What Does The ‘Blush Nail Trend’ Entail?
The blush nail trend mimics a facial blush, that covers the middle of the nail bed with a cutesy pink hue. It is usually seen with a neutral-toned base with a spot of rosy pink or magenta in the middle – to resemble the look of rosy cheeks. We’re calling it gazed donut nails cooler sister because it gives a glazed vibe to your nails. The trend started in Korea where the glowing makeup look highlighted with blush made its way to our fingertips.
How To Create Korean Blush Nails?
Think of them as a more pared-pack version of the aura nail trend, that is created using an airbrush. Blush nails are like a minimalistic, glazed approach to the aura nail trend. If you’re looking for a way to create them, an airbrush isn’t strictly necessary. They are tons of ways to try them in the comfort of your home and we’re sharing the deets with you. All you need to do is start with a pale pink or nude base, then diffuse a blob of magenta or red on top with a nail brush or a sponge. Finish with a glossy top coat to give your nails a glazed glow. A number of influencers have created blush nails using actual blush. Use the blusher to make a small blob in the middle and then top it off with a shiny transparent top coat. You can also make it your own by mixing and matching it with gems and chains.
