About Nail Atlas

Nail Atlas translates Japanese nail art into English. Japan sets the pace for nail design — gel techniques, magnetic and aurora finishes, seasonal art, and the products behind them — but most of that knowledge was never written for English readers. We read it in Japanese and publish what matters, in plain English, with a link back to the original source.

What We Cover

• Step-by-step nail art techniques as they're actually taught in Japan
• Product reviews and roundups — gels, bases, top coats, and tools
• Trends and seasonal designs from Japanese nail media and salons
• How to recreate salon looks at home, with the right materials

How We Work

Our process is AI-assisted and editorially reviewed: AI tools read and draft translations from Japanese sources, and product names, prices, and technique details are checked against the original before publishing. The full methodology — source selection, translation standards, attribution — is documented in our editorial policy.
