Now that the whole world is talking about 'The Story Of Yanxi Palace', (and it's high time you should too) you might ask : Ok so what's the big deal man? It's just a show. It's time to set all you ladies right! It's not just a show, but it's our current top fashion inspiration!

The show has garnered a viewership of 15 billion and is still steadily increasing in popularity. This is not just due to the compelling and gripping plotlines, but the movie received much hype due to the gorgeous costumes too. We took inspiration from these actresses and their costumes. Here's how to rock those "Yanxi Palace Inspired" nail art. Bring these designs down to your nearest manicurist now!
- Main Actress, Luo Weiying

She's often clad in grey-blue palace clothes that reflect her 'sacred maiden' status.
Nail colours should be white, grey and blue, with a tinge of gold/silver for that extra sparkle!
2. Queen Fucha

She is regal and gentle, the very picture of grace. She is often clad in earthy tones like browns and beige, to reflect her personality, which is soft like the moonlight. Of course this is not without the lovely embroidered gold and pearly silk flowers on her garb. Your nails should reflect the same colours and designs as well!

3. Mingyu
She is the female servant who is often clad in soft pinks and browns to reflect her youthful nature. Nails colours, should combine soft browns and pinks, interspersed with a little white. Perfect for the kawaii girl look!

Erqing slowly turns bad in the show. She is often seen wearing a black plush shawl, so a black nail colour suits her dark, dark side. Great for all our bad ass girls out there!
6. Lady Shu/ Consort Yehenara

Decked in lovely green garments, nails should similarly reflect this beautiful colour!
Can’t wait to wear this set out. Isn’t it perfect for the fall season?

She's one of the heroine's biggest backstabbing enemies in the show. (Read: Conniving Biatch) Interestingly enough, the pair are foils to each other and both are dressed in blue/grey colours. (in varying shades)
We reckon the galaxy look for these nails are a great fit!
Are you inspired yet? Even if period dramas aren't your sort of thing, at least you could take one or two tips from these great designs!
