Coffee Day Nails Ideas
Latte Nail Art
Did you know that National Coffee Day started about 20 years ago? A food and beverage museum in New Orleans started the trend to celebrate their Coffee Festival. Although this beverage is popular around the world, Americans drink more of it than any other country. Some estimates say the average person in the USA has 2.7 cups per day for a total of 140 billion cups per year.
Moreover, International Coffee Day is celebrated worldwide on October 1. But that doesn’t even count the random dates when various nations honor the drink throughout the year. For example, Portugal marks Coffee Day on April 14, and they acknowledge the international date six months later. That’s not surprising as coffee is extremely important in this tiny country. There’s even one coffee shop for every 160 residents, more than any place in the world. However, when the typical Portuguese coffee shop serves up tiny cups of espresso, you won’t see decorations like this. For them, the flavor and the price are more important than the latte art.

3D Coffee Bean Nails
Coffee beans are actually seeds from inside the “coffee berry”, a fruit that grows at high elevations near the equator. Conditions have to be just right to produce it. You can see an impressively accurate representation of the beans and the plant’s flower on the nails below.
There are four types of coffee, but just two kinds are the most widely grown. About 60% of the world’s coffee is Arabica and nearly 40% is Robusta, which has more caffeine. But keep in mind that the way the beans are roasted and ground also affects the caffeine level.
The biggest exporters of coffee are Brazil, Ethiopia, Vietnam, and Colombia. However, coffee producers in each of these nations are dealing with challenges right now. The climate is changing, with rising temperatures, drought, and unpredictable weather making it harder to grow coffee. All we can say is treasure every drop.
Cappuccino Nails
Top your dose of caffeine with steamed milk and stir. That’s what these brown marbled nails remind us of. There are endless ways to serve coffee just like there are infinite ways to do coffee nail art.
Just like blooming gel makes it easy to create marbled nails, milk makes it possible to create lattes, cappuccinos, macchiatos, café au lait, and even an affogato with ice cream.
By the way, did you know that latte is the most popular coffee drink? The basic recipe is a shot of espresso with steamed milk and a bit of foam on top. However, there are many ways to dress it up, like pumpkin spice, chocolate syrup, caramel, or vanilla.

Irish Whiskey Nails
If you take black coffee, add whiskey, sugar, and whipped cream, it becomes an Irish coffee. You can translate that into nail art with jelly polish and airbrushed tips.
While we’re on the topic of uncommon brews, have you heard about the Nitro? It’s an extra cold and frothy coffee made with liquid nitrogen. Furthermore, someone even found a way to blend rum, tea, and ice coffee into a beverage called a Mazagran. Don’t be surprised if it comes served with a slice of lemon.

Nail Art for Coffee Fans
Whether you love it plain black, flat white, or something in between, be sure to celebrate National Coffee Day to the fullest with your favorite beverage. If you really stan coffee, show your love with a manicure like this.
Rich Roasted Coffee Glitter Nails
Have you ever had Turkish coffee? It’s an unforgettable experience. First, the beans are ground to a fine powder. Then it’s boiled with sugar in a special pot. As soon as it begins to froth, it’s removed from the burner and poured. However, sometimes it’s put back on the fire and re-boiled to increase the amount of foam, then served.
If you go to a very traditional Turkish coffeehouse, you might even see the teapot placed in a pan of sand that’s heated over an open flame. And if you’re lucky, the Turkish coffee is flavored with spices, just like these nails have glitter accents.
Caramel Macchiato Nails
Have you ever had caramel in your coffee? Although you can put the sweet syrup in your beverage, you can also find coffee blends that smell or taste like caramel all on their own. For example, Columbian coffee has a caramel aroma, and some types of Guatemalan coffee do too.
These color blocked coffee nails remind us of Frappuccino because of the hard gel water droplets on top.

Glazed Coffee Nails
Do you brew your own coffee at home or pick it up at a shop? Coffee aficionados say that the French press makes the perfect cup of coffee and it’s straightforward to use. Once you add the ground beans and pour boiling water over the top, all you have to do is wait a few minutes then press the plunger down.
However, many Americans are familiar with the percolator that bubbles hot water through the ground coffee. This device is so versatile it can even be used over a campfire. Or there’s the drip coffee maker if you have the patience to wait for it to fill your cup.
More often now, people are using single serve coffee makers at home. Plus, cold brew coffee machines let you keep the coffee fresh for up to 36 hours and that cuts down on waste.
No matter what kind of coffee you love to drink, we hope you can always enjoy this incredible beverage the way you love it most.
