20 Manicure Ideas That Totally Nail '90s Nostalgia
The 1990s have inspired A LOT of current trends. From television reboots to velvet chokers to thick-sole sneakers, it's basically like we are living in the '90s all over again -- except without the pagers and crimped hair (although I would not be surprised if that came back in style too). The nostalgia of Nicktoons, Lisa Frank, and Clueless are popping up on T-shirts, tattoos, accessories, and even nail art. We already saw a rising trend in jelly nails, which were inspired by the popular jelly sandals, but these nail designs are a whole new level of throwback. Seriously, these designs will give you all of the flashbacks.
People have gotten manicures that reflect everything we love about the '90s. The flame prints, "S" doodles, holographic aliens, and classic toys -- people thought of it all. There are nail designs with Furbies, Trolls, and tons of our favorite shows that aired on Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, and MTV. People have illustrated Scooby-Doo, Daria, and The Powerpuff Girls on their nails and it looks insanely cool. In addition to the iconic cartoons, people have also done interpretations of Saved by the Bell, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and Goosebumps. It is crazy how many memories a simple logo, color scheme, or print can bring back. All of these creative and detailed manicure ideas have us wanting to call up our nail salons to make an appointment right now! These manicures are just what we needed to go with our overalls and butterfly hair clips. Here are 20 nail art ideas that are all about the '90s nostalgia.
'Space Jam' 1990s Nails
Space Jam was one of those movies that I'm sure many of us watched on repeat (I know I did). The 1996 film starred NBA legend Michael Jordan and showed him playing basketball with the Looney Toons! classic. This manicure shows some of the Looney Toons, as well as their competition the movie, The Monstars.
