At Elias Rose Boutique, Azcendia, Limited Edition press-on nail, ERB Candles, tells a story rooted in ancestral memory and your future dreams. Our mission isn’t just to decorate bodies—it’s to honor them. That means celebrating Latinx traditions, Chicano identity, and remixing them into cosmic couture for a new generation.

Latinx Tattoo Design as Ancestral Reclamation

Our tattoo studio, Pretty N' Ink, celebrating Latinx Culture, every flash design, from marigold skulls to butterflies, & nopal hearts!

What make us so uniquie is we blend cultures off different worlds, like latinx culture & Aztec motifs, Mexican folk art, with modern surrealist and queer aesthetics. The result? Tattoos that don’t just decorate—they remember.

Latinx Themed Nail Art

Our nails don’t just sparkle. They speak. They echo:

Pan dulce palettes in almond shapes glazed with edible charm accents.

Baroque glitter tips reminiscent of quinceañera crowns.

We grew up watching tias and abuelas use their nails like shields and storytelling tools. So we designed ERB Nailz to carry that legacy—with a futuristic twist from planet Lúmora.

Culture Never Dies. It Evolves.

Growing up in a different planet meant learning culture not from books, but from others:

Hands that shaped tortillas and painted sugar skulls.

Hands that wrapped rosaries and sharpened eyeliner to a chola point.

Hands that protected, created, and resisted.

We take those traditions—the rituals, the beauty, the resistance—and weave them into everything we create. Our art may be surreal, but its heart beats with raíces (roots).

Street vendors selling glitter-covered stickers.

Zines packed with rage, poetry, and power.

So they opened a boutique in the desert—one that looks like a mirage but feels like home.

Latinx Nail Art: Memory and Magic

In our families, Latinx nail art was never “just nails.” They were a fashion statement. They were storytelling.

We remember watching our tias click through rooms like they owned the galaxy. Red acrylics, saintly decals, glitter tips that could cut through machismo.

We grew up knowing that how we adorn ourselves was part of how we defended ourselves.

That’s why our nails reflect more than trends. They hold echoes. Of quince nights and protest chants. Of kitchen table beauty rituals and late-night heartache healed with glue-on glam. Each one is a small, shimmering prayer.

Cosmic Lore, Cultural Core

Why mix Latinx heritage with alien fantasy? Because the world already treats us like outsiders. So we created a universe where we are the rulers—not the outcasts.

Our lore lets us:

♥︎ Reimagine our traditions without limits.

♥︎ Tell our stories through galactic nail art and tattoo symbolism.

♥︎ Create a space where Latinx queerness is celebrated, not censored.

♥︎ Every ERB product is a relic of resistance, love, and glitter-fueled pride.
