Why you should care

Didn’t catch the total solar eclipse? No problem: just paint it on.

If you weren’t in the US when the recent total solar eclipse took place, then you would’ve missed out on a majestic sight.

Get in on the conversation anyway, and wear articulations of the beautiful phenomenon on your very own nail canvases!

Minimalistic nails are on trend. Pay tribute to the fuss-free look and to mother nature with this simple, yet impactful art.

Nail art is as much about expression as it is about aesthetics. The symbolism of the sun’s light peeking through the moon is beautiful.

Grab a thin brush and DIY this one.

More excuses for glitter.
