PSA: nail appointments are back on! We’re so excited, are you excited? Everyone’s excited.
After months of naked nails, we can finally book in for our first post-lockdown manicure but with this glorious reunion comes the inevitable task of… picking a shade or design. Gulp.
The pressure’s all too much. That colour wheel of fortune will never not be petrifying: let’s go classic red, no wait, actually scrap that, let’s go nude. On second thoughts, let’s live a little and go for PANTONE OF THE FREAKING YEAR.
We’ve gathered 25 of the best-dressed nails on the interweb to inspire your post-lockdwon mani. Get bookmarking! And good luck with the decision making process.
