Women are constantly looking for new innovative ideas to incorporate into their beauty routine. It doesn’t matter if it’s about hair, makeup or nails, if you are like us, you want to keep up with the latest trends. Aside from the metallic and chrome nails that took over Instagram in 2017, there is one other shiny nail art you’ll love.

In the last few months of 2017, glitter was a trending topic in makeup, nail art, and clothing. You might think that glitter is related to the holiday season. Anyway, we are happy to say that the shiny nail trend will be still going strong in the new year. So the next time you are in doubt whether to rock a little extra sparkle, don’t think twice. If you want to upgrade your manicure game, holographic nails are the most in-demand nail design at the moment.

Now we are finally ready to take the glitter game to a whole new level. Holographic nails became such a big hit just recently. They are real refreshment in the beauty world. Another great thing to know is that you don’t always have to visit a professional to get this nail art done. There are many holographic nail polishes available that you can get and experiment with colors and patterns. At salons, they usually use special powders to achieve the shiny effect.

The options are very diverse. The very creative artists on Instagram are constantly posting new pictures of how they played with the sparkling holographic shades. Some ladies prefer their manicure to be done in only one color, while others enjoy having them decorated with prints and patterns.

If you are already bored with all the classic nail art, its time for a change. And what better way to do it than a statement manicure. You don’t have to worry about whether your nails will look like too much. The holographic trend is big everywhere, so the chances are you will see many other girls flaunting it.

You have probably seen those neutral grayish marble nails when scrolling on Pinterest or Instagram. Well, it turns out that marble nails are much more than one uniformed nail design. You don’t have to do any research because we did it all for you. We are on a mission to prove you that marble nails are one of the most versatile nail design you could get. So we turned the internet upside down and gathered 25 of the most stunning marble nails designs that you might want to consider.

First things first, decide on the finish: matte, glossy, or metallic. Then, decide if you want to go all the way marble or with just do a few nails. You can opt for neutral all-marble nail design if you need something that won’t be too distracting. That’s one of the main reasons why we love marble nails so much – you can get both neutral or attention-grabbing nail design. You can pair marble nails with nude nail polishes to keep things classy and sophisticated. For an effect of surprise go for a color that isn’t that usual for marble. Vibrant colors are a great choice if you want to step out of your comfort zone. Don’t be afraid to try shades of purple, green, turquoise and so on.

Besides the regular marble design, you could ask your nail lady to get creative and take things in an abstract direction. You can achieve this effect by mixing colors or with metallic flakes. Another option is to add glitter to your marble manicure. Your nail lady needs to add glitter first, and then create the marble design on the top. This is a small but very chic detail that will instantly elevate a simple marble nail design.

If you are a nail maniac who likes dramatic nail designs, marble nails will satisfy your cravings for nail glam. Since the marble graphic is subtle by itself, you can level up on glam with 3D embellishments such as dazzling rhinestones. The marble base looks as good as a plain base. If you prefer smaller details go with gold or silver lines over the marble nail design.

One graphic- endless options. Marble nails are the nail design that is never boring. From soft manicures to bold sparky nail designs, marble nails are as versatile as the good old french manicure. Flip through our gallery to discover all your marble options and pin the ones that made your heart skip a beat.

Trends, trends, trends – we can’t get enough of them. Whether is a brand new idea or a comeback from the past decades, fashion obsessives know that the urge to follow the latest trends is a fun thing to do. Of course, you shouldn’t lose yourself in the sea of trends. But the cuticle tattoos that took over Instagram lately can only do good to your style. So, we don’t have had a single argument against these cute little tattoos. This video has 7 of the cutest cuticle tattoos out there that might convince you to test drive this trend.

One of the reasons why we fell for this trend is because everyone can rock it. Rihanna is the queen of bold trends that not many would dare to try. But even the Barbadian singer and style icon is addicted to cuticle tattoos. She was one of the first who sparked this possibly painful trend. We are going to be completely honest, if you want your cuticle tattoos to stay forever, you might experience some pain. Anyway, if you just want to temporary upgrade your manicure, you can get cuticle tattoo nail art stickers. So, you don’t have to be Rihanna to pull this trend off.

