How to style the Skittle nails trend

Over the past few years, we’ve seen a dramatic increase in food and drink-inspired nails. From farmer’s market fingertips to Diet Coke digits, drool-worthy designs have been taking over.

Now, the start of spring has provoked a tasty trend to take centre stage: Skittle nails.

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