French Mani 2.0
The best way to upgrade your go-to minimalist French mani? Trade in the regular white nail tips with standout hues of green to make a polished, fashion-forward statement. It makes for a perfect manicure for the trendsetters. With a sheer neutral base and cutesy flowers, this manicure is festive and fun, too.
Bleed Blue!
Serious question: is there anything cuter than these mismatched nails. For an ultra-low-lift spin, try this manicure. If there’s one trend that’s nearly inescapable at the moment, it without a doubt is checkered prints. It’s so big that we’ve actually crowned it as one of the trendiest styles of manicure. It’s playful, audacious, and screams ‘bleed blue’. Seriously, what’s not to love?
For Major Cool-Girl Vibes
We did all the hard work to find the freshest nail art ideas and we’d be remiss if we didn’t pay our respect to this ultra-chic nail art. A few stripes of white along with a gossamer stripes of green, orange, blue will take your look to a whole new level of awesomeness and it’s super wearable even beyond Independence day.
Negative Spaces FTW!
Low key may not be the phrase that immediately jumps to mind with nail art for the 15th of august, but this understated retro daisy-inspired design give this manicure the feel of modern art. If you want to join the chic nail art crew, you can easily do so by creating cute daisies all over your nails in orange, white and green hues.
