Latinas don’t know how to be basic. Those of us who chose to express our personality with fashion and beauty know that every part of your body is a canvas we can use to show off who we are. We look good from head-to-toe and that includes manicures.
During the Met Gala, plus-size model and body positive advocate, Ashley Graham showed off a heavenly mani that would make your abuelita want to put it on her altar. The nude and gold Swarovski crosses were designed by Latina celebrity nail artist, Mar y Soul.
“My devout catholic upbringing personally inspired me to place crosses along the half moons of her nails not only to pay homage to the Met’s heavenly bodies theme but to create classy nail art that can easily go from the red carpet to everyday life,” she told Hiplatina. “Ashley and I are good friends, we have gone to church together, so I knew that she would be ok with wearing crosses and she actually immediately loved her nails when she saw the design.”
Crosses and religious symbols are hot in fashion this season, so expect to see them them on nails too.
Here are 8 hot nail trends that will make you want to go get a fresh mani ASAP!
