Meet The Artist

RYOKO GARCIA

Background: Born and raised in Tokyo Japan. 

I moved to the United States in 2008.

I have an interest in art, fashion, and music. I’m always on the cutting edge. Looking for the next challenge. Always striving to learn new techniques and ideas.

I’ve been a nail artist for 20 years. My favorite techniques are hand painting and sculpting.

I have a complete trust in Japanese products. I’m very picky about what I use. I want my work to be the best so I use the best. I competed in international nail competitions in hand-painted nail art using specific brushes. I’m always asked, “What brushes do you use?” My answer was that I always buy them from Japan…

I decided to launch my brushes so that I can share them with other amazing nail artists. I want you to experience the quality of the brush to create your masterpiece!
