7 PRETTY NAIL TRENDS TO TRY THIS SPRING
It's easy to get caught in a cycle of choosing the same manicure colors, shapes, and styles at every nail appointment. If you're ready to break the routine and try something new, consider going with one of 2022's best nail trends.
Glazed Donut Nails
Chances are, you've seen or heard of this major manicure moment. The shimmery, iridescent style has gone viral all summer on nearly every social media platform for its simplicity and elegance. If you love a low-key manicure that still feels on-trend and stylish, you can't go wrong with this option.
2. Barbiecore
If you've been seeing an influx of hot pink, well, everywhere, there's a reason. In honor of the new Barbie movie set to come out next summer, the bright hue is having its time in the limelight. However, if you're not into pink, Sonya Belakhlef, a celebrity nail artist, says the trend is more about bright colors than a specific hue. "Most people think of Barbiecore as bright pink, but I see it as any bright neon shades, from highlighter greens and yellows to bright oranges and corals," they say. "The best part of Barbiecore is that these shades are universal and complement any skin tone, so anyone can rock it." It also doesnβt require any fancy nail art or techniques, just a pigmented and bright neon shade.
3. Blue Nail Polish
"Always a favorite, we won't see bright blue going anywhere anytime soon," predicts Rachel Apfel Glass, founder of GLOSSLAB. "The classic shade will carry us well into the new year and early spring, so if you haven't tried it yet you must. Pastels also feel warm and can brighten any mood."
4.Matte Topcoats
You don't need a specific color or nail shape to make a statement. "Adding a matte topcoat on top of any shade has a transformative effect," agrees Remark. "Over metallic, it looks steel. Over cream, it looks velvet. Over pearl, satin. This finish will be trending all year."
5.Short Square Nails in Bold
"Short square nails in bold colors aren't going anywhere anytime soon," says Reynosa. It's the perfect look for those who want to hold on to summer just a little bit longer.
6. Naked Nails
Focusing on nail care and that "plain natural summer nail" look is a classic that will never go out of style, says Hinckson. "A lot of girls are just really rocking that naturalist swag." To recreate this trend, opt for a clear top coat or a sheer neutral color for a complete, professional look.
7. Classic French Manicure
"I cannot believe I'm saying this, but I think the classic French manicure will come back," says Hinckson. Like all '90s and Y2K trends that have made a resurgence as of late, it comes as no surprise that these white tips will also take center stage this year and beyond.
