LIGHT ELEGANCE THE ARTIST COLLECTION NAIL ART STEP-BY-STEPS BY HOPE JUNG
11th Feb 2022
It’s amazing how Spring 2022’s modern trends resemble a Monet masterpiece in many ways, and Light Elegance found themselves researching historical artists for much of their inspiration for 'The Artist Collection'. Their goal was to allow nail professionals to create their own masterpieces and provide complementary shades to make art fast and easy in the salon.
That's why our Light Elegance ambassador, @hopejungnails has been hard at work creating her own pieces of art to inspire you for the new season. Check out how Hope started with a blank canvas and created a stunning showpiece. We'd love to see how you re-create these looks.
