The trend, translated
The details matter more than the headline color here: finish, placement and proportion quietly decide whether y2k prom nails reads couture or costume. Choose one anchor element — a shade, a texture, a motif — and let everything else stay restrained.
When in doubt, book the simpler version; you can always add drama at the next fill.
