Cecilia Alvarez Luxury Nail Artist Book

The artist

The ones who choose Cecilia

Artists, actresses, models and public figures from Argentina, Latin America and the United States. Every setting asks something different of a manicure: a stage does not demand the same thing as a film close-up or a fashion shoot. They are grouped by that.

Nails that survive a tour

Live music is the harshest setting a manicure can face: microphone, choreography, costume changes and a schedule with no gap for a repair. I build these sets for strength before effect, with structures that hold through weeks of back-to-back shows and a design that reads from the back row and in extreme close-up alike.

Nails for the close-up

Film and television cameras are unforgiving: an uneven edge or a badly handled shine shows on a big screen. For acting work I put the flawless close-range finish first, a length that does not compete with the character, and a color that behaves the same under set lighting as it does in daylight.

Nails for editorial and runway

In fashion the nail is part of the styling and changes with every production. That calls for being able to redesign length and shape to whatever the shoot asks for, without punishing the natural nail between one job and the next. I use extensions that allow that flexibility and a careful removal that keeps the base healthy.

Nails for daily broadcast

Presenting or reporting daily means many hours a week on camera, almost always with your hands in shot. The criterion here is continuity: a restrained finish that does not pull focus from the story, that stands up to the studio routine and stays neat between visits.

Nails that hold up in rehearsal

Dance and circus work put hands through constant weight-bearing, gripping and contact. A set that works on a red carpet breaks in the first hour of rehearsal. I work these cases with restrained length, reinforced edges and a structure built for physical effort, without giving up the design.

Nails for an international pageant

A pageant concentrates weeks of exposure into a handful of closely staged appearances, with strict wardrobe and photography protocols. The work is designed as part of the complete look: a design that supports it without stealing the shot, and a finish that holds through long days of press and runway.
