Base Coat Stories’ Delicate Nail Art is a Love Letter to “Bridgerton”

Everyone seems to be obsessed with Bridgerton these days, and our favorite nail artists are no exception. Jasmin Hirsemann of Base Coat Stories is a huge fan of Netflix’s hit period drama, and she created a series of delicate looks inspired by her favorite characters.

Hirsemann’s love affair with nail art goes years back, but she didn’t think she’d come this far at the start of her journey. She was inspired to give it a shot after watching nail art tutorials on YouTube, but always felt like she’d never be able to reach the same level of perfection as her favorite artists.

As her skills developed over the years, she finally decided to share them with the world, and her leap of faith certainly paid off. She went from working in retail to being one of the most popular German nail artists, with over 240,000 Instagram followers under her belt.

Hirsemann caught our eye with a recent series of manicures inspired by her favorite Bridgerton characters. The first video generated millions of views and perfectly mimicked the delicate patterns of outfits worn by Colin Bridgerton, Penelope Featherington, and Will Mondrich. Its viral success inspired her to make another, which pays homage to Francesca Bridgerton, Tilley Arnold, and Eloise Bridgerton.
