Michelle Humphrey is a London-based session and celebrity manicurist with an approach rooted in fine art and experimentation. She began exploring nail art while pursuing an art education, eventually turning that interest into her profession. Her work moves between restrained polish and elaborate embellishment. Adele’s signature almond nails and Dua Lipa’s crystal-covered designs reflect that range: each look responds to the person wearing it, rather than a fixed house style. Michelle draws ideas from fashion, products and visual references, exploring new materials and techniques to give them her own interpretation. Her collaborations with Dua span cover shoots, music videos and live performances, where nails become part of the artist’s wider visual identity. The same attention carries through to her editorial, runway and campaign work.
