14 of the Best Nail Art Accounts to Follow on Instagram
It’s not uncommon these days to be Insta-obsessed. Surpassing blogs, Instagram has, after all, become the top social media platform to turn to for… well, just about anything. And your weekly mani inspiration is no exception! From the brands you swear by to the most avant-garde nail artists, there are plenty of brilliant nail accounts to follow. The next time you’re stumped for mani inspiration, look no further than these 14 Instagram accounts that keep the good nail vibes coming.
1. TopCoat: Probably our favorite nail peops in all the land come out of TopCoat. Let’s just say that there’s a reason Alexis Bittar, SoulCycle and San Francisco’s Asian Art Museum commission them to do work: They truly are artists and their photo feed is there to prove it. (via teamtopcoat)
2. Essie: A tried-and-true favorite, Essie is a must-follow on Instagram for obvious reasons. Expect an impeccably curated feed spotlighting colors from the Summer 2014 collection (like “Roarrrrange” and “Ruffles and Feathers”), re-posts from users showcasing their #essielook and the prettiest color stories.
