The Nail Art Trend Of The Summer Is Coming Straight From Your Childhood

Remember when you discovered nail polish as a young one, and you were so indecisive that you’d paint each of your fingernails a different colour? It was an iconic look.

Nowadays we’re more likely to go for a more mature choice of solid red or nude nails (boo), but we’ve been noticing a very familiar trend emerging over the past few months.

The cool nail art accounts on Instagram have been all over multi-coloured nails, whether they’re pastel hued:

Neon tips:

Full on rainbows:

Or matching two or more complimentary colours:

The best thing about this trend is that it doesn’t really take much skill at all – you can easily accomplish it in your own home, which is good news for all of us who couldn’t wield a dotting tool if our lives depended on it. Yay for somewhat accessible nail art!

Who else is dying to play with their polish collection now? It can’t be just us.
