The post Vivian Xue Rahey Creates Pop Culture Art on Nails appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>Rahey creates impressive pop culture art on nails, nailing (pun intended) every detail of the subject. She manages to recreate characters from movies, celebrities, and other pop culture staples on a single nail. Sometimes, she groups all nails on a single hand into a single canvas for even more astonishing works.
Rahey originally started a career in computer science, being part of the team behind several startups. She started being interested in the beauty and cosmetics industry in 2014 while trying to develop an app that would focus on beauty services. During that time, she discovered the world of nail art and ended up being fascinated by it.
“I would spend hours in the bathroom with all this nail polish,” Rahey shared in a chat with SF Chronicle.
Since then, Rahey honed her nail art skills to an impressive level, sharing her works on social media and gaining a huge following. She also started a successful business, Pamper Nail Gallery, which provides fake nails with all sorts of motifs, including her own illustrations.
Check out some of Rahey’s impressive pop culture nail art below.

]]>The post Betina Goldstein’s Nail Art is Just Right appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>And yet, Goldstein is always up for a challenge, when it comes to her designs. “I love designs that challenge me and really require a lot of tiny details and a lot of patience,” she shared in an interview with Elle. The end result fits nicely inside the category of wearable art.
This also might explain why Goldstein has caught not only the attention of Instagram it-girls but of A-list celebrities like Bella Hadid, Zoë Kravitz, and Billie Eilish—all of which have sported her designs.
“I focus on designs that are more contemporary and they have intricate detail and dimension, but don’t necessarily overwhelm your nails,” says Goldstein. “It’s all about the placement of the nail art. It’s really minimal. At the same time, some of my nail designs are really out there: I’ll do chains on the nails—but with a sheer base.”
And while most of her designs are minimal, Goldstein sometimes explores more dramatic options (introducing elements like rhinestones and liquid gold). In order to achieve her more out-there designs, she sometimes takes to the local craft store.
“I’m always going into craft stores and finding like random things around my house to put on my nails,” she relayed. “One time I had this Chanel ribbon, and it was too beautiful to throw away so I just cut out each letter and then place them on my nails. I don’t know what the inspiration, I just see that object and I’m like, oh I could do something with this. That’s it!”
Take a look at some of her designs in the gallery below!

]]>The post Treat Your Nails to Gracie J’s Designs appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>We’re ready to step up our fashion game with the latest nail art trends. While a fresh, minimal manicure is always welcome, this summer is all about bold designs, neon colors, and eye-popping patterns.
by Gracie J 
(@theeditorialnail)“I derive inspiration from other places, from all kinds of artists, like jewelry designers,” said J in an interview with Coveteur. “But sometimes I just have an idea that pops in my head.” Such ideas include modern art-inspired nails, sculpted nails that incorporate jewelry, and even letter-shaped nails.
According to J, her passion is linked to her childhood, and more specifically her mother: “My mom is a very flashy person; she always had her nails done,” she noted. “If we’re going to a simple BBQ, she’ll wear a gypsy skirt and shirt with chains—she’s the flashy Haitian mom.”
Growing up in Haiti also meant attending a school that maintained a strict regime when it comes to your nails: “I also went to school in Haiti for a little while when I was younger, and they would line you up and check your hygiene, including your nails,” says J. “They would send you home if it wasn’t up to par.”
Currently based in New York City, J is the former Lead Nail Stylist for TNT’s critically-acclaimed television series CLAWS. And with over 90,000 followers on Instagram, she isn’t showing any signs of slowing down. If you’re looking to upgrade your fashion style, start here!

]]>The post Makeup Artist Uses Her Body as a Canvas to Create Stunning Illustrations appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>This 26-year-old artist enjoys doing makeup for others and helping people feel prettier, but her true passion is using her own body as a canvas and creating stunning illustrations using makeup tools.
“I have loved art ever since I can remember. My creativity rocketed when I realized that my greatest canvas was my own body,” she explained in a recent post on Bored Panda.
According to Toma, she initially obtained a graphic design degree but wanted to give makeup artistry a chance. It wasn’t long before she discovered all the possibilities that makeup offers, and this prompted her to start making illusions and experimenting with visual effects.
Toma’s creations are super-impressive, coming with close attention to details and being very convincing. This is especially the case with some of her scarier works, which look like they came straight out of a horror movie.
“Makeup is my passion and definitely one of the best ways to express myself and show my creativity to other people,” she concludes.
Check out more of her works below.

]]>The post This Designer Creates Realistic Fairy Wings appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>Angela is a California born artist and designer who, for the past 16 years, has been creating gorgeous fairy wings. She started as an entertainer in fairy and princess parties – she wanted to create a fairy costume based on her own vision of what a fairy would look like. She wanted her fairy wings to look as real as possible – as if they were plucked from a real fairy, and not assembled in a factory.
Inspired by classical movies like The Labyrinth and by real-life insect wings, she decided to create her own wings. She started experimenting with different materials and styles until she developed an entire line of costume-made wings, and with each creation, her audience and customer base grew wider. Her reputation grew slowly, and eventually, her wings started showing up in fashion shots and runways. When her wings starred at the annual Victoria’s Secret shoe – that’s when she knew she’d made it.
Appropriate this international women's month, yes?

]]>The post Melody Ricketts is a Real-Life Disney Princess appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>Melody is an LA-based actress and singer with a flair for the dramatic and a burning passion for anything Broadway and Disney. But LA is full of aspiring actors, the competition is tough, and until she makes it in Hollywood, Melody still has to pay the bills. She came up with an ingenious way to do that – instead of waiting tables at a café or babysitting, Melody started hosting children’s birthday parties as a Disney princess. It’s kind of genius if you think about it – it’s a job that allows her to showcase her talent and home her skills as an actor and singer, and bring a smile to the face of hundreds of children.

In fact, Melody’s weekends, which is when most children’s birthday parties take place, tend to be hectic. She has to get up with the break of dawn to apply her makeup – she has to look exactly like the princess she’s playing! – and then she puts her dress and wig and drives to the first of many parties, where she’ll sing for the kids, answer questions and play games. It’s not an easy job – but for Melody, it’s a dream come true.

Facebook Memories (wow, that felt gross and corny to type out) just informed me that I played Belle in a production of Beauty and the Beast Junior TEN YEARS AGO. That beaming little girl on the left could never have began to dream what her future held. Wow. 
Mary Poppins is and always will be one of my absolute favorite movies of all time… Julie Andrews is such a personal icon of mine.

]]>The post Texas Based Makeup Artist is Matching Her Beauty Looks to Her Manicures appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>The 23-year-old makeup artist from Texas attracted almost 75,000 followers to her Instagram, since starting her page @makeupbykay_19 less than three years ago. Kayla initially only shared photos of her favorite beauty products, and the amazing makeup looks she created using them, but that’s ancient history at this point.
She attracted a ton of new followers since she started taking photos of her eye makeup with her hand in the frame. Her manicures perfectly match each makeup look she creates and people started showering her with praise ever since she started this experiment.
What makes Kayla’s looks so amazing is the fact they’re not impossible to pull off. She’s a talented makeup artist, but her nails usually feature one-tone nail polishes from affordable brands, such as SinfulColors, Sally Hansen, and Floss Gloss.
