I haven’t been shy about the fact that I’m not a fan of minimal manicures. While they certainly had their moment (looking at you, soap nails), I’m excited to see a quirkier manicure take shape this season. Let me introduce you to twee nails, a style built on pastel tones, artsy designs and a retro feel. According to Pinterest, the search for ‘twee nails’ has surged in popularity and I predict it’s going to be a huge hit this summer. I tapped three manicurists to learn more about this trendy technique and how to achieve it right at home.
