The "BookTok" Edit: How to Match Your Manicure to Your Current Read

Introduction
If you are part of BookTok or Bookstagram, you know the drill: You finish a 5-star read, and you immediately need to take an aesthetic photo of the book in your hand.
But if your nails are chipped or bare, it ruins the shot.
At TsukiNails, we know that reading is an aesthetic experience. Whether you are diving into a spicy Dark Romance or a cozy cottage mystery, here is how to curate the perfect nails for your reading era.

1. The "Dark Romance" Reader
If your bookshelf is full of black covers, enemies-to-lovers tropes, and Gothic vibes.

  • The Vibe: Moody, seductive, and dangerous.

  • The Look: Deep Burgundy, Black Cherry, or Sharp Stilettos.

  • Tsuki Pick: Vampire Kiss or Midnight Velvet. It matches the drama of the plot perfectly.

2. The "Cozy Fantasy" Reader
If you love tea, warm blankets, and low-stakes magic.

  • The Vibe: Whimsical, soft, and comforting.

  • The Look: Sage Green, Mushroom Brown, or Cottagecore Florals.

  • Tsuki Pick: Matcha Swirl or Pressed Flowers. It gives main character energy in a forest setting.

3. The "Rom-Com" Reader
If you love pink covers, happy endings, and beach reads.

  • The Vibe: Bright, poppy, and optimistic.

  • The Look: Hot Pink, Heart Designs, or Glazed Donut.

  • Tsuki Pick: Love Language or Bubblegum.

4. Practicality: Turning Pages
Beyond aesthetics, length matters.

  • The Struggle: Turning thin paper pages with XL nails can be tricky (and you might accidentally rip a page!).

  • The Fix: Almond or Oval shapes are best. The rounded edges slide under the page easily without tearing the paper.
