Like any other category in fashion or beauty, nails and nail art go through trends. We've seen plenty of strange ones in our day, so when something genuinely pretty comes along, we have to take note. This summer it is all about the seashell nail — a likely textured accent nail that is perfect for anyone headed to a beach vacation.
The look has a few iterations, and each one is more beautiful than the last.
For this look, the shell is super natural and really pops against the bright tropical colors. Can't you just picture those claws wrapped around a cool mojito?
Some went for the more subtle shell look.
These nails are a totally natural and manageable length, and still, the shell looks poppin'. We love the simplicity of the blue and white — it screams ocean vibes.
Others full leaned in for a full mermaid look.
If busy is more your style, nothing stands out more than a holographic nail. The iridescent colors with mermaid tail scales and a full shell nail are everything an aquatic-obsessed lady needs.
Our personal favorite has to be the feminine approach.
The alternating pastel colors and well-constructed shell make this look versatile for all your summer looks. Rock it on a cruise or at a beach wedding — either way these nails are totally gorgeous.
Would you rock these cute nail designs?
Whether or not you would, you have to admit, they are artfully crafted and super innovative.
The only question we have is if you hold your nail up to your ear, will you hear the ocean?
