Mood Board Set

This set starts a $150+. A collaborative nail art experience between you and your nail artist. Send 10 inspiration photos that feel cohesive. These can be artwork, fashion, photography, colors, objects, textures, or pretty images from Instagram. They do not have to be nail related! You must be 100% open to creative, unique, and unexpected designs. Your moodboard is the inspiration, not a request to copy each photo exactly. The goal is to allow your artist to interpret your references and create something completely original. Your artist will review your moodboard and determine whether the images work together to create a cohesive set. If a few images do not fit the overall concept, you may be asked to replace them. A few days before your appointment, your artist will use your moodboard to create a custom freestyle nail design specifically for you. You will review the drawn concept before your appointment to make sure you love the overall direction. Once the design is agreed upon, your final price will be determined based on the details and complexity of the artwork. This is a small creative collaboration between artist and client. You provide the inspiration, and I bring the concept to life through my own artistic interpretation. mention in comment section if u are getting gel x or structured manicure
