If you're a frequent visitor to the nail salon, faithfully showing up every two weeks, you're probably eager for fresh and exciting inspirations for your next visit. Whether you lean towards unique trends like galaxy nails or popular favorites such as the trendy "blueberry milk" manicure, the excitement of a newly done manicure is undeniable—it's like a burst of dopamine each time you gaze at your hands.
Manicurist Jin Soon Choi explains that Douyin nails are typically most flattering on long or medium-length nails in stiletto, almond, or coffin shapes. While longer nails provide more space for artistic designs, Choi notes that the trend can also work effectively on shorter nails, particularly those with a round shape.
Choi emphasizes that "Douyin nails represent a youthful and playful style, perfect for expressing your creativity. With no strict guidelines to follow, feel free to unleash your imagination and enjoy the process."
For nails inspired by Douyin, whether done professionally or as a DIY project, begin by bringing inspiration photos and discussing your preferences with your nail technician. Joseph suggests choosing a milky, neutral base. For a delicate look, try a soft pink airbrush design to create a blush effect. Another option is a neutral base embellished with rhinestones. To make it more personalized, you can even mix both styles for a distinctive final look.
To achieve a similar look at home, Joseph suggests beginning with a translucent base, such as the Bio Seaweed Gel in the color 273 Milkshake. Next, you can incorporate some Daily Charme Nail Crystals by attaching them with nail glue or securing them with a builder gel.
If you prefer a simpler choice, there are numerous press-on nail options that require just a small amount of nail glue for application.
