Our next nail look is incredibly stylish but so simple. You could easily do this yourself and with any color that you choose. The sharp lines somehow give your nails a more pointed and elegant look, even though it’s simply a diagonal line in the middle of your nails. If you feel like this look needs a little more, paint the other side of your nails another color!
If we’re talking about a french mani with a twist, this look certainly gives you that! It’s fun, flirty, and just what your nails need to look extra special. Sure, a classic french manicure is great, but there’s nothing wrong with having a little fun with colors. Go with rainbow colors like pictured below, or pick one or two that really stand out to you. Have fun with this look!
There’s never a wrong time to rock some pastel-colored nails no matter what time of year it is. This trend might not necessarily be a new one, but it’s definitely in for 2020. Plus, the color options are seemingly endless and you don’t need any extra decals for this look. It’s beautiful on its own!
Go to the dark side with these elegant dark green nails! I feel like there’s been a little apprehension in the past when it comes to dark-colored nails, but this trend is certainly coming back. Jazz it up a bit with some half-painted nails like in the picture, or just go full-on green. This emerald green color would be stunning on all skin tones and nail shapes!
Say hello to these cute and funky swirl nails! If you’re tired of the same old same old when it comes to nail designs, this look is definitely a great option and is super trendy. It’s bold but not too bold and is perfect for when you just want to spice things up with your nails. Go with a bright red, or go for a more subtle swirl color. It’s all up to you!
Never underestimate the power of a simple accent line. Your super clean and freshly-painted nails are beautiful on their own, of course, but what if you added something more? This simple accent line takes your nails from just okay to super trendy just like that! So, next time your nails need just a little bit more to them, go for an accent line!
Our next stylish nail look is just iconic. If you’re a lover of animal print clothes, why not also extend that to your nails? But, not in full force of course. These stunning nails are half nude and half cheetah print, something I wouldn’t really imagine working that well, but don’t knock it ’til you try it! The neutral colors will go with any outfit you might have and will have all your friends complimenting your nails!
If painting your nails completely gold is just a little too bold for you, I have a solution. This trendy gold accent nail look is great for that subtle flex but is also just simply stunning.
