It’s not uncommon to look at your finished press-on nails and think, “Wow, what a masterpiece!” You know, like how you admire your parallel parking job, which shows off your steady hand. Well, what if we told you that you could create a literal work of art this summer with the best abstract press-on nails? The abstract nail art trend is taking over Instagram and beyond, and you can easily heat up the warmer months with your artsy designs. From swirls, dots, and squiggles that deliver ‘70s vibes to fiery sketches reminiscent of your favorite season, summer is about to be filled with abstract nail designs.
Abstract nail art is inspired by abstract paintings. Abstract artists don’t follow the traditional rules but rather let their personalities shine through with circular motions and rebelliously radiant designs. And you can do the very same with your minimal abstract nails. Are you ready to start a new season with an artsy and exquisite twist, particularly on your press-on nails? Here are five abstract nails you need to try this summer.
