Curating the Collection

Ray Blk explains the story behind BLKlisted and her aspiration to make glam instant nails accessible to everyone.

“I created the BLKlisted instant nail collection during lockdown when trying to find a solution to manicures, as at the time I couldn’t safely do my nails outside of home. I then also realised that there was a huge need for the stylised nail art that! love and that really isn’t available to ‘real people‘, just celebrities with stylists and big budgets. Often, High Street nail technicians aren’t able to create these intricate styles, they may not have the time, and the styles can be very costly.“

“My biggest inspirations for the BLKlisted collection are ‘music video glamour’ and Gen-Z fashion. The style and lengths of the nails are deliberately extravagant to make a statement. Nothing about celebrity glamour is subtle! It’s all about the sparkle and grabbing attention. Gen-Z is all about being comfortable in who you are and celebrating you and your personality, embracing your quirkiness! I want everyone who wears BLKlisted to feel empowered and confident. So, instead of plain block colours, I created intricate designs and elaborate patterns, along with fierce lengths.”
