Summer 2025’s hottest beauty trend is making a splash literally. “Fisherman Core” nails are the unexpected, whimsical vibe dominating the season, and we’re hooked. Inspired by fishing lures, childhood summers, and all things aquatic, this trend is bold, bright, and packed with personality.

Think press-ons that look like shiny bait, magnetic polish that mimics fish scales, and lure-inspired color palettes pink, purple, chrome, and high-shine yellow. Nail artists like Cameron Short (aka Really Niche Nails) and Hang Nguyen (The Hang Edit) are leading the wave, creating wearable art that’s part nostalgia, part fashion fantasy.

It’s playful, it’s weird (in a good way), and it’s exactly the kind of beauty moment that makes you stop scrolling. Perfect for poolside cocktails, festival fits, or just living your mermaid-core dreams.

This summer? It’s bait, but make it fashion.
