Zebra nail designs are super popular this year, especially for the summer season. They come in a variety of colors, so you don’t have to stick to the classic black nails version if you don’t want to. Equally, if you prefer a more subtle elegant nail design without too much contrast in colors, you can do the zebra nails in pretty neutrals and still make them look really beautiful.
This Year’s Trends for Zebra Nail Designs
What’s hot this year when it comes to zebra nails? Here are some trends that are very popular on social media:
- the traditional monochrome look gets a new spin and we are seeing lots of variations of the classic style – these include mismatched nail design, French tips with zebra stripes, alternating designs for each nail, and even zebra stripes in neutral ombre tones. Bottom line – sticking to zebra nail design in black for all your nails will likely look a bit simple and boring, unless paired with another color
- zebra stripes get the color treatment – there is no need to stick to monochrome when there are so many nail polish colors to experiment with. Go as bold as neon purple, or as neutral as pink or beige – in either case, the zebra stripes will be brought to life with the added color.
- French tips go wild – you would think that such an intricate nail design is normally done only on the full nail, but we’re seeing zebra stripe French tips everywhere! No just that, they also come in a variety of colors! If you prefer a more minimalist approach to your manicure, French tips are the way to go!
