Instagram is home to more amazing nail artists than we can count, and it can be difficult to make a mark, but that didn’t stop Marnie Boswall from trying. She’s the mastermind behind The Naillologist, one of Instagram’s top spots for nail art lovers looking for inspiration.
Boswall has been on quite a journey since buying her first gel kit in 2020 out of sheer boredom, but she found the experience of working on her own nails so therapeutic that she couldn’t stop. Once she started creating several looks in a single week, she decided it was time to collect them in one place, and that’s how The Naillologist was born.
Boswall’s favorite part of doing nails is coming up with amazing new ideas for her next manicure, and her creative process involves several steps. She enjoys figuring out the color/theme for her next design and sketching out a few different ideas before painting her nails.
Her strategy seems to be working, and she’s one of Instagram’s top spots for nail art inspiration, with over 270,000 followers under her bet. Surprisingly enough, she’s not even doing nails for other people, because she’s too focused on coming up with amazing new designs to share with her Instagram followers.
