From floral treatments to even a dead mosquito, the artistry of Elina Jung (better known as Elinails) knows no bounds.
In an inspired collaboration with the rising nail artist, barenbliss unveiled a creative partnership that celebrates the bold possibilities of its newest additions to the Dream Chaser Quad Eyeshadow palette – Pink Romance and Moonlight Fantasy.
The clean beauty brand born in Seoul broke new ground by merging the art of makeup and nail design.
Known for her unapologetically edgy nail designs and fearless creativity, Elinails has been turning heads with her distinctive approach to nail art. “I always try to put things on nails that people don’t usually consider,” she shares.
For this collaboration, Elina steps into uncharted territory — using the newest eyeshadow palettes from barenbliss as a medium for creating her intricate nail designs.
For Elina, the partnership with barenbliss is more than just a collaboration — it’s a celebration of her lifelong love for beauty. “I started using makeup and doing nails in grade school, and I’ve always had a huge love for both,” she recalls. “Nails and makeup always go hand in hand, whether it’s for a fashion shoot or just going out. They’re inseparable forms of self-expression.”
But don’t be fooled by the seemingly seamless marriage of styles. Translating barenbliss’ pink, playful and girly aesthetic into her edgier world of nail art was no small feat. “It wasn’t easy,” Elina admits. “I’m not really the girly type, but that’s what made this collaboration so exciting — it pushed me to adapt and discover something new.”
The result? Nail designs that reflect barenbliss’ joyful, vibrant personality brought to life through Elina’s unconventional artistry. From glittering ombre looks to abstract 3D elements, the designs embody the newest Dream Chaser palettes: bold, fun and free-spirited.
For budding creatives hoping to leave their mark, Elina has one piece of advice: embrace experimentation. “Some people are scared to change their aesthetic, but if you don’t experiment, you won’t discover what works best for you,” she says.
Elina credits her own growth as an artist to her willingness to try — and sometimes fail. “Hair will grow, nails will grow — so don’t be afraid to try. I used to try crazy eyeshadow looks before showering, just to learn more about my face. That’s how I discovered what I loved.”
Her fearless approach to beauty is exactly what barenbliss hopes to inspire with this collaboration. “The Dream Chaser Quad Eyeshadow palette isn’t just about creating a pretty look; it’s about chasing your boldest, most creative dreams,” says Matthew Salud, assistant brand manager of barenbliss Philippines.
With this collaboration, barenbliss redefines what’s possible in the beauty world, proving that makeup can transcend its traditional uses. The partnership with Elina is more than a showcase of artistry — it’s an invitation to explore, experiment and embrace creativity in all its forms.
Whether you’re using the Dream Chaser palette to perfect your eye look or to design a set of nails that tells a story, barenbliss and Elina remind us that beauty has no boundaries.
As Elina puts it, “Practice, try new things, and don’t stop exploring. The possibilities are endless.”
