Aprés Nail took to the New York Fashion Week runway complementing Maisie Wilen couture, and world-renowned editorial nail artist Sojin Oh (@sojinails) led the charge. Oh brought the popular peekaboo nail trend to the runway using Aprés Gel Couleur, Aprés Nail’s recent launch of 100 highly-pigmented gel polishes.
A peekaboo nail is when there is one color or design on the top side of the nail with a different color or design underneath. This trend has popped in and out of the spotlight for years but has recently come back in a big way.
Aprés Nail’s Gel-X Tips offer a super easy way to achieve this trendy look, allowing you to paint the underside of the tips prior to application. Check out the simple step-by-step tutorial below.
