Nail Chronicles: History, Trends, and Pe...

BROOKE DEVARD
About this episode

In this episode of The Naked Beauty Podcast, we explore the world of nails and nail art, tracing its evolution from a trend seen primarily in the black community during the 90s to a global phenomenon today. I spoke with Tembe Denton Hurst, author of 'Fresh Sets,' a coffee table book showcasing nail art from around the world. We discuss the history of nail salons, the impact of Vietnamese immigrants on the industry, and the gendered aspects of nail art. You'll also hear from UK nail artist Sylvie McMillan about her artistry, and members of the Naked Beauty community about their personal experiences with nail art and their favorite nail artists.
