Internationally famous Japanese nail artist and Leafgel Art director Sensei Maki Mukai is the master and pioneer of the world-renowned tarashikomi (Japanese watercolor) technique.

​

Whether it's using her highly coveted water color palette or Leafgel Premium potted gels, she continues to constantly reinvent watercolor art. Nail technicians and nail bloggers around the world have created endless variations and replications of Maki arts tashikomi technique. After numerous sold out international seminars Maki Art has finally decided to come to U.S. to share her knowledge of watercolor designs.
