Instagram is Going Crazy For “The Lion King” Inspired Nails

The highly-anticipated live-action remake of Disney’s classic The Lion King finally found its way to the theaters and movie-goers aren’t the only ones going crazy over it. Nail artists are putting their own spin on the beloved animated classic, and we’re 100% here for this emerging trend.

Manis inspired by our favorite cartoons have been around for a while, but the interest for The Lion King really surged in the last few months. Combinations of orange and yellow tones are the most popular option on the market, but this trend leaves room for experiments.

If you think that drawing your favorite characters on your nails seems like a bit too much, this isn’t the only way to embrace this trend. You can tone things down by adding safaris, sunsets, and other tropical elements to the mix.

Unfortunately, this isn’t one of those trends any amateur can easily pull off in the comfort of their own home. Having the perfect Lion King-inspired mani requires a lot of patience and a steady han, and only nail artists with a knack for drawing can give you what you’re looking for.
