Concept
"We believe in feel-good beauty. In a way to express your creativity and a touch of little joie de vivre to your routine. We believe that nail care is self-care and that a little pop of color or shine will always boost your mood." This brand statement was crafted to encapsulate Le Mini Macaron’s playful and uplifting spirit. I translated this same energy into the art direction, ensuring that every visual conveyed a sense of fun, creativity, and spontaneity. Rather than positioning Le Mini Macaron as a traditional beauty brand, the approach turned it into a creative playground—where nail polish is less about perfection and more about self-expression and joy.
