Late spring is a season dominated by colorful nail trends and floral accents. But if you're craving something more neutral or dark that still feels upbeat, we have your next mani look on lock. Introducing iced coffee nails, an homage to our favorite on-the-go cold drink in a nail look. This pick-me-up mani is the perfect way to indulge in a fun nail look that's more elegant and wearable than your average floral pastel.
What are iced coffee nails?
Just like the multitude of ways we take our coffee, there are plenty of ways to accomplish this trend. But the main components tend to be brown shades, swirl patterns and marbling techniques.
Capture the moment your cream of choice swirls into a fresh glass of iced coffee with delicate marble detailing. Or, grab the perfect shade of deep, dark brown for a black coffee feel.
