Once upon a time, the phrase “save it for a rainy day” was quite popular. However, thanks to the global pandemic, the need for something fun to do on a “rainy day” occurs more frequently. On the days you may be in your feels and missing your life pre-Covid, an eclectic manicure can add some spice back into your life. Is your outfit looking bland? Try out a fun neon colored french manicure. Little black dress? Experiment with your skills and create a fun animal print look. Are you quarantining? Add pizzazz to your loungewear with a multi-tone manicure.

Here are five fun and trendy types of nail art to recreate that will instantly add flair to any outfit:

Whether you have returned to a somewhat “normal” life or you are someone who is still working from home––nail art is something fun for everyone.

I hope to see everyone rocking their fun nails around campus!
