Also, the best way to fight manicure boredom is to switch up the nail designs every week. It doesn’t have to be an expensive trip to your favourite nail studio. Some of these can be achieved at home with some simple nail products. On that note, it’s time to be inspired!
3D Nail Art
Every celebrity it-girl wears this groovy nail design on a night out. Think Bella Hadid or Dua Lipa. This multi-dimensional makeover comes with a little bit of texture and whole lot of attitude. To try this at home, NYC-based stylist, Naomi Yasuda recommends to use IBD hard gel as they are durable and easy to make shapes with.
Hot Pink Nails
The Pantone colour for 2023 is viva magenta—a twin for hot pinks! In addition to that, this flamboyant shade of pink is also a popular factor amond fashion houses such as Valentino. Don’t you think this vibrant hue somehow complements with most colours? And an interesting way to don this trend is applying it in a gradient style. Also, Greta’s new Barbie movie definitely had an effect on this design.
Metallic Nails
Chrome, futuristic nails are quite a modern blessing to the nail industry. It’s refreshing and so-very versatile. You could keep it during all different kinds of Summer beach activities and let it add a glossy appeal to everything you wear.
Milky Nails
They stand somewhere between white and dusty pink. Quite a chic sheer moment for those who love to keep it simple and minimalistic. The best part? This is one of the trending nail designs for 2023 that will remain relevant always. Make sure to ask your nail expert for shade that suits your skin tone. Warmer skin tones may need more of pink undertones than white. Vice versa.
Airbrush Nails
Ombre nails have a sister and it’s this one. Airbrush nails used to be very popular back in the day, think early 2000s. And now it’s having its combeback with modern twists like embellishments and funky shade combinations. If you’re working these nails from the comfort of your home, we suggest you use gel paint and a hand held airbrush spray.
Vampire Red
Think red, not any red, the one that connects you to anything vampire related. It’s deep, dark and bright. It’s familiar and timeless but since the neutrals were more popular lately, these bold nails have been quiet but not anymore! And it looks best and classy when done in gel.
Neon French Tips
French tips aren’t going anywhere, what’s more exciting is that every season, there’s a hotter version of this nail version. For this coming Summer, we are imagining French tips to be popping with neon hues. What’s more? Not just in one shade but with many!
Preppy Patterns
Want to jazz up your life with a risky hairstyle? We would say to go for these trending nail designs.Think of stripes, checkers, gingham, stars, hearts and a little bit of disco. The preppy nails are cute and a definite cosmopolitan choice. Especially on days when you want to throw in a little bit of excitement.
Ultra-chic Abstract Nails
Trending nail designs with abstract patterns have always been around. What makes this a hot choice for 2023? It’s the modernising with elements that are most-sought. Usually, they are better over a natural base and cute elements. Having said that, don’t let your imagination stop there. Experiment with pastels, new-age symobols and more!
Bejeweled Nails
We have been heavily influenced by Beyonce’s Superbowl bodysuit and the latest bejeweled music video by none other than Taylor Swift, so the jewel encrusted nails are no surprise. You could go all out with many crystals or keep it simple. When you’re out and about in the sun, people may mistake you for a fairy as you nails are going to be glittering.
Pop Art Nails
They are comic-book inspired and seamlessly match your swimsuits. These are 3D nails drawn on your nails to mimic the artistic apeal of cartoons. You can easily keep it simple with a few lines or go extra by bringing your favourite comic to life. You can experiment this with a mix of bold and neutral shades. And nail experts recommend using a thin nail brush such as Beaute Galleria 12MM Nail Art Brush.
Glazed Tips
The glazed look has the whole of beauty industry in a chokehold. It’s natural but with a glossy pearly effect. You could either get this on your whole nail or stick to a stunning tip work. It’s highly versatile as it will help you transition from work to pool party smoothly.
Beautiful Baby Blues
Another minimalistic colour combo with a striking yet subtle hue, the baby blue. It compliments any skin tones and look amazingly modern when worn as a French tip. You’d love it whenever, wherever you are!
Trending Summer Nails with Words
Talk about quoting on nails (no pun intended). If you’re obsessed with a phrase that you are looking to flaunt this Summer, start with your nails. Whenver, you’re not in the mood, all you need to do is show them the finger! (for legal purposes, we meant in a cute way haha.)
Emoji Nails
If you’re a digital person, you will appreciate this! It’s slighly reminscent of the early 2000s MTV era. If you’re packing for a fun Summer vacay, add this to your prepping list. Try to go for a cohesive colour palette so you can look bold and appealing at the same time.
Statement Nail Piercings
Got to make a heavy statement? Piercing on long artificial nails is quite a beauty moment. It’s made for special occasions such as wedding, engagement or even a beach bachelorette party. Also, if it’s your first time, we suggest you keep the base simple and glowy.
Confetti Nails
What’s a better time than Summer to don confetti on a regular day? You could walk around in colourful outfits with equally flatttering sparkles of colour. This works on any nail length. Stick to hues that flatter the regular outfits you wear, this way you could avoid any clashing. Also, this is quite subtle and can be worn for work! That’s a win-win!
Goth Nails
What’s more riverting than darker shades for Summer? We may have Netflix’s Wednesday to blame partly but thank mostly. It may be quite on the contrary but that’s what makes nails and life exciting. Isn’t it? For a little bit of pizzazz, we suggest you go for a glossy finish or/and place colourful stones in it.
