Nail Art Trend in Seoul, South Korea: Lipstick Shape

One of the biggest trends to come from Seoul is a totally new form of nail art — and it's all about the shape. Seoul-based nail artist Park Eunkyung dubbed the trend "lipstick-shaped nails," and the slightly slanted tips are typically filed onto the tips of extra long nails.

Park recently told POPSUGAR that she found her inspiration for the shape at a photo shoot: "As I was working at a photo shoot for a cat's eye-shaped sunglasses, I thought it would be interesting to shape my nails into that shape and gave it a try," she said. "It turned out like a lipstick shape, so I did it on my nails immediately."
