Embracing Diversity Through Nail Art
GlossaryLive Freestyle Nail Art Pride Nails Aigul

Article by GlossaryLive | Published in 2024

June marks Pride Month, a time dedicated to honoring the vast contributions of the LGBTQ+ community to society, culture, and history. This annual celebration is rooted in the Stonewall Riots of June 1969, a pivotal moment in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights. While Pride is predominantly celebrated in June, some regions, particularly in the Southern Hemisphere, host events at different times of the year to accommodate local seasons and circumstances.

The acronym “LGBTQIA2S+” represents a wide spectrum of identities: lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and trans, queer and questioning, intersex, asexual or agender, and two-spirit, with the plus sign acknowledging the inclusivity of other diverse identities.

In celebration of Pride Month, GlossaryLive, a leading nail education platform, is showcasing the artistic talents of nail technicians and beauty industry professionals from various backgrounds. This initiative not only celebrates diversity but also allows artists to express their unique orientations and identities through creative nail art.

This June, GlossaryLive highlights Aigul Fritzke’s exceptional nail art tutorial. Aigul, originally from Kazakhstan and now residing in Canada, has gained recognition for her innovative and vibrant designs. Her tutorial, featured in an episode of Freestyle Nail Art, teaches nail technicians how to quickly and easily create a striking rainbow look using both airbrush and alternative brush methods. This tutorial is perfect for Pride Month, offering a colorful and celebratory design that embodies the spirit of the LGBTQ+ community.

The celebration of Pride Month extends beyond individual expression to larger events such as NYC Pride. Celebrating its 40th year, Heritage of Pride|NYC Pride has announced the theme for 2024: “Reflect. Empower. Unite.” This theme underscores the importance of the NYC Pride March as a symbol of queer liberation and joy.

By participating in these celebrations and embracing the educational resources provided by platforms like GlossaryLive, the beauty industry can continue to champion inclusivity and celebrate the diverse orientations of its talented professionals. Through vibrant nail art and collective events, Pride Month becomes a powerful testament to the progress and unity of the LGBTQ+ community.

STEP 1

Use a detail brush & rainbow gel colors to create a design on a white base. Do not cure.

STEP 2

Use an airbrush to push & spread the colors on the nail plate. When the design is achieved, cure.

STEP 3

Apply matte top coat & cure.

STEP 4

Pencil lettering on the nail then trace with a fine detail brush & gel paint. Cure frequently to keep the lettering sharp. Finish with a shiny gel top coat.
