With the rising temperatures officially signalling the arrival of summertime, ice cream trucks and melting cones will surely be around the corner. While you may be tempted to avoid the essential frozen dessert with your summer body goals in mind, you can always bring the look of ice cream to your fingertips.

Staying true to the spirit of summer, ice cream nails are now making a splash on Instagram. The latest manicure trend of 2016 is inspired by the dairy treat, and features a variety of pastel hues. In fact, beauty addicts are painting their fingernails to represent mint chocolate chip, strawberry and sprinkle ice cream flavours.

While an ice cream mani may seem outlandish at first, these playful tips are quite tame when compared to the recent trend of pom-pom nails. If you’re heading to a family barbecue or spending your evening on a rooftop patio, we can certainly see ice cream inspired talons causing a sensation.

For sugar addicts who are ready to “scream for ice cream”, here’s a closer look at this sweet and youthful manicure fad. If you’re still preparing for summertime beauty, ice cream nails just may be a trend to try now.
