Sweet sets: how to style the skittle nails trend

Over the past few years, we’ve seen a dramatic increase in consumable-inspired nails. From farmer’s market fingertips to Diet Coke digits, drool-worthy designs have been taking over. Now, the start of spring/summer has provoked a new tasty trend to take centre stage: skittle nails…

Mood-boosting manicures seem to be the hit of the hot seasons, with smile-inducing styles dominating social media. One of the uniting features of all of these designs is colour.

Inspired by the iconic multicoloured sweets, skittle nails bring the same burst-of-colour joy to your fingertips – with each nail painted a different vibrant hue. And just like the candy itself, the look is endlessly customisable, spanning everything from punchy neons to soft, dreamy pastels.
