Butterflies were a big trend in the 90s and early 2000s and with the rise of 2YK fashion, they’ve come back in style. Think of everything from butterfly hair clips, accessories, clothing with the butterfly emoji, and of course, butterfly nails.
As with many things, the Kar-Jenners kickstarted this trend in 2019 with Kylie Jenner sporting a cute set of pink butterfly nails. Ever since then, the trend has really taken on with many beautiful butterfly-themed nails appearing across social media.
And the best part? You can customize your butterfly nails as much as you want. Looking for a low-key look? Ask for a classic French mani with barely-there butterfly stickers. Want an eye-catching design? Opt for a full-on intricate design.
