The Nail Art Trend Of The Summer Is Coming Straight From Your Childhood
Why pick one nail colour when you can have 'em all?
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.
