Book-inspired nail art
I love nail art. I love color and cute and interesting designs, and having little clever artwork on my fingers! I also love books. You might see where I'm going with!
​
In 2024, I started doing book-inspired nail art for some of my fellow debut authors, and it was even more fun than I hoped! It was great motivation to both read some amazing books I may have missed, and to challenge myself to make some fun nail art for each of them. I also had a lot of fun putting together videos for each of them! Filming my process of creating the nail art, picking music, making the cover images--it's been such a rewarding way to bring together and celebrate two things I love. You can see some of my book-inspired nail art here, and more of them on my Instagram.
​
I am eager to keep this going! If you're interested in having some book-inspired nail art for your book, please fill out this Google form.
​
This is open to any and all books, whether it's your first or fifth, trad pub or indie, just released, upcoming, or already been released!
