Kawaii World
A five-part kawaii-inspired workshop series that marked the release of ACRYLICS Beta v2. October 2024.
Five sessions. One kawaii world.
Kawaii World was a five-part workshop series: Moodboard Madness, CultureShift, Kawaiiverse, Gyaru Revolution, and Design Details. It offered creative and vocational entry programming for artists and small business owners in the nail and beauty industry.
Where does a trend begin?
Each session explored a corner of kawaii culture, from moodboards and gyaru style to the details that make a design.
Every session was paired with technical testing of ACRYLICS platform features, and the series marked the release of ACRYLICS Beta v2.
