This publication is also available in: Français Deutsch Italiano Español English (US)

She illustrates in the world of Nail Art. Cam Tran, a French manicurist, has managed to make a name for herself among the biggest luxury brands. Portrait of an artist with an eclectic universe. 

Getting beautiful down to the fingertips has never resonated as much as it has for Cam Tran. Spotted in a nail salon in Paris, this young artist has made a name for herself in a few years among the most beautiful brands in the fashion sphere. Her technique and style have earned her the opportunity to enhance the hands of the trendiest models like Abény, Emily Ratajkowski for Le Monde, or even Kendall Jenner for Jacquemus.

Cam Tran: a manicurist like no other

Creative by nature, Cam has never stopped expressing her artistic fiber. As a child, she expressed herself on paper. Painting, drawing, her hands were used to sculpt the contours of her imagination. But quickly, nails became her favorite playground. This passion for nail beauty was inspired by her mother, who took care to have a new manicure done every week.

So, it was natural for her to decide to professionalize herself and make her pastime a full-fledged profession. And it only took one encounter for the talented artist to break into the very closed world of haute couture.

Today, she exercises her art on luxury brand and trendy magazine photoshoot sets. 

As a technician, she takes care to prepare all her creations by hand for a meticulous result. But her performance is also creative. She plays with lengths, materials, reliefs, and textures for a unique and often spectacular result, as evidenced by her work Snake Ring that you can find on her Instagram.

Nails as a terrain for expression

For Cam, Nail Art is a way to express who we are. Just like jewelry or a fashion accessory, nails are an extension for her to assert a style, or even claim an identity. 

And when it comes to nail art, there’s plenty to have fun with. Nails have become, in just a few years, a fantastic playground for those who love to have beautiful claws. Techniques are developing, and trends are succeeding each other, like checkerboard nails or nails encrusted with stones.

But as far as Cam is concerned, she says she doesn’t have a particular style. Guided by her creativity and far from the classicism of traditional manicures, she dabbles in a bit of everything. Among her most beautiful gems, we note her design with embedded fake piercings or a sculpture on metallic chrome nails.

One thing is for sure, the talent of the French nail artist promises us even more beautiful representations.
