Artful Update: When I first envisioned Overgrown Gardens, it was a quiet celebration of growth. Intimate beauty, editorial nails, a shared creative space. That intention still lives here. But as I’ve moved through the process of building this drop, the world around me has been shifting too. And I’ve been feeling the weight of it, watching people from my own community be detained, displaced, and dismissed.

So this drop is shifting slightly. Not for optics. But because I hold myself to a standard:
If I have a voice, I will use it.

This is the nature of art. It moves. It responds. It becomes what it needs to be. And right now, it needs to say something.

The core of these art drops has always been community, ritual, and presence.
And when we’re told that we can’t have those things,
that we can’t have softness, celebration, safety,
we work harder to create them. We protect them.

This drop is still beauty.
Still floral and textured and tender.
But it’s also rooted in resistance, in making space where we are told there is none.
In blooming even when the world is trying to cut us back.

So if this speaks to something in you,
I hope you join us.
We grow louder, fuller, more intentional together.

Another layer of intention:

This nail art drop will be documented by Brenda Tejeda ( ), a photographer whose work holds stillness with softness, and lets emotion live in the frame. Her eye brings a quiet depth that aligns perfectly with the tone of Overgrown Gardens.

Her lens will trace the details, the sculpted nails, the workshop moments, the people at the center of it all.
Each frame a quiet archive of presence.

Select portraits will also be featured in the limited-edition collectible zine, honoring this first drop and those who help shape it.

This is a story being built with care, and only a few spots remain.

An Intimate Drop, a Public Moment

Like pressed petals on glass 🩵 A soft cascade of hand-painted florals in vibrant blue, each bloom blooming brighter than the last.

If it wasn’t already obvious… I love being draped in pearls.

This Birthday shoot was my version of self-care ✨ not for clients, not for content, just for me.
Even on a chaotic day, I made space to feel beautiful, seen, and creatively fueled.

I spend so much time romanticizing the world for others through nails, through moments, through art.

As an artist and luxury service provider, I believe we create best when we’re cared for, too.
Here’s to honoring the muse within.✨

Golden hour with a hidden galaxy.
This set was inspired by the softness and strength of Padmé🌸 Blooming florals and flowing lines as a quiet nod to Star Wars with May the 4th around the corner.
A little light, a little rebellion, all sealed into one set.✨

For the hands that bring blooms to life.✨
This set was for 💐 someone who fills my world with beauty through flowers, so I wanted to return the favor with something just as thoughtful. A mix of playful gingham, soft petals, and hand-painted detail to match the care she pours into every bouquet.

A haunted spring… where mossy woods meet marble veins. Each nail a glimpse into something quiet, overgrown, and just a little otherworldly.
