French nails are elegant and classy, perfect for working ladies! Instead of the usual pale pink and white combination, let your creativity run wild by using other colors (but still keeping the same technique) to achieve something more modern. Glitter and pastel tips are some of the more popular French nail designs.

First popularized by Unistella Nails nail artist Park Eunkyung, the unusually shaped nails are filed at an asymmetrical angle to achieve a tilt reminiscent of a lipstick bullet. Lipstick nails have a unique shape that makes it feel like you have short and long nails all in one. Many Korean celebrities also have these trendy nails, so this is an option to consider if you’re looking to try something different with your next manicure!

The crushed seashell design also known as Mother of Pearl is mesmerizing because of its smooth and shiny appearance! It is a truly elegant nail art that will complement your outfit. We recommend pairing this nail design with brighter colors like pastel blue, white, pastel pink, lilac, and gray for an ethereal feel.

From Rihanna’s jade marble nails to other marble nail designs, this nail trend is definitely one that isn’t going away anytime soon. We love the versatility of marble nail designs as it can be paired with almost any color to create stunning swirls. Choose brighter colors like pink to create a fairy-tale nail design or darker colors like black and blue to create a sense of mystery and charm.

If you think pearls are outdated, think again! When done right, it will add a cute look and vintage feel to your nails. The trick is to use large pearls sparingly and seek out smaller pearls. You’ll want to attach those small pearls near the cuticle or around the edges of the entire nail, and only one small pearl on the nail if using a large pearl.
