Whether you’re a DIY girl or you’d rather leave these matters to professionals, they are super easy and achievable.
At the salon:
- Request for “jelly pink,” “rose glaze,” or “K-beauty sheer manicure.”
- Gel polish tends to give a more glassy effect so you could request for it.
- Nail techs might use a “rose bath” layering technique. The technique starts with using a cream, nude base and building with a soft pink layer.
At home:
