FAQ: Coquette Nails

What are blush nails?

Blush nails look really tasteful. Originating in Korea, the trend’s purest version involves applying a sheer, light pink base coat on nails first. Then, using a sponge or nail brush, a darker shade of pink is applied in a circular pattern to the nail’s core and diluted. A glossy top coat serves as a finishing element.

What are clean girl nails?

It’s a tribute to female beauty that highlights a put together, natural look. This results to ultra-feminine yet a bit understated nail art that features neutral colors, delicate textures and an emphasis on the natural nails shape.
