Social media ushers in another trend we cannot resist. Coquette manicure is the sweet girly aesthetic we need on our fingertips.

Coquette Manicure

The coquette aesthetic, inspired by classic ballet and regency-era fashion, blends softness with vintage elegance and cottagecore vibes. Despite its popularity, some critique its associations with the "Lolita" aesthetic and limited representation. However, many see it as a way to reclaim girlhood, empowering all individuals to embrace their authentic selves. This trend has surged on social media, showcasing its romantic, playful essence through dainty dresses and dreamy silhouettes.

The coquette manicure trend, inspired by the flirty and feminine coquette aesthetic, is all the rage on various platforms of social media. These nails are the epitome of cuteness, featuring playful designs like cherries, bows, and more.
