While the warm weather is forcing us indoors and in front of window AC units, the dolphin nail art trend has us dreaming of more pleasurable ways to spend our Summer β like on a tropical island.
While some nail artists are painting elaborate gradient sunsets on nails as a backdrop for the jumping creature, others are simply using them as small and fun accents. Many people are even combining the nail art with this Summer's neon nail trend, as well as the always-popular long, almond shape seen on the hands of your favorite celebrities.
