Did you know you can do your nails with the blusher you use for your face? Blush nail, known as “cheek nail” (치크네일) in Korean, shows off a simple but cute design of a diffused spot in the centre of each nail, that perfectly mimics blushed cheeks. It can be created using your actual blusher or even eye shadow, and of course, nail polish. Often accompanied by pastel coloured french tips, such as sky blue, it gives off a more elevated look. It’s a simple design but gives such a cute and delicate look. This is definitely my next go-to nail design as we’re going into spring!
