Mix and match nails: For when you're not sure which design to choose



Nail FOMO is the worst. It’s tricky business when you commit to the “cloudy sky” design on the menu, but you’re still half-tempted by the “peaches and cream” number your mate’s got going on beside you. Especially when said nail art is Shellac’d on for the next three weeks.

But, for next time you find yourself in that particular predicament, we thought we’d give a shout-out to our favourite emerging nail trend. Some call it mismatched, some call it mix and match and some call it pick ‘n’ mix. Either way, it’s an eclectic mash-up of all your favourite designs, scattered across different fingers, all in one mani. Problem solved, you might say.

Enthusiasm for the trend has been gaining momentum and already, it’s earned major kudos after Kylie Jenner debuted her own rendition of the trend back in July. Spotlighting nine different designs, she mixed bright pink dots with cobalt blue cow print, yellow swirls, negative space orange outlines, eyelids and more.
