Style Trends

Try different styles to shake up your manicure. Milky colors allow a slight shadow of your natural nail to be seen through the polish. Adding an accent nail of a different color or sheen adds fun detail. Top an opaque color with a subtle chrome layer to make your nails glossy and slightly iridescent. Try a French manicure with a twist—a barely there French with very thin, fine white or colored tips. Rather than an abrupt color transition on your French manicure, blend the colors gradually to create an ombre look. Reverse either style to mix it up even more.

From rhinestones and nail piercings to experimenting with matte and gloss topcoats, adding accents and embellishments maintains popularity. Whether you want hand-drawn designs, patterns that depict your favorite fabric, stickers, nail jewels, or something new, 3-D nail art provides a lot of flexibility. Nails are truly customizable, and whether you go for minimalistic basics or bright, bold patterns, your nail art can be as subtle or as attention-grabbing as you want.
