Cartoon Art is the Must-Try Y2K Nail Trend for 2021
Trends for summer 2021 are already being marked a more playful, vibrant aesthetic, similar to that of the Y2K era. Leaning into colorful and bold fashion offers a true escape from the intense reality we live in, as does incorportaing those elements into our beauty. Nail art bridges the gap between fashion and beauty, offering you an opprtunity to maximize the potential of your look, without adding too many pieces and cluttering your ensemble. Like the buzz around kitschy jewelry and furry accessories, it's time to bring joy to your nails with the cartoon nail trend that everyone will be raving about this year.
Using creative designs and nostalgia, the trend continues to gain prominence by employing an atmosphere very different from the traditional nail polish trends. Among the big names that have already adopted the look are singer Dua Lipa, known for her love of nostalgia and early-2000s fashion, and the French singer Angèle.
For the upcoming warmer months, it's worth celebrating brighter days by playing with neon and pastel tones, either in a gradient of different colors or with child-like drawings and designs such as flowers, clouds, emojis, and cartoons. Stickers are another ally to achieve this look, specifically the simple smiley face one everyone remembers from elementary school. For inspiration, check out these nail art ideas.
