Summer Preview: Multi-Colored Nails

Forget nail art—our favorite trend for spring requires a creative eye and plenty of polish. We spotted the multi-colored nail trend (which features a different shade on each fingertip) on the streets during fashion month, and couldn't wait to play around with our own color combinations. From tea party sandwiches to an all-American BBQ, it was food that inspired us when deciding on our color palette. Check out our deliciously fun combinations below and share your own designs!  

The pastel hues of colored bites enjoyed during a high tea were inspiration for this yummy concoction. A subtle pop of melon green perfectly resembles a dainty cucumber sandwich.

July 4th isn’t the only day to flaunt your country spirit! Get patriotic with all things Americana, and go for primary, BBQ-inspired tones. If you’re looking for something else to root for, take color inspiration from your favorite sports team or high school mascot.
