See-Through Nail Art is the Summer Vibe I’m Carrying Into Fall
The Internet never fails to make me feel out of the loop with its lengthy display of next-level nail art. Growing up, the french manicure was as cool as it got and if you had acrylics, the occasional crystal or a bold shade is what you went for. Now, thanks to not only the celebrity nail artists whose specialty are one-of-a-kind designs but up-and-comers with just as much clout, the trends are never in short supply. So much so, that I’m only just developing a minor obsession with see-through nail art.
I like to think of it as the extroverted little sister of negative space nail art. Both are in the same category as far as design is concerned, but see-through nails give a manicure that 3-D-like finish that only elevates the embellishments on top, like a floral motif or Swarovski crystals. Though this bold look is totally doable on longer, natural nails, it truly shines when applied to a set of lengthy acrylics where the transparent tips tend to be thicker, thus delivering more of a glass feel.
And though I’m sure navigating life with faux digits is a challenge in itself, I have a feeling nail art like this makes day-to-day tasks worth the application time. So whether your set is acrylic, jelly, or all-natural, here’s plenty of see-through nail art that will inspire you to take the “less is more” summer look into the fall season.
