About Us

Our founder, Xing's,  journey began with a quarter-life crisis in NYC, when a near-death experience made her rethink her path. In March 2024, she left her corporate career and returned to China, spontaneously diving into a nail tech course that reconnected her with her creativity. Eight-hour days of nail art revealed her true calling: she had been an artist all along, just waiting to find the right medium. StarX’d Nails was born from this revelation—making nail art both a form of self-expression and a way for those with busy lives to care for themselves. Now, the stars have aligned for you to cross paths with her art.

Design Process: We design our nail sets digitally, carefully crafting each detail before sending them to our manufacturers. After testing samples from various sources, we found a work studio in China that aligns with our values. A representative reviews the designs, approving or denying them based on production feasibility. If approved, skilled technicians—known as ‘aunties’—bring her vision to life by hand painting all press-ons with quality gel polishes.

As someone from China, Xing is passionate about challenging negative stereotypes about Chinese manufacturers. The studio she works with is bright and open, with large windows and natural light. Each technician has a clean, comfortable workspace and earns a fair wage.

When the finished nails arrive at our home base, we handle quality control. We take at least 5 to 10 minutes per set, carefully packaging and inspecting each one. A perfectionist at heart, we files any imperfections and fixes any minor details to ensure every nail is flawless before reaching our customers.
