The warm weather has invited nature to finally come out, and dragonflies are among the most beautiful parts of it. It's not surprise that beauty-lovers would use these iridescent creatures to inspire Spring and Summer nail art, and Instagram is ripe with dragonfly nail inspiration.
Whether you use them as a pattern across your tips or place one on an accent nail, there's no wrong way to embody this trend. While some people are using bright colors to go with the motif, others are incorporating it on neutrals or even darker nails.
Not sure where to start? Don't worry. We've rounded up some of the most impressive dragonfly nail art on Instagram for you to get some ideas. Check them out ahead.
Lilac Dragonfly Nails
Lilac shades have been popular across clothing, so it's only natural the shade starts appearing as nail art. Whether you decide to add the dragonflies to a few of your nails, creating a pattern or use them as accents is your call.
Pastel Pink Dragonfly Nails
Pretty pastels are a great way to wear the dragonfly nail art trend. To make the motif pop, you can use a green polish to create the dragonflies. If you'd like the manicure to look more cohesive, pick another pastel shade.
Negative Space Dragonfly Nails
Get in on what of the beauty's most cutting-edge trends by wearing the negative-space manicure. Place the dragonfly on clear polish to wear two trends at once. Not comfortable with a completely bare base? Have a negative space french-manicure like the one below.
Glitter Dragonfly Nails
If you're more of a "go big or go home" kind of beauty enthusiast, try painting some nails a bright color and sparkling polish to go with your dragonfly nail art.
Green Dragonfly Nails
One of 2019's biggest Summer trends is green nail polish. Start with a base of the color in a bright shade to ensure your look is modern.
Black Dragonfly Nails
Not one for color? The dragonfly nail art trend looks equally good in a graphic black and white version or with glittering art on a black base.
