About Talon & Thorn

Hey there! I'm Arianna, the nail enthusiast behind Talon & Thorn.

My love of nail art started way back when I was a chronic nail biter as a kid. I always admired those with beautiful nails and dreamed of having my own. Fast forward to when I was old enough to start experimenting, and I dove headfirst into the world of nail art. My friends were my first canvas, and they were more than willing to let me get creative with their nails.

Around 8 years ago, I discovered the magic of gel polish, Gel X, Poly Gel, and dip powder. These products became my tools of choice, both for myself and my growing circle of friends who trusted me with their nail transformations.

Then, one day, I stumbled upon the world of luxury press-on nails. It was like a lightbulb went off in my head - what a perfect way to combine my passion for nails with my entrepreneurial spirit! I found the press-on community to be incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, so I took the leap and started Talon & Thorn.

Talon & Thorn isn't just a business to me; it's a labor of love. As a queer-owned venture, I'm dedicated to creating a space that values self-expression and celebrates individuality. I wanted to build a haven where everyone could access high-quality, customized nails without the time constraints or costs of traditional salons. It's been an incredible journey, made possible by the support of this amazing community, as well as my friends and family.

So here we are, offering you the chance to rock stunning, custom-made nails that reflect your unique style. Welcome to Talon & Thorn, where your nail dreams become a reality!
