Do you know the best way to get updates on the hottest celebrity manicures waaaay before they make it to print or online media? It’s by following celebrity manicurists on Instagram! You can see what kind of nails Miley Cyrus or Rhianna are getting before their nails even get dry! You’ll see what manicures will be trending on the runways of New York, Milan and Paris before they even know names of the models who’ll be walking the runway.

But it’s not celebrity gossip that makes following these guys so addictive, they provide tons of nail-spiration, nail care advice and you’ll get a sneak peek into the life of a celebrity manicurist. That involves attending quite a few A-list parties, flying across the ocean just to paint Heidi’s nails and playing with the hottest due-to-launch polish shades. Dream job!

1. Who: Tom @TomBachik, US
Why follow: Easily the most handsome MAN-icurist out there Tom is also Global Nail Artist for L’Oreal Paris. Heidi Klum nails? Tick. Jennifer Lopez nails? Tick. Jessica Simpson? Yep.

2. Who: Simcha Whitehill @MissPopNails, US
Why follow: Nail news and manicures from New York fashion week runways and tons of editorials. Remember the black and gold at Alice & Olivia and the spikey half moon nails at Emerson? That’s Simcha’s work!

3. Who: Sophy Robson @SophyNails, UK

6. Who: Naomi Yasuda @NaomiNailsNYC, US
Why follow: Her precision work and unique designs made Naomi one of the top celebrity manicurists in the world. Madonna, Lilly Allen, Amanda Lepore and Kenzo – just to name a few of Naomi’s clients.
