MINIMALIST SUMMER ~

Here's a nail art that represents my summer lol. No trips for me during this summer but other great things obviously (new life changing step, music festival, concerts!!!) but no playa. So I did a playa on my nails. I don't really like this nail art lol. The design I was inspired by had a car on the ring fingernail but I failed to draw it, maybe that's because I don't my driver's license. It just wasn't meant to be lol. 

This nail art is inspired by Safinailstudio on Instagram.

BLACKPINK IN YOUR AREA ~

Today it's the d-day!! The start of the BLACKPINK's weekend!! The girls mark their stop in Paris for 2 nights and I'm going to both. Obviously, I had to do a nail art dedicated to the group. I'm pretty happy with the result especially of the lightstick on my pointer fingernail. It was kinda challenging for me, I was afraid to fail but fortunately I came across Notyouraveragenails "Kpop ligtstick Nails" tutorial on Youtube and it was really helpful. 

I'm really happy with this mani, comparing to the one I did 2 years ago for the Born Pink Tour, I feel like this time the mani is more linked to the group. I really wanted to do a BLACKPINK nail art and not a black and pink nail art lol.

Last Sunday, I went to the N3 of the Paris Cowboy Carter Tour shows. Yeah I saw Jay Z came up on stage to perform Crazy In Love and N***** In Paris. I saw it with my own two eyes!

Anyway, what can I say about this night ? Just incredible. This is my second time going to a Beyoncé's concert and definitely not my last time. I have to see the Act III. It was just crazy, the time just flied by so fast and the show lasted nearly 3h. 

So obviously for a concert THAT big, for THE Beyoncé I had to come PREPARED. It means manicure, outfit, everything! For the manicure, I went for an American/cowboy themed nail art. That nail art is straight MAGA lol. It's for the theme ok! I'm pretty happy with the result.

KEEP YOUR HAIR DONE, NAILS DONE, LIKE JENNIE ~

Last Friday, I had the chance to go to the Jennie's Ruby Experience in Paris. I love BLACKPINK down so I had to be there for the first solo tour of one of the members in Paris. Let me tell you I wasn't disappointed. Jennie is probably the Kpop idol with the most charisma. She's just a stage beast. 

For this special occasion, I had to do a special mani especially because she talks about nails in "Like Jennie" which an absolute bop. 

I'm not that fond of this nail art. I struggled to find inspo because the album is quite new. My nails were on theme for the concert and that's the most important.

I love the aesthetic of the Short'n'Sweet album, I had to do a nail art. I'm happy with the result even if the process wasn't a walk in the park lol. I feel like lately my designs are not a walk in the park, I just do and redo them sometimes lol.
