Embrace Elegance.

Luxury in every detail. Acrylics, gel enhancements and gel polish by Tee McCleod.

Meet the Founder

Hey, I'm Tee.

The Acrylic Cartel is more than a name, it is a standard. I am Tempress McCleod, but you can call me Tee. I create bold, flawless sets that speak before you do, from clean gel polish and gel enhancements to sculpted acrylics and custom nail art.

Sleek and simple or loud and lavish, every set is tailored to your style, with luxury in every detail. Birthday nails, a fresh set to match the fit, or a confidence boost, I have you covered.

Nails are my business. Be bold, be flawless, be you. Book your spot and let your nails do the talking.
