How to Get Kintsugi Nails at Home
If you want to get the manicure at a salon, you can ask for "marble nails with chrome lines and ask the artist to fuse the two designs together," says Simone Francese, nail educator at Vanity Projects in New York City. Kintsugi and cracked marble have a similar effect.
If you want to get the look at home, Inzerillo has some tips. Start with a solid base color (you can re-create the matte, clay-like effect with a matte topcoat afterward). Inzerillo recommends greens and whites or a classic black like Lights Lacquer in Jefa ($11), OPI Nail Lacquer in Alpine Snow ($11), and UN/DN Lacquer in Depressionist ($18).
