First, we were obsessed with the '90s and all of the beauty trends the decade had to offer but recently, things have shifted. Now, it's easy to see that everything Y2K-related [1] (that's "the year 2000") is taking over on social media. You could say it's the natural progression of things.

From butterfly clips to frosty blue eyeshadow [2] and glossy lips, we can't get enough, but hands down our favorite way to pay tribute to the 2000s [3] is with Y2K-inspired nail art. Anything goes, which is the best part about this nail trend [4]. Our favorite designs incorporate an assortment of flames, checkered print, pink hearts, rainbow hues, swirly lines, and cheetah print — oh, and don't forget lots of glitter. The "messier" and more over the top the better.

Some manicurists have even taken to hand-painting characters and toys from the early aughts, like Furby and Tamagotchi, while others are throwing it back to the spray-paint aesthetic many of us wore on T-shirts and sweatpants (and pretty much anything else we could get writing on).