As you can see in the video, you don’t have to go with a tattoo on every finger. For a toned-down effect, you can only tattoo one or few fingers. You can also take things in another direction and flaunt something unique and innovative. We love the Saturn-inspired cuticle tattoo seen in the video. This person drew Saturn and six tiny dots on her cuticles. The final result is insanely Instagrammable.

If you are into geometric shapes, you can flaunt the open triangle cuticle tattoos that look super sharp. Pair them with manicures in the similar aesthetic for even bolder effect.

Whether you want to keep it forever or just give it a try, the cuticle nail trend will for sure upgrade the way you take photos of yourself. Admit it – you would show it off on every Instagram snap.

When in doubt, add some texture! Honestly, there are so many reasons to get a textured mani. First of all, you get to constantly touch and endlessly play with the texture on your nails. It’s addictive so don’t tell us that we didn’t warn you. So, let’s talk a bit about your options when it comes to textured nail art.

We are officially in the #babyitscoldoutside season, so make sweater nails your priority. The term explains everything. Besides sweater to keep you warm in this cold weather, you also need sweater nails to match your actual sweaters. This nail technique includes delicately applied gel in a cable pattern shape. If you want to be extra, take your favorite sweater at your nail lady and ask her to dress your nails in the same sweaters. After all, nails deserve a decent sweater in this cold weather. You know the drill from now on – a snap from your matching sweater and nails is a must for Instagram. You can combine this technique with different motifs. Since the holidays are approaching a holiday or winter-inspired nail art would be perfect for this time of the year.

Another option to add texture to your manicure is 3-D nail decorations. Everything from small stones to caviar manicure will add dimension to your nails. If you are a glamorous chic, a nail art that features rhinestone embellishments would be your favorite. There are so many options that is hard to make up your mind on one. You can combine these decorative elements with other nail techniques, spice up a simple mani with them or go full glam and cover your nails with dazzling stones.

For those who think outside of the box, a snakeskin textured manicure might be the best option. The colors don’t necessarily need to match, but the texture has to. Your nail lady needs to shape the gel in a way that will look like snake’s skin. To put all the accent on the texture cover your nails in one color. A shiny black snakeskin mani is bold gals’ favorite. Bonus tip: a stiletto nail shape is the best option for snakeskin textured mani.

You can also add texture to your nails with chunky glitter or regular glitter if you prefer a smoother effect. Glitter is a holiday staple, so now is the right time to flaunt glitter textured nail design. For more inspiration flip through our gallery of textured nail designs and pin your favorite ones for later.

We know that there are holiday-obsessed gals out that impatiently wait for this time of the year. You can finally involve all the cheesy holiday motifs in every segment of your life without being judged. It’s so easy to get trapped in the holiday spirit and get obsessed. Everything from the workplace, the stores to the city is full of Christmas and New Year’s decorations. So, is kind of hard to resist the Holiday season craziness. To add up on that get your nails done in a similar aesthetic. You can do something subtle that doesn’t necessarily scream “HO HO HO it’s that time of the year!” Glitter nail designs are perfect if you want something not that obvious, but still glamorous. Even red and white nail design will let everyone know that you are in the holiday mood. Or you can go the extra mile and celebrate your holiday obsession through your nails in the most obvious way. Electric nail designs with Santa Claus, Santa’s helpers, Christmas trees, Christmas tree decorations and more aren’t just for kids. You are allowed to flaunt these nail designs during the holiday season even if you are a grown woman.

Fun graphic nail designs that feature holiday motifs are something that everyone around you will love. Even your 5-year old niece will be impressed by your nails. If you want something unique, opt for holiday details that aren’t very popular. Take the Christmas lights nail design for example. You can use small decorative stones to create this nail design. For a bolder effect use stones in different colors. If you have time for experimenting, you can use the stones to create different shapes that imitate holiday motifs.

