Having fun with our manicures is so in this season, and there’s no better proof than retro groovy nails. These ’70s-coded manicures are all about flowing movement, groovy colors and that undeniably retro feeling. Whether you’re feeling warm and earthy tones, vibrant blooming shades or even a basic black and white, there’s something so classic about this style. Embracing the bohemian and disco styles that dominated the 1970s, these manicures all feature complimentary colors in abstract, swirling patterns.
’70s Inspiration Is Making a Comeback
Nails aren’t the only place we’re seeing beauty taking ’70s inspiration. As we move away from the clean girl look that dominated the early 2020s, we’re turning towards the big and bold color and creativity of prior decades. Just consider aura beauty, which calls to mind the diffused and colorful eye shadow looks signature to the bohemian culture of the ’70s.
In addition, we’re seeing a strong surge toward the colorful but still pastel shades of the era. These colors, like baby pink and butter yellow, walk the line between eye-catching and wearable. And retro groovy nails take this color palette and add fun designs that provide beautiful movement to a mani.
