Trends are ever ongoing, never ceasing for a moment’s notice or to allow you to get up to speed. You’re either in, or you’re not.
While things may have moved at a slower pace during the last two years, nail trends continued to thrive and evolve. A pandemic, try as it might, was not powerful enough to stop the acrylic lovers and beauty hacks from getting their nails done.
If you’re into the whole getting your nails done thing, what’s popular today won’t be news to you. But if you’re not, and you’re looking to venture into that aspect of glam and glitter, then jumping onto the trend wave might help you adjust.
So what’s popular today?
Some nail designs are for the ages. No matter what year, or decade we’re in, trends like French tips, unique accent fingers and the overzealous white toes are part of the in crowd. But the newcomers are making a name for themselves, and every week there’s something new to try.
French tips, but make it colourful
We’ve seen the colourful, altered kid on the block that may or may not have originated from our oldie goldie, the French tips. Bright and youthful, the colorful tips are at the top of the list of what everyone’s getting.
Animal print
Leopards and zebras are popular in fashion. We’ve been wearing stripes and spots for years, but nail technicians have made it an even bigger topic of conversation. Moderation is the safest bet; too much of one thing is never a good idea, but to those who can safely pull off a full acrylic animal print? Paws off to you!
3D sets
Everyone’s gone 3D now! Gems and flowers are the most popular addition to acrylic nails. They complete a certain type of look that’s hard to miss, and even harder to not love. While it’s not for everyone, the boldness of it is what we love most about this set.
Glow in the dark
They’re low key gorgeous in the day and then hard to take your eyes off when the lights turn down. They’re definitely a youthful design, meant to attract attention when needed. If you’re looking for a wow factor, you might just want to glow in the dark!
Ombré
They come in colour or they come in nude but they’re subtle and classy in any form. It’s more of a laid back, soft design that you might miss on the first look but it makes choosing what to get so much easier!
Popular trends change by the day, and what’s unpopular today might be the next big thing tomorrow. Nail trends fluctuate, sure, but there are definitely some OG designs that’ll never get old.
