Ugly Nails is a tiny branding project rooted in a conscious rejection of traditional beauty aesthetics.

The artistic, unconventional nail designs became the starting point for placing the project within the Pretty Ugly movement – balancing between ugliness and attraction.

The visual identity reframes “ugly” as a tool for expression, building a bold, uncompromising brand character closer to attitude and experimentation than to classic salon standards.
