The gal: Naomi Yasuda
The gig: Nail artist to the A-list

Prep School: “I got my foundation and basics at beauty school in Japan, but nail art and design is self-taught. The funny thing is, I'm so focused on my own work that I actually don't know too much of what others are doing.”

Pretty Perks: “I love that I can collaborate with my clients on creativity. It's one thing for me to put forth my art, but it's even more special when I can understand and execute other people's creativity as well.”

Secret to Success: “Practice makes perfect. Put in work and get your stuff out there. Do it for the love and passion of your art, and nothing else.”
