Beautiful Cottagecore Nails

All the Little Things That Make Life Worthwhile

These cottagecore nails have plenty of whimsy to make you smile every time you look down. The look is a combination of bug nails, floral nail art, and fairycore. Even though the height of the cottagecore trend hit a couple of years ago, this mani is still checking today’s fashion boxes. They have chrome, texture, and undeniable style.

What Is Cottagecore?

Before it came for your nails, cottagecore developed as an undercurrent in interior design and fashion throughout the 2010s. It’s centered on the ideal rural lifestyle symbolized by peaceful, natural imagery. For example, imagine a cozy home with comfy, slightly worn furniture in cheerful colors. Healthy plants grow everywhere, contented bees hum from bloom to bloom, and your favorite pet snuggles nearby. It’s a sustainable, uplifting lifestyle, the complete opposite of the busy, stressful lives many of us live. No wonder so many have embraced this aesthetic enthusiastically.

3D Cottagecore Nails

Many nail artists aspire to 3D sculpture but put off practicing because of the cost and difficulty. Traditional acrylic nail art requires quite a bit of skill because the material sets so quickly. Moreover, it’s pricey to collect natural hair brushes and acrylic powder in assorted colors. And this doesn’t even include the fact that monomer has quite a strong odor or the extra care it takes to remove acrylic nails without harming the natural ones.

Now there’s a 3D nail art product that solves these problems! If you haven’t tried it yet, stop by our store and pick up Lavis poly gel. It’s a premixed paste that’s ready to use right out of the tube. It won’t dry until it’s cured in a nail lamp, so you have plenty of time to sculpt it. It has next to no odor and can be manipulated with a synthetic brush just like gel polish. Plus, you can begin with a basic color, then shine it up with chrome or paint it with gel polish of any shade. Poly gel is excellent for creating durable, lightweight extensions, and incredibly detailed cottagecore nail art.

If you’ve fallen in love with cottagecore nails, why not decorate your home with a rustic look, too? If you live in an apartment, you might not be able to do much with the exterior. However, you could hang flower boxes in the window sills and change your doormat to suit the theme.

Also, increase the number of potted plants inside your home. Make sure that some of these are herbs or veggies because the ideal isn’t just beauty, but also utility. You’re turning your home into a haven in every way possible. FYI: Radishes are very easy to grow and have cute heart-shaped leaves.

Maybe you can’t afford new furniture right now, but what about throw covers, knitted blankets, or cushions with pleasing floral patterns? Sewing a quilt takes time, but pretty much everyone can do it.

Stop by the secondhand store or an estate sale and re-home a few knickknacks. Cottagecore favorites include frog figurines, fairies, gnomes, and butterflies. Maybe you’ll even find a vintage table lamp.
