Everyone is Talking About These Nail Trends
Classic Red

I know this isn’t one of the more groundbreaking nail trends, but it’s worth admiring the everlasting beauty that is the classic red nail. Regardless of your style or the season, the red nail theory holds true and continues to be one of the flattering manicures of choice. For the ultimate, long-lasting red nail routine, I have been gravitating towards Essie’s Bubbles Only, along with their cuticle oil and the To The Rescue Nail Strengthener.
Micro French Tip
While the classic French manicure will always be timeless, there’s a new version in town: the micro French tip. Essentially the same concept, but with a much smaller tip. The result? A sleek, minimal take on the traditional style that feels way more modern. If you aren’t skilled in the nail art department, don’t worry! Opt for a nail pen that makes it much easier to achieve those small details.
Chrome
Believe it or not, even though this style looks super complex, you can totally do your own chrome mani at home. Whether you’re going for a solid polish or something more intricate, just add a layer of chrome powder on top, and it instantly takes your nails to the next level. Plus, the shine you get from chrome powder is so chic and will have you catching all the light.
Soap Nails
On the other hand, you can take things back to the basics. Those in favor of the clean aesthetic will have no trouble leaning into the soap nails trend. Think sheer nude or slightly pink nails that look incredibly natural. Although some may deem this look boring, I firmly believe soap nails are superior because they match with absolutely anything.
3D Texture
At the end of the day, your nails are like tiny canvases just begging to be painted. If you are up for embarking on a creative endeavor, jump on the 3D nail trend. Everything from textured abstract design to bow charms to pearls make for unique adornments. If you love the look of more avant garde nails, use builder gel to achieve different shapes. However, stickers and nail glue work just as well!
Pastels
Fashion and beauty go hand in hand, and this year’s nail trends are proof. With spring on the horizon, we’re all gearing up for a pastel takeover. Baby pink, butter yellow, and soft blue are dominating everything from dresses to tops… and they look just as dreamy on your nails. Whether you opt for a solid wash of color or a fun pastel design, these soft hues will instantly brighten your look.
