Retro nail art doesn't mean you have to dress head-to-toe in vintage clothing. Here are some tips for making your retro nails work with modern fashion:
1. Choose one retro element: If you're sporting bold, colorful retro nails, keep the rest of your accessories simple and modern.
2. Match your cute nails to an accent piece: Let your retro nails complement a vintage-inspired handbag or piece of jewelry.
3. Play with contrasts: Pair soft, pastel retro nails with edgy, contemporary outfits for an interesting juxtaposition.
