Nails that match my books
Some of my favorite nails that matched the book I was reading!
As a huge fan of the ACOTAR series, I love bringing the magic of Prythian into my everyday life, especially through my nail art! There's something so special about having a manicure that subtly (or not so subtly!) nods to your favorite characters and courts. If you're looking for 'A Court of Thorns and Roses nails' inspiration, you've come to the right place! Whether you're a devout member of the Night Court or dream of the Spring Court, there's a nail look for every fan. When I think of the Night Court, I immediately envision deep, starry blues and rich purples. For a classic Rhysand-inspired look, I'd often reach for a dark, almost black shade like DND's 'Black Licorice' as a base. Then, I'd add a glitter top coat or some tiny silver stars to mimic the Velaris sky. It truly makes me feel like I'm ready to attend a High Lord's meeting! Another idea for the Night Court is a sophisticated gradient, blending deep blues and purples, perhaps with a touch of shimmer to represent starlight. You could even try a design that hints at the intricate tattoos of the High Fae. But ACOTAR isn't just about the Night Court! For something brighter, think of the lush, vibrant colors of the Spring Court or the warmth of the Summer Court. Shades like a playful 'bubble pink' from DND, or even a soft, elegant 'cute bunny' (also DND) can perfectly capture that delicate, floral essence. I find these colors are perfect for when I'm re-reading the early books or just want a lighter, more whimsical feel that reminds me of Feyre's early days. Imagine incorporating tiny floral decals or delicate vine patterns for an extra touch of Spring Court magic. Beyond the main courts, there are so many nuanced inspirations for your nails that match books like ACOTAR. For a subtle, sophisticated look that reminds me of the Inner Circle's strength and elegance, I might go for a muted, earthy tone. The OCR mentioned 'Head in the Clouds' – a beautiful, serene shade that could represent the high mountains, the library, or a dreamy escape. Or perhaps 'Gimme' Butter' for a warm, comforting vibe that reminds me of Feyre's early days or the coziness of the townhouse after everything she's endured. Tips for Your Own ACOTAR Manicure: Mix and Match: Don't be afraid to combine elements from different courts. A dark Night Court base with a sparkling accent nail representing the Starfall can be stunning. Character Themes: Think about specific characters. A touch of gold for Nesta, a hunter green for Lucien, or a fiery red for Elain (post-Cauldron, of course!) can add a personal touch. Layering is Key: Start with a solid color, add glitters, or even try some simple stamping with tiny stars or moon phases. This is how you build depth and detail. Experiment with Finishes: A matte top coat can give a completely different vibe to a shimmery shade, adding a touch of ancient magic or mystery. Express Yourself: Remember, it's all about expressing your love for the series. There's no right or wrong way to interpret the magic onto your fingertips! Creating ACOTAR-inspired nails is such a fun way to connect with the books on a different level. It's a little secret nod to the world I love so much, and a fantastic conversation starter with fellow fans. I hope these ideas help spark your own creative journey for your next bookish manicure!
