From YouTube channel cutepolish, this video takes viewers step through step of the seemingly tough design. To recreate, simply begin by coating the nails in white polish. Continue by dipping a triangular makeup sponge into blue polish and dot the center of your nail. Repeat the process with yellow, green, red or any color you’d like your free-loving nails to be. To keep the somewhat messy design crisp and clean, add white lines starting from the center and moving outwards. The hippie look fits perfect with any style. From hipster cool to breezy bohemian, the youthful polish will add pep to your outfit. Get your free love on with these cute hippie tie-dye nails. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 91% | 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Tie-dye Nails:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in the nail salon industry to offer tie-dye nail designs as a unique and trendy service. - **DIY Nail Art:** Opportunities for beauty brands to create DIY nail art kits for consumers to recreate tie-dye nail designs at home. - **Bohemian Fashion:** Opportunities for fashion retailers to incorporate tie-dye nail designs into their bohemian-inspired product offerings. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Nail Salon:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in the nail salon industry to offer tie-dye nail designs as a unique and trendy service. - **Beauty:** Opportunities for beauty brands to create DIY nail art kits for consumers to recreate tie-dye nail designs at home. - **Fashion:** Opportunities for fashion retailers to incorporate tie-dye nail designs into their bohemian-inspired product offerings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Color-In Press-On Nails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tipzy.md) - [Supermarket-Inspired Nail Art Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festival-inspired-nail-art.md) - [Citrus-Inspired Press-Ons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sumo-citrus-x-chillhouse.md) - [Sunlight-Reactive Nail Polishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forever-wear-chill-paint.md) - [Condiment-Inspired Manicures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mayo-mani.md) - [Romantic Nail Polish Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sally-hansen-x-loveshackfancy.md) - [Tranquil Nail-Nourishing Polishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sally-hansen-color-therapy-bliss-collection.md) - [Color-Shifting Smart Press-Ons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ipolish.md) - [Iced Tea-Inspired Manicures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arizona-x-impress.md)
