ABOUT US

About Cielle Hi! I’m Cielle—founder of Hotchip Nail and a Brooklyn-based nail artist specializing in structured gel and Gel-X extensions. With a background rooted in art, fashion, and studio management, I approach nails as both a craft and a creative outlet. My style is clean, expressive, and detail-oriented—designed to make you feel a little more like you. About Hotchip Nail Hotchip Nail started as a home studio project and has grown into a brand that blends technical skill with personal connection. Whether I’m working with private clients or backstage at NYFW, my goal is always the same: to create beautiful, thoughtful nails that last—and to offer a calm, inspiring space to receive them. I’ve worked with brands like Phillip Lim, Kim Shui, TWP Clothing, and have had the honor of assisting Coca Michelle on Tyla for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, and Victoria Monét for the CFDA Awards. Hotchip Nail is about more than just polish—it’s about care, creativity, and making a little room for softness in the chaos.
