This feminine, urban design called City Fashion Nails was created by Anna Amelina, a Ukrainian nail tech and the owner of the salon French Guru. It’s perfect for the chic client looking for a statement-making piece and works best with short natural nails. Amelina has spent a significant portion of her career working as a nail designer backstage at fashion shows and photo shoots. She was even invited to participate in Ukrainian Fashion week this year. Fashion trends and prints largely inspire her nail art, and she loves experimenting with new materials.
