Hold off on the neutral manicures—this summer, all I desire for my nails is a Mediterranean vibe.
Between sun-drenched escapes along the shores of Greece and urban getaways in the sweltering Italian sun, I'm experiencing the true essence of a European summer this year. With a number of trips across the continent already organized, I've begun to contemplate the nail designs I'll sport during my travels. For inspiration, I turned to social media, where I've noticed a particular nail trend emerging frequently: the Mediterranean nail trend.
What Are Mediterranean Nails? Drawing inspiration from the coastal vibes of sunny countries, Mediterranean nails incorporate bright colors like blue, yellow, and orange, along with ceramic tile patterns, fruity designs, and seaside touches. This lively nail trend is ideal for any summer vacations you are planning.
Typically, I'm a minimalist when it comes to my nails, often opting for classic French tips or nude shades. However, this vibrant trend manages to stay within my comfort zone while adding a playful element perfect for the warm season. I'm not alone in this sentiment; with a staggering 1,062% increase in searches for Mediterranean nails on Pinterest, it’s evident that this uplifting trend is poised to take over the nail landscape this summer.
