The tutorial gives viewers step-by-step instructions for application. Though the look seems daunting, the video eases even entry level nail art aficionados in the process. The tutor instructs to simply add a white coat, and hope that you’ve got a hand steady enough to apply the seaboard-themed red stripes. Again, the anchor may seem like a challenge, but when taken slowly the design is easy. After a few strokes and simple lines, the shape comes to form the sailing symbol with little hassle. The nautical theme is a great addition for any spring break wardrobe. It’s playfully girly and sunny. Cutepolish is a YouTube channel dedicated to simple instructions for cute and easy nails. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - 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's Driving This Trend - **Nautical Nail Art:** Creating easy-to-do nautical-themed nails will be a trend among beginner nail artists. - **DIY Nail Tutorials:** More DIY nail tutorials will trend providing simple instructions for cute and easy nails. - **Summer-themed Nails:** Creating summer-themed nails art will be a trend in the upcoming seasons. ### Who This Affects Most - **Beauty and Personal Care:** The beauty and personal care industry can explore more DIY nail tutorials for beginners, especially summer-theme nails. - **E-commerce:** E-commerce platforms can develop and market affordable DIY nail tools, stickers, and patterns for nautical-themed nails, targeting beginner nail artists to boost their sales. - **Social Media:** Social media platforms can capitalize on this trend to post and promote DIY tutorials on creating nautical-themed nails to cement their engagement with their online audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Peel-and-Apply Nail Polishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nail-strips.md) - [Romantic Nail Polish Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sally-hansen-x-loveshackfancy.md) - [Pastry Chef-Approved Nail Polishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nail-edit-kits.md) - [At-Home Manicure Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salon-effects-nail-accents.md) - [Citrus-Inspired Press-Ons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sumo-citrus-x-chillhouse.md) - [At-Home Cat-Eye Nail Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cateye-nail.md) - [Customization-Friendly Nail Art Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nail-art-studio.md) - [Color-In Press-On Nails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tipzy.md) - [Condiment-Inspired Manicures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mayo-mani.md)
