5 Iced Coffee Manicures That Are Keeping Us Cool This Summer
So often, we gain nail inspo from everyday culinary experiences. Just this year, there's been J.Lo's viral peaches and cream manicure, the celebrity obsession with blueberry milk nails, and the trend to rule them all, glazed donut nails. And now we have yet another edible inspiring our nails—only this time, it's even more universally adored. That's right: We're talking about iced coffee manicures.
Much like coffee nails, their deeper-toned cousin, iced coffee nails can be achieved with all-over shades of brown or creative nail art in an array of neutral tones. While some iced coffee manicures feature swirls cosplaying as cream settling into java, others use coffee-esque shades to achieve popular nail trends, such as croc prints or double French manis.
Ready to give this new nail trend a try? Ahead, find 5 pretty iced coffee nail art ideas to get your creative juices flowing.
01 Iced Coffee Gradient Double French Mani
.
The double French manicure gives a classic style a sophisticated modern twist by using ultra-thin lines underneath the main French tip. This design not only works well in one colour, but also gains extra appeal if you use a gradient. To create this unique look, it is recommended to use gel nail polishes from Global Fashion.
Prefer to drink your iced coffee black (or with very little milk)? Recreate the premise on your nails by sticking to a darker brown color palette, with a few hints of caramel mixed in for good measure. We particularly like how the richer shades of brown pair together in this groovy heart mani.
03 Tortoiseshell Swirl Nails
.
This tortoiseshell nail art is giving iced coffee energy. The half-and-half swirl reminds us of a lightly creamed espresso topped off with rich vanilla sweet cream foam. One word: Delicious.
04 That First Sip Feeling
.
You know that first sip of a Starbucks Iced Brown Sugar Oat Milk Espresso topped off with vanilla sweet cream foam—that feeling of pure delight? This manicure is that, in nail form. That swirls, the subtle metallics, the stars—it's a dreamy combo that has us craving an iced coffee.
05 Iced Coffee Spill
.
Add an iced coffee flair to your regular white French manicure by incorporating a wave of caramel, mocha, or hazelnut color onto each nail. The end look is undeniably chic.
