Secret's Shy Boy Nails


Secret is a four-member Korean girl group.
Their latest single is "Shy Boy" and in the mv the girls are wearing 50's inspired clothes.
These are a few nail art inspired by Secret's Shy Boy music video.
Katrina also made a wonderful Secret inspired nail art.

The first nail art is inspired by the girls clothes.
I tried different designs before this one but they were too complicated.
I think this one reflects well the simple clothes and the cheerful theme of the music video.
(on the ring finger I used a bright pink polish but in the pictures it turned out almost red!)

I applied a white base and then added a "ruffian" mani with four different cremes.
As a finishing touch I added two small dots to make the buttons.

This nail art is inspired by the nails Hyoseong in wearing in the video.
It was hard to capture Hyoseong's nails so I made what it seems the most similar nail art to me.
I applied a sheer base with gold shimmer and then I used three different gold polish to create a gradient. I really love the result and this is my favorite mani between all of these.

Jieun's nails are very simple.
She is wearing a very light blue and pink mani.
I didn't have a perfect dupe for her nail polish colors so I used a bit more brighter ones, but I totally prefer her soft version so I suggest you to use very soft shades if you have them.

I applied the light blue base and then made the stripes with the pink polish.


♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥


Sunhwa's nails are definitely the most easier ones.
She have three different colors on her nail: two shades of pink and a lilac color.
Super easy to replicate!

Zinger have really stylish nails in the music video.
Her nails are half painted with a purple polish that seems to have a foil finish.
I made a really similar nail art previously so I didn't made another one.

Turoail #039: Holly French


First Christmas nail art of the year.

*sorry for the bad lighting*


How to:
  1. Apply your base coat.
  2. Apply a sheer polish with a gold shimmer. If you don't have something similar you can use a nude/beige polish. AVOID pink.
  3. With a red polish paint your tip.
  4. With a gold polish and a thin brush draw a line below the red tip.
  5. I think it's already pretty like this so if you like simple manicure you can stop here.
  6. With a dark green acrilic paint draw the leaves of the holly. If you don't have acrilic paint you can use green nail polish.
  7. Put a drop of top coat between the leaves and apply two or three red sequins to make the berries of the holly. If you don't have sequins you can use red rhinestones or a dot of red polish.
  8. This is optional but you can add some green glitter on the leaves. Apply your top caot and you're done!
