“Lipstick-shaped nails” is the latest beauty trend sweeping Instagram and gaining the attention of many nail design lovers. As you can imagine, the name comes from its unusual shape that looks exactly like a lipstick tube.
The creative mastermind behind this awesome nail design is Park Eunkyung, better known as nail_unistella on Instagram. Eunkyung says she always wanted to have long nails, but they didn’t feel comfortable with her. That’s when the idea for lipstick nails was born.
“As I was working at a photoshoot for cat eye-shaped sunglasses, I thought it would be interesting to shape my nails into that shape and gave it a try. It turned out like a lipstick shape, so I did it on my nails immediately,” Eunkyung told Byrdie.
Even though she thought her new design was pretty and unique, she was afraid to try it on her clients at first. “I think people might feel the same way at first, but I’m sure they’ll realize how comfortable it is once they give it a try,” the nail artist said.
Other nail artists are now taking this awesome design one step further by adding bright and neon colors, transparent extensions and piercings to nails. Check out the photos below for more inspiration.
