Monthly Art

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.

Every design is done in Korean gel at our studio in downtown Vancouver. If one of these catches your eye, mention it when you book.
