THIS Is the Newest Korean Beauty Trend That You Need to Know
Hello, nail enthusiasts! Word on the street is that there’s a new Korean beauty trend on the block that you *need* to know STAT. If you’ve already mastered the Mul-Gwang technique and have a fair share of go-to Korean beauty products in your makeup bag, glass nails are about to rock your world. Just as the name suggests, glass nails were created to resemble fragments of broken glass complete with a three-dimensional, holographic look. Here’s the kicker, though: They’re not really made of glass.
