About BernadetteA driving force in the fashion and beauty scene,
Bernadette Thompson has created trend-setting
nail art for the world’s premier fashion houses
and has been featured in virtually every fashion
magazine in circulation. From Hip-Hop to Haute
Couture, her client list reads like a Who’s-Who
of Hollywood and the music industry alike, and
Thompson’s slick but timeless nail designs have
been celebrated and revered by such luminary
personalities as Beyoncé Knowles, Madonna,
Gwen Stefani, Gisele Bündchen, Charlize Theron,
Uma Thurman, Kate Beckinsale, Iman, Sting, Puff
Daddy, Robert Downey Jr. and Sara Jessica Parker
to name but a few.
Easily moving from on-location film and video
work to fashion print and editorial shoots,
Thompson’s runway and advertising client list
includes the most prestigious fashion designers
in the world—Marc Jacobs, Hermés, Gucci,
Valentino, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace,
Escada, Hugo Boss, Donna Karan and Calvin
Klein among countless others. Perhaps even more
telling of the respect Bernadette Thompson has
garnered within the beauty industries are the
many cosmetic companies who have contracted
her to consult on and create original designs by
which to introduce their own products into the
market place. From Revlon and Clinique to Estée
Lauder and M.A.C. Cosmetics—Thompson’s
cuttingedge color sense and camera-ready
technical execution have made her a sought
after consultant to some of the most powerful
cosmetics conglomerates around the globe.
Beyond the world of high fashion, Thompson
has also enjoyed a wide range of commercial
clients, participating in advertising and concept
development for products and companies such as
Vaseline as well as acting as a consultant for start-
up projects within established fashion houses
contemplating a cosmetics licensing venture.
With such a stellar resumé, it’s refreshing to learn
that what Bernadette Thompson loves most is
working with people: as she once put it, “Rock
star or girl-next-door, for me, it’s all about the
individual…introducing them to a look or concept
that may be new, but that’s still somehow all
about them and doesn’t look ‘put on’ or forced…”
Explaining further, Thompson points out, “I’ve
worked with many of the world’s most celebrated
models, actresses and musical personalities—
some of who were at first wary of an unusual
design or color I proposed. But then, upon seeing
the finished look, they end up inquiring about
how to extend the longevity of the design and
color… I just love that!” she beams.
With a strong following in the Hip-Hop and
R&B community, Bernadette has been the go-to
nail artist of choice for such musical celebrities
as Alicia Keys, Puff Daddy, Missy Elliott, Jay-Z,
Aaliyah, Lauryn Hill, Luther Vandross, Christina
Aguilera, Lil’ Kim and Mary J. Blige—with whom
Thompson traveled on tour during Blige’s mega-
hit world tour.
With the introduction of the new Bernadette
Thompson Nail Care and Color line, Bernie makes
her latest and most impacting contribution to
the world of fashion and beauty. Sleek and sexy,
but practical, the B.T. line of products comprises
a top coat, base coat, hand emollient, cuticle oil,
polish remover and restorative nail treatments,
all styled around a seasonal presentation of slick,
sophisticated, fun colors that literally put the
latest fashion trends at her client’s finger tips.
“As a result of my runway and editorial work, I
have the privilege of being actively involved in
the creation and interpretation of fashion trends
before they hit the streets,” Thompson says with
a smile. “So I guess you might say that when it
comes to knowing what colors are going to rock
the house every season—I’ve got it nailed!…”

WIPE OUT 2Try Our
Award Winning Nail Polish Remover
KISS OFAPPROVALBEAUTY AWARD
I have never used a nail polish remover which moisturizes and conditions my nails and cuticles SO well, and still manages to get every last trace of polish off in an instant! Wipe Out is a unique deep orange shade and has no horrible harsh smell… I was very impressed that it didn't dry out my nails and skin like many nail removers I've used in the past... it left made my cuticles soft and smooth and my nail beds were glossy and hydrated.
