Yin-yang nail art: the easiest DIY manicure for a “balanced” spring

Perhaps it will be the desire to overcome these uncertain times while maintaining the right balance that the manicure yin-yang is having a lot of success on Instagram.

The symbol that represents light and darkness in the same circle divided by a wavy line lends itself to many variations on the theme. Associated with Taoism, an ancient Chinese philosophy and religion, the yin-yang motif represents the complex idea of ​​dualism that permeates existence, understood as complementary forces such as light and dark, negative and positive, logic and intuition.

The creativity in the reinterpretation of this symbol has allowed us to deviate from the original colors, black and white, to create multicolored and mismatched manicures that infuse positivity.

On the Instagram profile of @hypebaebeauty la nail artist Queenie Nguyen (who has done nail art for stars like Barbie Ferreira, Saoirse Ronan and Zoey Deutch) has made an easy video tutorial that we report here:

Here are the steps.
1. Apply a colored base of nail polish. White or other color.

2. With an ultra-fine tip brush draw a wavy line in the center of the nail with a different color polish. Fill one side of the nail with the same color. Clean the edges with a thin brush dipped in acetone.

3. Using a toothpick or other thin-tipped tool create a contrasting dot on the two halves of the nail.

4. Repeat the same process for all nails using the same or different color combination.

5. Allow the nails to dry and apply a top coat.
