I’ve also been seeing a lot more of the almond shape coming back into play, which I personally think is the best shape. I did the disco-ball nail in a French, too, and that was really cute. It’s so fun to do what I call a French twist: taking something classic and modernizing it. There are lots of different textures and gels that do cool things like the cat-eye gel and holographic chrome.įor French manicures, instead of it being the standard pink and white, I think we’re going to see even more color combinations. It’s really cool because I’ve never seen nail art go in that direction. It’s a lot of 3-D, almost borderline grotesque and beautiful at the same time. Right now, everyone’s living the fantasy. Which nail trends are you excited about for 2022? The nails of Kathrine Narducci, who plays Fez’s grandmother in the second season. I’ll bring something to the table and she’ll be like, “Oh my God, that’s exactly what I was thinking” or vice versa. ”īarbie, too, actually - we’re really in sync. I can propose something really kooky, and she’ll be like, “Oh my God, wait, I like it. I don’t feel like I have to ever hold back with her. Alexa, for instance, is such an exploratory person when it comes to beauty and fashion. You got to collaborate with your IRL friends Demie and Ferreira on Euphoria.
So for the nails, I think it had to be fashion forward but at the same time have a bit of a throwback feel that’s very clean. We were really exploratory with Maddy’s nails. It’s very Y2K or early 2000s but spliced with modern touches. How will her personality shine through her nails in season two? Sydney Sweeney’s nails for the first episode.Īnd what about Alexa’s character, Maddy? The internet loved her makeup and fashion looks from season one, like the viral purple I.AM.GIA two-piece from the carnival in episode four or the blue eye shadow outlined in rhinestones in episode eight. We took a lot of inspiration from nature for her sets. We’ll be seeing more bold and colorful designs on more modernized shapes, like the coffin shape. With Kat, she’s going to explore a lot of color, which I think is fun. Cassie is a very feminine character, so we wanted to emphasize that in her nails. We went for more classic and timeless nails but with a touch of flashiness. With Cassie, you’re going to see a transition of sorts. What kind of looks can we expect for characters in season two, like Cassie and Kat, played by Barbie Ferreira? The visual communication of a character’s emotional state through their glam choices, or lack thereof, is definitely a signature of Euphoria. The Cut caught up with Minerva about Euphoria’s manicure art in season two, the nail trends she’s amped to see in 2022, and the special experience of working with friends. “I don’t think that happens a lot in jobs.” “I’ve had some superspecial, deep, spiritual conversations with people that I will remember for the rest of my life in nail sessions,” Minerva says, reflecting on clients who’ve grown into friends she spends time with regularly.
The process of conceptualizing and creating intricate designs is an experience Minerva describes as meditative.

The hobby eventually became a career, and Minerva went on to open a salon in downtown Los Angeles called Nail Swag, which closed in September 2020 because of the pandemic after over four years in business. She would coordinate her outfits along with nail designs.
“I really wanted cool nails, and I just couldn’t afford to go to the Japanese nail salons quite yet,” she says. Minerva began seriously exploring nail art in college.
“I do feel like Euphoria was a super-manifestation. Doniella Davy, Euphoria’s makeup-department head, agrees. “She really pushed for me to be on the show,” says Minerva. In 2019, Minerva became friends with Alexa Demie, who plays the fashion-forward Maddy. I felt like, Oh my gosh, they need nails, and I could be that person for them.” “It was something that I had noticed, and so I reached out to the team about it because it’s a Gen Z–based show and obviously beauty has such an important role in it. “The first season, there really wasn’t much of that at all,” says Minerva.
