Color block manicures come back every summer, but this season’s version has a more playful diagnosis. Enter pill box nails: a bold, graphic manicure trend that splits the nail into two clean blocks of color, creating a capsule-like effect that feels fun and made for summer.
Annabelle Taurua, a beauty expert at beauty system, Fresha, says the look taps into beauty’s current appetite for throwback, feel-good designs. “The pill box nail trend leans directly into this nostalgic resurgence with its bold, block colors, offering that classic ’90s playfulness," she explains.
