Beauty trends come and go with some being more wacky than other. Last week saw the return of the 90’s trend of jelly nails and now nails have gotten an African make-over the ankara nails being the latest beauty trend. If you love a pop of colour, then you have got to try the new ankara nail trend (and it’s easier than you think).
Nail art enthusiasts would have had to draw patterns on themselves beforehand which would be time consuming and cumbersome but thanks to ankara fan and entrepreneur Nikki Billie Jean, ankara nail art just got a whole lot easier.
Nikki is the creator of website and movement ‘All Things Ankara’ and according to their website:
All Things Ankara is a multi-faceted fashion and entertainment brand dedicated to ankara print fashion and it’s relevance in global fashion.All Things Ankara is the #1 source of ankara print fashion, consisting of an online publication, e-commerce shop for exclusive All Things Ankara designs, e-commerce retail marketplace for ankara print designers worldwide, and special events catering to ankara print fashion enthusiasts.
According to the ‘All Things Ankara’ website, ‘Nikki became passionate about ankara print fashion, while participating and producing African fashion shows in college at The Pennsylvania State University. In August 2012, she started All Things Ankara after discovering that there wasn’t any site online and social media page dedicated only to ankara print fashion. In April 2014, after gaining popularity on Instagram, the official All Things Ankara website was launched.’
Nikki has since found innovative and interesting ways to incorporate ankara into everything she does including these easy-to-use ankara nail wraps which can transform your nails in a matter of minutes.
Instead of spending ages, carefully painting patterns onto your nails, these wraps will have your nails good to go in a fraction of the time.
Who doesn’t love a speedy beauty hack?!
