About us

Lacquer Lane is a nail and beauty inspiration magazine for people who screenshot manicures and then actually book them.

We collect nail ideas by color, shape, season and technique, and we explain each one in plain words so you can recreate it. Alongside the nails, we cover outfit ideas that go with your manicure.

What we offer

• Nail ideas you can actually copy, each one explained so you can do it at home or show it to your nail tech.
• Seasonal edits, published ahead of time, so your fall, holiday and spring manicures are planned early.
• Trend explainers covering what a trend is, how it's done, what it costs and who it suits.
• Nail care how-tos for gel, press-ons, shaping and healthy removal.

About our photos

Every photo on Lacquer Lane is licensed. We use photos from Pexels under its free license, and each one credits the photographer. We never repost artists' work from Instagram or TikTok without permission. If you're a nail artist and would like to be featured, please get in touch.

New ideas are added every week, and seasonal posts are refreshed each year.
