Sweater nail art is winter’s coziest trend — cable-knit textures that look like your favorite sweater, miniaturized.
The technique: 3D gel or acrylic paint creating raised knit patterns over a cozy base color. The result is touchably textured.
These 15 designs bring hygge to your hands.
Here’s your knit collection. Let’s get into it.
