Retro means simply a recycling of the recent past via art and aesthetics. A remembering of past cultural efforts is encouraged by retro designs. With this in mind, a retro nail could do so much!
Take a retro 70’s print, something curvaceous and trippy, and transform it into a groovy nail pattern.
This can be jaw dropping and unique. It can enhance a vintage look or vibe. It can be very fun to play with the color pallets of the 70’s with its beiges, browns, muted greens and rustic oranges.
Or consider the 1950’s retro era. This era is most popular when thinking of retro styles.
With bold shapes, broad line strokes, dots and more, the 1950’s is the most retro sapped of them all!
These nail designs may be poppy and fun. Bright colors truly dominate the 1950’s pallet, making these nails spectacular works of art. They evoke the developing pop culture of the time.
From Andy Warhol to Roy Lichtenstein, some retro nail designs even play with specific works of art. Throw a Warhol banana on anything and you have a cool and edgy look on your hands.
You can see pop culture at work when you use an artist of this time to influence your nail art.
If you like swing dancing or Rockabilly culture, enhance this look with a retro nail design masterpiece.
Some retro designs play with comic book imagery, architecture, travel posters, wall art and print pieces. The retro color palette can feel old, but should also be fun and colorful to evoke the optimism of the past.
