One of the newer nail trends in Korea is called "cheek nails", also known as "blushed nails" or "peach nails". It's a trend that follows the hangover makeup trend. At-home nail artists create soft pink (the most popular color) gradients on their nails to mimic the look of blushed cheeks. There are over 1500 photos on Instagram sporting this new type of nail art. While pink and peach colors are among the most popular, some also use orange, and blue, and customize the art with glitter, water decals, and glass nail stickers. A representative from the nail polish brand Withshyan says that this look can be achieved using an eyeshadow brush. One can dab the uncured gel nail polish lightly with a soft sponge, which will help spread the gradient out into the desired shape. It's important to use nail art stickers or tape to help keep the shape of the design when working with gel polish that has yet to be cured.
