Nail artist reflecting favorite characters on nails.

Hi, I’m Kumacchi, an anime-inspired nail artist.I create hand-painted Itanail (anime/manga-themed nails). Each nail is a small canvas😆 I paint characters, emotions, and stories on them.I’ll post my past works and new projects here! Thank you for visiting.

I’ve been slacking off on painting anime character nail art lately, so I finally did one again to get some practice in.

Before & after.

It’s a little embarrassing to admit this as a nail lover,but I’ve been feeling down for a while and stopped taking care of my nails.

I finally did them again today, and it actually lifted my mood. It reminded me how much doing my nails is something I do for myself.

Happy birthday, Deidara! He’s one of my favorites in the Akatsuki. I love how expressive he is and how much he truly loves his own art.

Grimmjow nail design.

The background art is inspired by the landscape of Hueco Mundo. Also, this isn’t my hand, it’s a practice hand that I attached the nail tips to.

I painted Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune. Sailor Venus used to be my favorite… until these two appeared ☺️

I did Mineta nails from My Hero Academia! I started reading the My Hero Academia manga, and at first I thought Tomura Shigaraki was my favorite. But now Minoru Mineta is my number one! I can’t help it, he’s just too cute.

“I always taught you… to see the loss of a comrade as an opportunity. Don’t get in the middle. Just stab the enemy in the back. If you’re too incompetent to do even that…then let your comrade die right then and there. That’s the way of the secret remote squad.”

I love these lines from Soi Fon. The pride and weight of responsibility she bears as the captain of the Second Division are so clear, even on her slender shoulders. They make it clear to me why she stands as one of the captains🐝💛

This was the first Orochimaru nail I painted when I first started making ita-nails (anime and manga-inspired nail art). I still really love this nail, and seeing it again makes me want to challenge myself by painting the same design once more.

NARUTO just dropped in the Fortnite shop and I got way too excited. I had Lord Orochimaru do my favorite emote. This is probably how he looked when he knew Sasuke was coming to him 😂

Happy birthday, Gaara! I made a new set of nail tips again this year.

They’re all the same size, so they can’t actually be worn though😂

This year, Rock Lee is here too. I love every story Gaara appears in, but Gaara vs. Lee in the Chunin Exams is my absolute favorite.

I’m working on a new nail set for Gaara’s birthday, but time isn’t on my side this year. So I’m sharing a birthday set I made before.

I’ve been wanting to make ONE PIECE nail tips again after a long time. Not a full set for wearing, just nail tips purely for fun and for drawing characters I love.

This is the last ONE PIECE nail set I made, back in November 2024.

I actually really love ONE PIECE, but I’ve only watched and read up to the Punk Hazard arc. I’m years behind at this point 🤭

[kumacchi-manganails]

I wanted my last nails of the year to be Demon Slayer, but I ran out of time and ended up switching to Ted.

I’m still figuring out how Tumblr works, so if I’ve done anything awkward, I’m sorry.

Thanks so much for looking at my nails and for all the reblogs and likes.

Wishing everyone a great 2026 ✨

I couldn’t make nail tips for his birthday this year, so I pulled out all the Äs Nödt pieces I’ve made in the past. I just couldn’t not celebrate him. He’s my second favorite character in BLEACH, after all.

Happy Birthday, Äs Nödt 🖤
