Y2K Frutiger Metro nails!

Cause it's easy once you know how it's done/You can't stop now/It's already begun/You feel it runnin' through your bones/And you jerk it out – "Jerk It Out" by The Caesars, 2003

I was starting to get kind of bored with the grunge nail sets, so I wanted to pivot and do something a little different this week. I wasn't sure what to do at first, but I finally got an idea for this set after revisiting some frutiger metro playlists and Y2K aesthetics in general.

This set took ~2.5 hours, and I'm SO happy with how it turned out; it feels so 2000s! 😭💕 I don't have a ton of bright colors in my collection, so I had to borrow one from someone else's for this set, but I'm definitely planning to buy some brighter colors to do more sets like this.
