Shimmering Pastels
If bright nails aren’t your thing, try pastels. You will still get that summertime color without the bold color. Add in an extra Y2K punch and add some shimmer on top.
Minimalist Nail Art
Subtle and dainty are two ways to describe this season’s nail art trend. Think small lines and tiny dots. The possibilities are endless and the minimal design is sure to still make a big impact!
