My favorite nail trend to date!

I feel like a hyprocrite as in my previous blog post on nails art, I said I was an Ombre french girl for life! However — after 3 years of Ombre, I have done a complete 180 and switched to Douyin nails. You can imagine the surprised looks from everyone at my nail salon!

Douyin, China’s version of TikTok, has become a popularized hub for beauty trends, and nail art is no exception. Douyin nails, characterized by their intricate designs, bold colors, and innovative techniques, have captivated millions of users worldwide. From delicate floral patterns to futuristic holographic effects, Douyin nails offer a diverse range of styles to suit every taste.

One of the defining features of Douyin nails is their emphasis on precision and detail. Nail artists often incorporate intricate elements such as rhinestones, glitter, charms, and even tiny pieces of jewelry into their designs. The use of advanced nail art techniques, such as 3D sculpting and airbrushing, allows for the creation of truly stunning and unique looks.

Douyin nails have not only influenced the beauty industry in China but have also had a significant impact on global nail art trends. Many of the designs and techniques popularized on Douyin have been adopted by nail salons and individuals around the world. As Douyin continues to grow, it is likely that we will see even more innovative and inspiring nail art trends emerge from this platform.

Here are some photos and videos of my previous Douyin designs (in typical Nicole pink color-scheme)!
