8 Cute Nail Ideas That Are On-Trend
Perf For Minimalists
Looking for a throwback trend? Well, humble the french manicure from the 90s is back and thriving. Celebs such as Rosie Huntington Whiteley and Gigi Hadid have been rocking it recently. Wear it subtly with a white tip or try the on-trend ombre iteration for a more fashion-forward vibe.
For An On-Trend Look
High-shine molten metals are legit one of the biggest trends to look out for in 2021. And you needn’t stick to one. Instead, mix and match silvers, golds, and chromes. This style is super versatile and gives the freedom to experiment with different shapes. Think squiggles, stars, french, ombre, and flames.
Muted Opulence
Muted yet opulent hues are going to be big this season. For instance, instead of a bright fuchsia, swap in a rich berry-ish shade. It’s warmer and more inviting, yet still eye-catching. So if you are looking for a fuss-free way to elevate your look, this is the mani to call on.
The Glamorous Iteration
It’s time to take cues from our jewellery. Gems like opal and crystals have been the inspiration behind this pretty manicure trend. The best bit? It will team up really well with both ethnic and western wear, and will instantly elevate your style quotient.
Sugar Plum Pink FTW!
As for shades, soft sugar plums and delicate lilacs are the pastels to get behind this year. They’re pretty, and it’s an amp up from the ice-cream shades that dominated the beauty world the previous season.
Nudes To Turn Heads
There are some classic nude nails that come around every season because they are super easy to wear and complement every length and shape. This one is no exception. You can wear your nude darker and more saturated during the cooler months and leave them more peach and pink tones for the summer.
For A Fashion-Forward Look
Negative space nail art never seems to go away, and it’s really simple to DIY since errors can easily be corrected with a quick swipe of clean-up brush drenched in acetone. Plus, it is easy to play with various colours. This season, try mixing classics like black and white with dark festive tones for a brighter variation.
To Instantly Elevate Your Style
Colour block shapes with a lot of negative spaces look great with rich yet muted autumnal hues. You can easily freehand it using a long striper brush. But that takes a lot of time, steady hands, and practice. Using a tape that’s cut to different pieces and shapes will also do the trick.
