About me

Hi there!

My name is Saraphena and I'm a college student with a love for making nails. I started Phena's Claws in the summer of 2024 after searching for the perfect set myself, only to find nothing! I decided to begin creating my own nails, expressing my love for fandom and gaming through every handmade set. 

I am the sole person behind Phena's Claws and every set is made by me with love. Thank you for supporting my small business and I hope my products help you feel glam <3

My Mission and Process

With Phena's Claws, my goal is to provide beautiful accessories to everyday life that represent characters or games you are passionate about. As a neurodivergent person, I have personally felt the excitement and joy of developing fixations on my favorite characters, and I seek to provide an outlet for that excitement through nails! My audience is very niche, but I love them all the same, and will work tirelessly to provide every customer a beautiful set that they will love. 

With my designs, I avoid just painting on faces or words/printing pictures and applying them to the nails. While those techniques are beautiful, I prefer to take colors, motifs, and features of each character or atmosphere and incorporate them into a full cohesive design in each set. When you see one of my sets, I want you to be able to tell what it's all about-- without seeing a face picture or words!

I also provide multiple selections of application methods for those who wish to not damage their nails with nail glue, or find long-term wear of nails difficult sensory-wise. Sticky tabs are my go-to adhesion method because I struggle with sensory issues around my hands, and they make it so easy to put on and take off nails for short-term wear! 

I'm excited to learn and grow my business over time, and I thank you so much for supporting me!
