5 Nail Looks To Celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month

May 12th, 2022

Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month is celebrated every May to honor the generations of Asian and Pacific Islanders' contributions to the United States' history. 

For this month's issue, Nailpro was fortunate to work with Nethan Nguyen who created a nail set focused on a variety of Asian American and Pacific Islander cultures. To see this gorgeous set, and learn the step-by-step process for recreating it, check out the May 2022 digital magazine. 

For even more inspiration, we have rounded up five nail looks from Instagram that celebrate just a few of the cultures: Japan, Korea, China and Vietnam.
