The only solid we accept in the 90s are these vampy manicures that are nothing but a vibe. These are something that can compliment any skin tone and personality because everyone at least once want a fun and playful manicure. 

Tomato Red Nails

Another most spotted nail color in the 90s is this one. If the vampire shades are too deep for you, go for this one to make a standout and attractive statement. These nails are so in this time of the year, because hot red is the season's most wanted color.

Marshmallow Nails

Here is another way you can rock the marshmallow manicure, swirls are literally everything in this era and you must know that. Swirl nails are go-to for Gen Z because of a reason, and that is they are effortlessly cool and trendy and that's what this generation requires.

Icy Chrome Nails

Besides the solid colored nails, chrome nails were so in back then. Well, we still adore chrome nails as so many celebrities have recently rocked chrome nails in different shades. But in the 90s, there were few shades that you will always be able to spot and that were ice blue, copper, silver, and glittery anything.

Mix and Match Nails

Mix and match nails were go-to for 90s celebs and we have seen many iconic personalities rocking these day to night effortlessly. This nail design is all things colorful and has animal prints, symbols, solids, and signs all over so you cannot miss anything out there.

If the above one is too much for your personality, go for these colorful french manicures that are also something fun and playful. You can add any cartoon, doodles, signs, or anything you have in mind on your tips and ta-da you are done.
