work: She's a nail artist who specializes in intricate hand-painted designs.

Also called nail technician, though that term covers routine nail care without artistic connotation.
