Let me preface this by saying: I am not an artist. Nor am I even remotely good at anything artistic. Like, I'm truly terrible at even drawing a stick figure. So, seriously, when I say these nail art trends are easy, I mean it.
That being said, I love simple, minimal nail art and am constantly saving posts on IG from manicurists like Betina Goldstein and Holly Falcone. I'm also all about the bright colour combinations and mod designs that are popping up as the summer nail art trends. After watching a few DIY manicure tutorials from various nail artists, I decided to take the plunge and try out a few of the less-complicated designs myself, most of which could be done either just with the polish brush itself or with common household items. Think: paper clips and toothpicks.
Keep reading to see how each attempt turned out and what I used to create the designs, and then try out these summer nail art trends for yourself.
