As we prepare for the wave of clients searching for a set of nails for festival season, it’s crucial that your salon is prepared and trained in numerous festival nail styles to satisfy your client’s desires.

Festival nail trends have gained significant importance in recent years as they have become an integral part of the overall festival fashion and beauty experience.

Festivals are all about self-expression and individuality, and nail art provides a unique and creative way for people to express themselves. Festival-goers can use their nails as a canvas to showcase their personality, style, and artistic flair, and as a professional, you need to be capitalising on this. From bold and vibrant designs to intricate patterns and glittery accents, offering a range of festival nail trends will allow you to stand out from the crowd in what is a competitive industry.

In this exclusive Create This Style, nail art expert, Tara Holloway, has opted to provide a demonstration of a nudeinspired, timeless nail design, making for the perfect choice for a plethora of clients who are stuck for inspiration. In the easy-to-follow steps below, Tara reveals how you can achieve this celestial nail art look, one which is guaranteed to be a hit with your client base this festival season!

Step one

For this look I have used full cover nail tips as they allow for more nail space to play with. To manually prep the nails, I have used the Personality Tools range: The 5 in 1 Multi Tool and the Reliable Nippers.

Step four

To seal the stickers on to the nail, I used TWENTY’s Glass Top Coat. Choose a top coat that has a super glossy shine for a premium finish.

Step two

To apply the nail extension, I use the Aprés Gel-X™ soft gel nail extension system. I size up the gel to the nail and then apply the nail tip to the nail bed. To paint the nail, I have used TWENTY gel polish in the shade base coat. After, in order to add that slight tint of nude colour, I have applied two coats of TWENTY gel polish, in the shade I Do.

Step three

To create the star embellishment detailing, I used gold star stickers. This step is your chance to get creative and use different sticker styles. I placed the small stickers in a scattered pattern. Make sure you press down each sticker flat to the nail.

Step five

Always complete your set with aftercare to elevate the client experience. To hydrate my client’s nails, I use the No.1 Cuticle Oil from Nail Therapy By Dee, it has a gorgeous smell of Oud and Tonka Bean.

Step six

The end result is a gorgeous nude, celestial festival styled set of nails. Make sure to capture some content to share your creation with your followers on Instagram. Just add jewellery, and your clients are ready to party!
