No one starts a manicure trend quite like the creative Korean nail artists we follow on Instagram. Barely a couple weeks back, we introduced you guys to the beautiful and delicate dry flower nails brought to you by Eun Kyun Park, the nail artist behind your favourite trending talons. This week, however, we’ll be mixing it up a little with tattoo nails.

Another manicurist at Unistella, Hee Eunhee, drew our attention to the cheeky design when she started posting more of these on her Instagram. These tattoo nails are also called “emoji nails”, which is pretty appropriate seeing how tiny, adorable, and expressive they are. And if a playful manicure clashes with your minimalist vibe, you can always opt for simpler designs to keep things classy.

Judging by the attention to detail, it seems as though the talented nail artists have actually hand-painted all of these immaculate designs. Luckily for us, we won’t have to go through numerous failed attempts just to get achieve that level of perfection, because nail stickers exist.✨ All  you have to do is coat your clean nails with a base, then stick them down on your nails before painting over them with a clear top coat to seal it in and add a glossy sheen.
