Nail Artists Are Rocking Our World with Textured Seashell Manicures

Most of the nail art trends this summer were pretty colorful and bold, but some manicurists on Instagram decided to embrace a more subtle approach to nail art. This resulted in one of the very best nail art trends of the season—textured seashell nails.

It was just a matter of time before this trend made its way to the nail art world since seashell jewelry and home décor are already a huge hit. Several beach-related motifs became extremely popular with nail artists in the last few months, but they took a little bit different approach with seashells.

This nail art trend is perfect for everyone who prefers neutral and earthy colors, but still wants a manicure that stands out. Seashell nail art only features white and beige tones because the main goal is mimicking the colors and texture of actual seashells.

Nail artists are really going the extra mile to make these manicures as realistic as possible, but some of them enjoy adding a couple of tiny details to the mix. Seashell nails sometimes feature pearls and tiny crystals, and they look equally chic even when that’s the case.
