Meet Your Instructor
I’m Jolandi, the creator behind Onyx Nails Design, a brand internationally recognized for its unique, high-quality special effects and custom press-on nails.
My work has been featured by artists, photographers, costume designers, makeup artists, drag queens, and product designers, and featured in films, music videos, stage productions, and high-profile photoshoots.
When I started creating SFX nails over six years ago, there was nowhere to learn the techniques I needed. Special effects nails were an unexplored niche, so I had to teach myself through trial and error—spending countless hours experimenting, problem-solving, and perfecting my methods. Looking back, I wish I had access to courses like this to guide me, save me time, and speed up the creative process.
From everyday chic to dramatic cosplay and film-worthy SFX designs, my creations have been transformed into movie props, drag showpieces, and unique cosplay enhancements.
Through my courses, I’m sharing the skills and techniques that took me years to refine—so you can create your own show-stopping nails without the years of trial and error I went through.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced nail artist, you’ll leave with the knowledge to design nails that stand out anywhere.
Please join me on this wild and crazy creative ride!
