With searches up 1,062% on Pinterest, it's clear that Mediterranean nails are having a moment this summer holiday season.
Between sun-soaked getaways on the coast of Greece and city breaks underneath the Italian heatwave, I’m having the true definition of a Euro summer this year. And with my many trips around the continent already booked, I’ve started to think about the nails I’ll be choosing for each of my travels.
My port of call for inspiration? Social media, of course, and I’ve started to notice one particular nail trend popping up more and more. Enter the Mediterranean nail trend.
What Are Mediterranean Nails?
Inspired by the coastal aesthetics of sun-drenched countries, Mediterranean nails feature bright colours such as blue, yellow and orange, as well as ceramic tile prints, fruity motifs, and seaside accents. This makes the vibrant nail trend perfect for any upcoming summer holidays you have planned.
Although I’m usually a minimalist when it comes to my nails, typically opting for classic French tips or nude hues, this eye-catching trend still manages to feel within my comfort zone while also bringing along a playful touch that feels well-suited to the warm-weather season. And it’s not just me who thinks so. With searches for Mediterranean nails up 1,062% on Pinterest, it’s clear that this mood-boosting trend is set to dominate the nail scene this summer.
