There are so many trends for nails right now. In colors alone, summer brights, metallic, white, and neon are on trend. Our fingertips are the perfect canvas for our inner artist to express our personality and creativity. You can incorporate the color trends in your manicure and still make it unique by adding an accent nail or highlight finger. This just means to keep 3 or 4 of your nails on each hand the same color or pattern, and then paint the remaining nails a complementary color or pattern. Here’s a few ideas from Pinterest.
