Colourful French Tip Nails
The classic french tips have undergone a colourful transformation. Think Sarah Hyland’s moody french manicure at the Critics Choice Award or J.Lo’s sparkly french. Move over basic whites and paint those tips in a colour of your choice. Personally, I love a good french tip manicure, so this trend is one I’m surely experimenting with this one for my next outing.

Galaxy Nails
Spotted on Camila Cabello’s nails, this manicure looks out of this world (literally!) This outer space inspired trend has been spotted on more celebrities than I can remember. Stick to a dark base with metallic hues of blues, greens, and purples, or have a light coloured base and top it off with metallic tones to replicate Rachel Zegler’s intergalactic fairy nails.

Bejewelled Nails
Remember when Megan Fox sported that bejewelled cross over a metallic base on her nails for the Grammys? Yes! Rhinestones and diamonds are not just limited to eye makeup anymore. Sport ‘em on your nails too over a solid colour base. Keeping it subtle? Then stick to delicate rhinestone studded designs, or go OTT with pearls and diamonds.
