Towel? Check. Sunscreen? Check. New suit and a fresh mani to match? Check and check.
Water nail art is a beach-day necessity or the perfect poolside accessory, and it's making waves on Instagram this Summer. The H2O-inspired nail art trend features refreshing blues and seafoam whites that'll keep you cool even outside of the pool. Water reflection nail art and seawater nail art will make you sing, "Ooh, I'm about to dive in." You can also add a splash of color with pool-float nail art or try a trendy aqua-inspired french manicure.
Ahead, we've rounded up a few of our favorite water nail art trends that are making a huge splash — just in time for the sunny season.
Water-Reflection Nail Art
Water-reflection nail art adds a splash, literally, to your manicure. Try a whirlpool of the color or a marble manicure to match the pool tile. Add 3D "water" beads for a wet 'n' wild look.
Pool-Float Water Nail Art
Personalize your pool-blue manicure with some colorful float nail art. Stamp Summer's favorite inflatable swan on your nail, or add a classic rainbow beach ball and neon tube.
Seawater Nail Art
Find your beach, no matter where you are, with seawater nail art. Add sandy details, tiny seashells, colorful beach balls, or your favorite beach accessory to your ocean-blue manicure — you can basically hear the waves crashing and feel your toes in the sand!
Water-Inspired French Manicure
Dip your tips in the water — literally, with an aqua-inspired french manicure. The classic french manicure is making a comeback, but with a modern twist. Try the look by adding swirly waves, blue foil, or ombré blue to your nail tips. Or try a water-inspired, split-nail french manicure or accent nail.
