Marsai Martin is making moves. At only 17 years old, the actress has founded a production company, Genius Productions, became Hollywood’s youngest producer after starring and producing Little, and more recently, she launched a luxury press-on nail company called Mari by Marsai.


The two-time SAG Award winner made the announcement on Instagram in January and the line dropped February 2. So, what prompted the black-ish star to go into the luxury press-on nails business? According to her Instagram, “everybody and they momma was doing makeup so I wanted to do something different."

Marsai’s press-on nail packs range from $20-$22 and she also provided a tutorial on how to properly apply the nails. But while the actress is now getting to the press-on nails bag, she isn’t the only one. There are many Black-owned press-on nails companies to choose from.
