Purple and black sparkle, with a long, pointed silhouette: you do not need lots of themed artwork to enjoy a strong mood on your nails. This look from BARON Ikebukuro’s official blog puts the colours and their shimmer in the spotlight.
BARON Ikebukuro is listed as a two-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station’s East Exit, with all-private treatment rooms. Bring the reference and discuss the colours, length and shape you would love to wear during your time in Japan.
Two colours, two impressions of sparkle
The purple nails show vivid colour with fine shimmer, while the black nails have a dense, sparkling appearance. Black is not simply a plain contrast colour here: it has a luminous finish of its own. The long, pointed shape gives both colours an elongated silhouette.
If purple is your favourite, ask to keep more purple with black as an accent. If the black sparkle draws you in too, say you would like a similar amount of black to the reference. Describing which finish you want to see more of makes your request more personal than naming two colours alone.
A seasonal reference you can enjoy for its colours
The original post presents this as a Halloween-colour design. In the photo, however, the focus is on purple and black glitter and the long shape, rather than pumpkins or other seasonal illustrations. There are silver-coloured accents on selected nails, so it is not a completely undecorated look.
You can use it as inspiration simply because you love purple and black, without requesting seasonal artwork. That is a suggestion for choosing your own design, not a claim about the original customer’s reasons. If you love the decorations too, point them out; if the colour and silhouette matter most, ask about adjusting the accent details.
Discuss the balance of colour, length and shape at BARON
The official Ikebukuro page highlights sculpted-length styles, nail extensions and reference-design consultations. The salon’s reservation information describes an approach that values the balance of length, shape and decoration. Your request can start with the colours and develop into the silhouette you want.
Perhaps the pointed length is what you love, or perhaps you want these colours at a shorter length. All treatment spaces are private rooms. Bring your preferred length and a current nail photo so the salon can discuss the options for your own nails, rather than assuming every detail of the reference must stay unchanged.
Finding the Ikebukuro salon
The official walking estimate is two minutes from Ikebukuro Station’s East Exit. The salon is on the eighth floor of Kurosawa Ekimae Building. Check the building and route in the official reservation page’s access information; another exit may take longer.
If you would like the nails for an outing or event during your stay, share the date and design when enquiring. Confirm availability and the appointment time before planning other activities around it.
A message to start your consultation
I would like to visit the Ikebukuro salon. I like the purple and black sparkle in this photo. I am interested in the colours and long shape rather than themed artwork, and I would prefer more purple. I will send my current nails and preferred length. Could you confirm the suitable service, decoration, price and time, including removal if needed?
If you want the same amount of black as the reference, say so instead. A useful Japanese phrase is 「池袋店希望です。紫と黒のラメのデザインを相談したいです」—“I would like the Ikebukuro salon and want to discuss purple and black glitter nails.” Confirm language arrangements if needed; English-speaking staff are not guaranteed.
The photo does not establish the exact materials or technique, and identical accents or results are not guaranteed. Confirm the service and booking details with the salon; an enquiry alone is not a reservation.
Let your favourite colours lead the look.
