Titilayo Bankole - Nail Stylist Known as the "cure" in manicure, nail stylist Titilayo Bankole is famous for sculpting and creating flawlessly healthy nails that tell a story. A native Washingtonian and first-generation American, Titilayo's interest in nail styling was sparked when she got her nails done in "Pink & White Acrylics" while pursuing a career in computer science. Always the innovator, Titilayo decided to engage her creativity and subsequently developed and perfected the "critique each finger"™ technique which allows her to sculpt and create picture perfect nails. From her first job as a manicurist in her mother's beauty salon, Titilayo became known for her unique glitter and lace on enhancements, edgy stilettos, and timelessly classic natural manicures. Her flawless, visually fashion forward looks have earned her a reputation for being a one-of-a-kind nail stylist with an iconic polish palette that enables her to conceptualize, create and sculpt nails that tell a story. Titilayo has styled the nails of various celebrities and worked with a coveted team of nail stylist's on the Donna Karan, Badgley Mischka, Richie Rich, Adam, Lela Rose and Nordic show's during New York's 2010 Spring Fashion Week. Whether styling clients in the privacy of their homes or in her studio, as a freelance nail artist, Titilayo treats each client's hand as a delicate easel, and their nails as fragile canvases upon which she is allowed the privilege of creating storytelling images.
