Recently, you may have noticed that mismatched nails that are filled with different shades outnumber manicures that are simple and single-toned. It makes sense that you’d want to experiment with colorful nails after seeing celebrities like Kendall Jenner and Blake Lively embrace the trend.
For almost a year now, rainbow manicures have been popping up on Instagram, each one a cooler variation than the last. However, now that salons are open again, they are becoming the manicure of the summer. The original rainbow manicure consisted of one color on each nail, but has now evolved to include rainbow French manicures and rainbow nail art (think a different colored flower on each finger).

Although the trend is light-hearted, high fashion has taken notice and was seen on models like Gigi Hadid and at the United Colors of Benetton show during London Fashion Week.
The appeal is evident. It pairs well with many other trends everyone is currently fascinated by, including hair accessories, prairie dresses and small bags, and allows you to wear all your favorite summer shades simultaneously. It’s all a little cheesy, but it’s a lot of fun. If you’re not ready to visit the salon yet, it’s also very easy to do it at home.
