Say goodbye to a classic solid manicure, and hello to a season of wild and colorful nail trends! From updated french manicures to quirky nail art like ying yangs and cow print, go bold with your manicure and try out some of these fabulous new designs. As someone who got a french manicure every 2 weeks from 4th grade through high school, I have to say I’m beyond thrilled to see the return of the classic style – and with so many fun twists! My current favorite is definitely the flower trend, and I am loving the feminine vibes paired with the lavender.
The best part about this season’s nail trend is you can literally do ANYTHING with your nails and look chic. The bolder the better. Swirls? Go for it. Splattered paint? Why not. Butterflies and rainbows? Awesome. Get creative and have fun with it!
During quarantine, I was a huge fan of press-on nails since we couldn’t go to the salon (read all about it here), so if you’re interested in trying out some of these new trends without the 1-2 commitment of a manicure, check out some of our favorite press-on nails below to get the look and head over to our post for tips on how to apply them and last all week!
Today we’re excited to share some of our favorite nail trends below and styles we can’t wait to try! Keep scrolling to see some of our favorites and let us know your favorites in the comments below!

COLORED TIPS
I am obsessed with colored tips this season! I tried the pink colorblock mani for my trip to 30A and it was so fun. If you’re ever wanted a bold nail color but like to keep it subtle, this trend is for you.
