One of my favorite nail looks this week is a black-and-white dotted flower mani. On the surface, it’s a fun '70s-inspired print that makes for a really pretty nail look. But “Flower Power” is more than a cool vintage aesthetic, and its significance to the culture rings true—especially now. Before it evolved into a symbol for hippies, LSD, and psychedelic vibes, “Flower Power” was a political movement in the late 1960s and early 1970s to counter brutality with peace.
What are our generation’s flowers? That has yet to be seen. Right now, the world feels particularly heavy, and a lot of things seem silly by comparison. But scrolling through the 10 best nail looks of the week has doubled as a source of light for me this past week. I hope it does the same for you.
