The trend is open to interpretation (viaGlamour).
It can mean painting graphic line work or cartoon characters directly on your nails.
Choi toldByrdiethat accent nails are one of the most popular Korean nail trends.
What is an accent finger?
According toRacked, it exploded into popularity in the ’00s.
The publication surveyed several nail artists who listed a variety of reasons for the takeover.
“A lot of times people can’t afford a whole full set of nails.
That’s how they end up with the accent nail purely for economic reasons,” she said.
The nail artist also referred to the trend as an entry point to nail art in a different way.
“Start with one nail and you work your way to a full set of nail art.”
Customers may select an accent nail for other reasons, too.
“It’s actually the chicest new way to play up your ring finger,” the publication gushed.
The most important question is what will go on your special nail.
Another question will be if you should probably go to a salon to pull this off.
Keep in mind that you could achieve the accent nail look from the comfort of your home.
Most importantly, remember that rules aren’t hard and fast when it comes to nail art.
Because when the nails are that much fun, why stop at just one?
