These 3 Cute Manis Are Trending on Instagram Right Now

First, 2019 gave us negative-space nails (aka the "naked" mani), but now we've noticed that all the coolest girls on Instagram are nailing another mani trend. Flowers, glitter and plenty of pink—this latest nail art trend is über-cute and utterly adorable. They remind me of the kind of nails that I would have rocked to a birthday party at primary school, and I'm totally okay about that. Here are three of my favourites that are trending on Instagram right now.
PASTEL BLOOMS
This mix-and-match mani mixes bold brights and pastel polishes with flowers for a cool-girl take on colourful nails.
You could create the flowers for this look by dipping the end of a cuticle stick into polish and dotting onto nails to form a flower. However, if like me, you're lacking in the nail art department, then these flowers look beautiful pressed onto nails and sealed with a clear top coat.

DOT TO DOT
I'm seeing pink and red everywhere in the beauty world right now—and it looks equally cute on nails. A minimal but still adorable approach to nail art if you don't fancy going all out.
