I'm a multi-passionate creative artist based in Dublin and the founder of The Cox Studio, a brand that brings together my background in beauty, design and artistry through luxury reusable gel nails and professional makeup services.
I've always been drawn to creativity: makeup, nails, photography, design, drawing and everything crafty. What began as a passion for art and aesthetics became a career built around turning small details into powerful statements.
Welcome to The Cox Studio Nails, Ireland's first virtual nail salon, redefining luxury nail care from the comfort of your home.
Established in 2020 and officially launched in 2022, The Cox Studio Nails was born because for a long time the traditional nail salon just wasn't a place where I felt I belonged.
As someone who is neurodivergent I couldn't bear the sensory side of it: the strong smells, the feeling of someone touching my hands for hours, and the constant cost of having to go back every few weeks. I knew there were so many others who felt the same and wanted salon quality nails without the stress or the massive time and money commitment.
The Cox Studio Nails brings professional quality to you on your own terms. This is for the people who can't wear nails every day because of their work, their religion, or just their lifestyle, and for those who simply want the freedom to choose when they have a flawless manicure. Unlike the mass produced press ons you find in shops and online, that are flimsy, break instantly, and feel like cheap plastic, I wanted to create a brand where you get the best of both worlds.
Every set is a custom creation expertly hand-painted by me using professional grade materials to ensure they have the same strength and perfect finish you'd get in a high end salon. Because everything I do is 100% customizable and completely reusable, you get a bespoke manicure you can apply and remove whenever you want. You're getting a piece of art that respects your time, your beliefs, and your comfort.
You and I will work together to design your own personalized nail masterpiece from scratch. Thank you all so much for supporting my small business and being part of this journey. Experience the future of nail care with The Cox Studio Nails, where quality meets your freedom.
After studying Graphic Design in Madrid, Spain, I moved to Ireland to improve my English and begin my professional training. I first developed my skills through advanced training with Dublin Bodypaint and Make Up For Ever Academy, where I received a Distinction Diploma.
In 2019, I completed four years of study with a Degree in Fashion, Theatre, Media Makeup and Aesthetics at Portobello Institute in Dublin. This was a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary program where I mastered Hair Design, Nail Artistry, Fashion Styling and Beauty Therapy. This extensive background ensures I bring a complete, technical perspective to every creative project.
A cornerstone of my professional identity is my work as a Wig Master. Specialized in wig making, I design and handmake wigs, facial hair and hairpieces specifically for the demanding environments of TV and Theatre. This craft requires historical accuracy and technical precision, ensuring every piece is a seamless extension of the character.
Through education and client work, I gained extensive experience across makeup, body paint, SFX, wig making and nail art. Since graduating, I've worked as a freelance artist for high-profile clients and creative productions.
