Refinery29's 'Beauty Test Lab: Are Bird Manicures The Next Big Nail Trend?' clip was executed by the blog's senior beauty editor Megan McIntyre. The cosmetic experiment evaluated the Nails Inc. Feather Effects lacquer for the trial series, assessing what the website believes is an up and coming look.
The Nails Inc. Feather Effects product replicates classic avian looks by way of sparkles. Though they are not feathers, they nonetheless take on the look seamlessly. The Beauty Test Lab found the style to be of mass appeal as users can apply multiple coats, dependent on how one would like to see the final manicure. This DIY aspect is furthered by the four shades that the product is sold in.
