Artist Spotlight: Marbles Valdez
Gel and 3D nail art from the NYC artist behind @ibedoingnails.
Marbles Valdez is a New York City nail artist specializing in gel and 3D nail art, and one of the artists profiled in ACRYLICS the Book.
Working under the handle @ibedoingnails, Marbles builds sets with real dimension, sculpting forms that rise off the nail rather than sitting flat on it. It is the kind of work that made ACRYLICS: Hidden Sculptural Art at A.I.R. Gallery feel like a sculpture show.
Her sets are a reminder that 3D nail art is a discipline of its own, with techniques that take years to master.
