How Get Kintsugi Nails At Home
To get the manicure at a salon, you can ask for "marble nails with chrome lines and ask the artist to fuse the two designs together," says Simone Francese, nail educator at Vanity Projects in New York City. Both Kinstugi and cracked marble have similar effects, making the look comparable. However, if you would like to get the look at home, Inzerillo has some tips.
One of first components to achieving Kinstugi nails is to start with a solid base colour (you can recreate the matte clay-like effect with a matte top coat afterward). Inzerillo recommends shades like greens and whites, as well as a classic black like Lights Lacquer in Jefa (£7), OPI Nail Lacquer in Alpine Snow (£11), and UN/DN Lacquer in Depressionist (£14).
