"Skittles Nails" is a trend that's been popping up on the Makeup Alley Nail Board. Partially inspired by our constant multi-colored swatching of new nail polishes and also by the Zoya Candy collection, this look is for the bold and whimsical.
I've seen it done on toes and I think it's totally fun for summer. The look I'm sporting below is using 5 of the 6 Candy shades; (thumb to pinkie) Sweet, Yummy, Creamy, Tangy and Juicy.
So, what do you think? Over the top? Fun and fashion forward? The look of a psych ward patient? Let's hear what you have to say.

In my opinion (maybe I am too old-fashioned) I don't like the trend of multi-colored nails. I just don't find it attractive.
You're not old fashioned, it's just not your taste. I respect that. There were plenty of people that hated the black trend last winter, it doesn't mean they're out of style.
a little like a tween trend to me ...
I like it as a fun, casual pedi look. In fact I've sported the look on my toes this summer once already. However, I'm not a fan of it as a mani.
Anon - I agree, I'm more of a fan of it on toes as well. I think you can get away with bolder looks on your feet than hands. I just did a mani as an example of the look.
I also think I like it better for a pedi. With summer coming up in the Southern hemisphere I might just try it out!
I think it's cute, but waaaaay too Dexter. I don't want to be bled out and carved up by a serial killer tyvm! LOL! Seriously, though, I probably would do it if I wasn't so lazy.
Definitely a cute pedi -- although I'm still not sold on yellow varnish!
OMG Trina, how could I forget about Dexter? When you put it in that context, it is a creepy mani. LOL
I love the colors separately, but I'm not a fan of a different one on every nail. Maybe one fun color on fingers, one fun color on toes.
Several months ago I was doing some swatching then ran to see a new Dr. She noticed the different colors (and only on one hand) right away. She told me that when she was a girl living in India, it was very popular to paint only one hand. I was slightly less popular to paint all the nails different colors, but it was done. Something I found interesting and thought I'd share. :)
wow bright and summery. i have a yellow like that on my toes and i get compliments all of the time from guys and girls alike =) it has been fun!
