|Nails| Lorde Inspired Nail Art

DSC03171 - Just Biffi

Lately, I’ve been really into Lorde’s music (and by lately, I means since Royals dropped).  I think she writes smart and thought provoking lyrics, with great and addictive sounds to match.  All her drama and beefs aside, I really like what she has to say from a creative stand point (and she makes me jealous of her vision and drive at the age of 16!).

When the music video for Team came out, I was a big fan of the visuals.  I liked the opposition of the inner city vs. the smoky secret society, in which Lorde herself is performing.  As of late, Lorde has been sporting a really bold dark lip, a trend that I love as well, but I wanted to find a way to reinvent it into nail art.  I took the colour of her lips as the base, her eyeshadow as the accent and added my love of 3D elements into this edgy, yet polished nail art look.  

I hope you enjoy checking out how I created this nail art manicure.  If you know me, you know that nail art is a key part of my overall style, so it was only natural that it would become a feature of Just Biffi.  

Stay tuned to Just Biffi and my YouTube channel Jessica Biffi, for more videos and tutorials to come!  And if you haven’t yet, check out
