Emilio Pucci created one of the most instantly recognizable signature aesthetics of all time. The Italian fashion house is beloved for its abstract swirls in vibrant, contrasting colors. So it’s no wonder that after decades of popularity across swimsuits, sundresses, and scarves, the signature print has made its way to our manicures for a budget-friendly twist. Ideal for a resort getaway, a summer refresh, or any time you need a dopamine boost, the vivid patterns are instant attention-grabbers. Ahead, check out 15 Pucci nail ideas to try for an unforgettable mani, encompassing bold rainbows, unexpected neutrals, and everything in between.
