Mix N’ Match
Why settle for one colour or style when you can have multiple? Meant to brighten up your look and bring attention to your hands, the trend focuses on bold colour with statement art. Art motifs going viral right now include those themed on food and the weather, with emojis making an appearance too.
Flower Power
The romantic movement in nail art has come around again. Delicate and demure, this is a subtle look that has taken hold during lockdown what with it being easily refashioned using a toothpick, with different colours creating the dotted petals.
Murakami
Takashi Murakami and his contemporary flower art, that has inspired many a collaboration in the fashion industry, is also seeing influence in the beauty sphere. The instantly-recognisable design offers a psychedelic take on nail art.
Retro
The focus is on colour combinations that embody the shapes and movements of a certain era. Colours that have been the true face of this look include red, yellow, pink, and orange, reflective of a sunset.
Technical Tips
Minimalism is the new normal but that needn’t mean sticking to nude hues. This design is a take on the traditional French tip, but with a less-subtle neon or pastel outline, doubled up for extra impact.
