Flattering French Tips
There’s nothing more chic and timeless than a French manicure. If you are looking for a way to freshen up your French manicure and get in on the latest Instagram trends, try out this twist on traditional French tips. Replace your white nail polish with pastel or neon shades, and consider adding fun summer designs to brighten up your manicure. Incorporate anything from smiley faces to cherries, or add in personal touches that speak to your personality. The possibilities are endless! For nail enthusiasts alike, worry not. With this newfound way to customize your manicure while still achieving an everyday wearable look, French tips aren’t going anywhere this summer.
Ying Yang Euphoria
Make a statement with ying-yang neon nails! This design works particularly well with rounded or almond-shaped nails and is giving us ultimate summer vibes. Leave the negative space the color of your natural nail, or paint a coat of white or light-toned polish underneath your bright neon color of choice. While this style may look rather complicated for an amateur skill set, it is actually fairly simple. Just grab a dotting tool and your favorite nail polish! If you begin to feel overwhelmed, choose not to paint each nail a different color and stick to one shade for a more muted look. The choice is yours!
Nostalgia-Inspired Nails
Can you say nail nostalgia? These early-2000s Lizzie McGuire-inspired nails have us all feeling nostalgic for the vibrant pinks and purples of the previous decades. Not only are these eccentric nails a great way to incorporate color into your summer manicure, but they are sure to be a point of conversation between you and your friends. Live out your childhood fantasies with this modern twist on Lizzie McGuire nails. These nails are what dreams are made of!
