I’m a luxury nail artist & charged £750 for my most difficult set…it was only four nails too, but the price was fair
A LUXURY nail artist has revealed the trickiest set of nails she’s ever done – and they cost a whopping £750.
Maddox, who posts under the handle @ballpit_nails, took to TikTok and shared a video where she explains: “I’m a luxury nail artist – this is the most difficult set of nails I’ve ever done.”
She then goes on to share a snap of the intricately detailed portraits she designed featuring the fictional characters from hit film, Avatar.
“The nails cost £750 ($900) – it was an Avatar theme set,” Maddox explains.
“I thought OK this should be kind of easy, they’re just blue.
“Because I paint portraits of humans, I figured it couldn’t be any harder than that.
“When I tell you I had six mental breakdowns painting these…”
In the clip, which has since racked up a whopping 718,000 views, Maddox goes on to ask her social media followers to take a wild guess at how long just four of the nails took her to complete.
“Definitely 48hrs or more,” guessed one.

A second commented: “Amazing! 7 hours?”
Maddox replied: “It was 20 hours!! 9ish hours per portrait.
“Typically a portrait takes me 5 hours so this was almost double.”
Elsewhere, others were full of praise for Maddox’s insane talent.
“£750 ($900) is definitely a lot but when you put in the time and effort materials and labour cost it all adds up and those nails are amazing,” one person wrote.
A second enthused: “THAT’S AMAZING! You’re insanely talented wow!”
A third commented: “Seriously those nails are art….I wouldn’t be able to wear them they’d be on display.”
Meanwhile, a fourth joked: “I can’t even make a pretty heart!”
Another noted: “You are BEYOND talented.”
A further added: “Those are amazing.”
And one more quipped: “So talented and they’re gorgeous…my last car only cost 400!”
