# Couture-Inspired Nail Art Fashionistas Will Love the Fashion Magazine 'Marc Jacobs' Manicure By Courtney Scharf | Published 2012-06-15 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fashion-magazine-marc-jacobs References: [fashionmagazine](http://www.fashionmagazine.com/blogs/beauty/2012/06/13/nail-corner-lots-and-lots-of-floral-dots-for-a-marc-jacobs-resort-inspired-manicure/) & [fashionmagazine](http://www.fashionmagazine.com/blogs/beauty-home/) Inspired by the endlessly popular Marc Jacobs line, the Fashion Magazine [Marc Jacobs manicure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-fashion-campaigns-marc-jacobs-unveils-its-spring-2025-marcworld-cam) is making a splash. Strongly referencing a piece from the Resort 2013 collection, this is some very of-the-moment nail art. Incorporating many complementary colors, the manicure is bright and perfect for summer. Dotted designs and a fierce combination of hues define this look, making this manicure unmissable. Carefully explained in the tutorial, this [DIY](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tipzy) is an attainable and much more affordable way for fashionistas to get a piece of the summery collection. Much like the dress that inspired it, this design features gradually blending hues and is arguably more complicated than the average manicure. Accessible, offbeat and impressive, this is a new-school nail look that will have more than a few style enthusiasts trying their hand at [high-fashion manicures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/braille-nails). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Couture-inspired Nail Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a line of high-fashion manicure kits that allow consumers to recreate couture looks at home. - **Bright and Complementary Colors:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a line of vibrant and complementary nail polishes for a bold and trendy summer manicure. - **DIY High-fashion Manicures:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Launch an online platform that offers step-by-step tutorials and DIY kits for creating intricate high-fashion manicures. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Beauty and Cosmetics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce digital tools and apps that allow customers to virtually try on different high-fashion manicure designs before purchasing nail products. - **Fashion and Apparel:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with fashion designers to create nail art collections that coordinate with their runway looks. - **E-commerce:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Establish an online marketplace exclusively for high-fashion nail art products, connecting consumers with independent designers and artists. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Supermarket-Inspired Nail Art Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festival-inspired-nail-art.md) - [Customization-Friendly Nail Art Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nail-art-studio.md) - [Fashion-Branded Press-On Nails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/impress-x-kate-spade.md) - [Citrus-Inspired Press-Ons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sumo-citrus-x-chillhouse.md) - [Playful Spring-Forward Statements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marc-jacobs-charm-collection.md) - [Lifestyle-Inspired Press-On Nails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nail-collections.md) - [Art-Driven Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joy-artist-capsule.md) - [Fast Food-Inspired Nail Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nails-inc-x-mcdonalds.md) - [Glass Art-Inspired Nail Polishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glazed-glass-collection.md)
