Nail art, month by month.
Every month our artists put together a new set of Korean gel nail art at the studio in downtown Vancouver. This is the archive — the current set and every month before it. See a design you like? Bring it to your appointment.
October 2026 nail art
October is three boards of short Korean gel sample tips. One runs warm, tortoiseshell and brown marble with gold studs and silver stones. One is quiet: black-and-white marble with a pearl, olive with silver dots, drawn flowers. The last is burgundy and pink, with brown stripes and a pale blue check. Then each set in the sun.

September 2026 nail art
September is shot as sample tips, so every finish reads up close. One board runs deep — burgundy stars and spots, olive and tortoiseshell, a moss-green marble and a grey checker — and a second turns softer: pink marble, greige and pearl studs with a single gold-foil nail. All on short round tips.

August 2026 nail art
August moves between soft pearl tones and deeper, stonier ones — sheer pinks and sage greens with a fine shimmer on short round nails, then charcoal, amber and cream on longer square shapes. Two of this month's boards come straight from our sample tips, so you can see the finishes up close.

July 2026 nail art
July was collected as mood boards: a poolside story in aquarium blues with tiny tomatoes, black cats and starry tips, and a garden story in mossy greens and sheer pinks with hand-painted koi and petals.
