The Lazy-Girl Manicure Trend You Need To Try

by Stephanie Montes

A few seasons ago, every beauty junkie was accenting her ring finger nails with a contrasting color, glitter polish or artsy design of some sort. No matter what the accent, it was guaranteed to be placed on a single nail and always only on that ring finger. Fast-forward to now where the trend has evolved into painting not just one, but 2 nails in a contrasting shade—while we’re not sure this is the answer to not having time for a full mani, we like the idea of saving a few extra minutes on nail art. The placement? All up to you. Here, see which 2 designers put their own flare on the trend and shop the nail polishes to try the look at home.
