37 90s-Inspired Nail Designs That Bring Nostalgia

With the rise of the playful y2k aesthetic, colorful 90s nails are back too, baby.

Whether you’re feeling nostalgic about your favorite cartoons when you were a child, or you want to revisit popular trends from back-in-the-day, we’ve gathered all the most amazing 90s nails with fun themes into one post.

On the one side, the 90s have become famous for their grunge aesthetic, which started out as anti-fashion but has now become a style in its own right.

However, the 90s are equally well known for many iconic pop-culture shows like Friends, Rugrats, and Hey Arnold. Plus, funky 70s fashion was back in again, which meant brightly colored clothing was majorly in style, which contrasted the grunge aesthetic quite a bit.

In this post, we’re going to be exploring the colorful side of 90s inspired nails, but if you’re after edgy, grunge-inspired nails, you might want to check out our favorite gothic nails instead!

All of these nails that we’ve featured are actually press-on nails, which means you can shop them directly from Etsy from the links provided. Alternatively, you can save your favorite designs on your phone, and recreate the look in your favorite salon instead.

Let’s get started, shall we?