The snow is another signature element of the winter holidays.You can flaunt nails with snowflakes to pay tribute to the all-white idyllic situation during the holiday season. Metallic deep blue and icy-silver combo looks amazing especially if you add glitter and snowflake graphics.

For the ultimate holiday-inspired nails mix common holiday motifs with glitter. You are allowed to be over-the-top at this time of the year, so there is no reason to hesitate. It’s already December, so hurry up and schedule an appointment to get your nails done or stock up on fun nail products to experiment at home. Here are some of the possible ideas you could do to your nails during this holiday season.

Fashion and beauty trends are not only about clothing and makeup. Nails and accessories are a very important part of the woman’s appearance as well. If your nails are not on point, nothing feels right. And if you are a real fashionista that follows every new trend you have to know all the chic nail art designs for this season. Holidays are just around the corner so is officially glam time. You will have plenty of designs and colors to try.

This year fashion is all about unique and statement-making pieces. Most of the looks we see on fashion bloggers are exaggerated and involve maximalist jeans, shirts, coats and more. But nail art is moving in a different direction. Most of the trending nail designs this winter are minimalistic. That probably feels like the right way to go. Nails will balance out your over-the-top outfits.

But since holiday glam is always a must, you can flaunt glitter nails. If you are a real fan of sparkles, then you can mix both glitter and metallics. Nail accessories are always trending, so that is another way to elevate your manicure before the holidays.

The minimalistic nail designs are trending ever since the beginning of 2017. In winter you only need a small upgrade. You probably expect darker colors that fit the weather. But that will not be the case this season. The soft nude shades are here to make a strong statement. Also, the classic red is in style at every time of the year. You can choose any shade you like starting from fierce coral red to dark and burgundy tones. Another thing to add is some simple art that will only make your manicure more fun. It can be thin lines in another color, small dots or just a little sparkle.

When it comes to bolder shades, electric blue and gold or silver is the perfect match. Many celebrity nail artists did a fun French manicure using these colors and the results are stunning. Black is another classic shade that you must have at home. For the festive season, you can always match it with glitter in any color you want. Just like with the blue shade, this one also goes well with metallics.

Check out these gorgeous nail designs that you can try this winter. If you want to stand out, you’d better get creative and have the best manicure that fits the season.

These two statement shades will bring your manicure to a whole new level. Winter days are all about experimenting, so why not mix metallics with bold colors.

Okay, ladies is officially that time of the year when you can add glitter to everything without being judged. We know that there are gals that would have glitter from breakfast to dinner. Anyway, adding glitter to your makeup look might be a bit challenging. First, the fact that you don’t have many red-carpet-like events on your schedule might get in the way.

Second, glitter makeup looks are outstandingly gorgeous, but glitter can be messy at times. We all have to admit that glitter gets all over the place when we do our makeup. Plus you have to wake up at least an hour earlier in the morning to do a full face glam. And you can do this only if your workplace allows you to wear much makeup. So, it seems that sometimes you need to wait for a special occasion to wear glitter makeup.

Having all this in mind, we feel free to say that glitter nails are the best deal for all the glitter-obsessed gals out there. First of all, because you don’t have to deal with the mess if you get your nails done at the salon. Even if you do them by yourself, you’ll have to deal with the mess only once. And for a while, you will have cute nail design.

One of the chicest ways to flaunt a glitter mani is the nails-dip-in-glitter technique. This technique means that you have to add glitter only on the top part of your nails. It is a great way to tell the world that you get your fingers involved in everything glitter! If you want a more toned down glitter nail design opt for semi-clear, semi-glitter nail design. For a bolder effect chose contrasting colors. And finally, for the most dramatic results glitterize your nails from the first finger to the last. Choose your favorite color (not trying to influence your decision but royal blue, turquoise and millennial pink look insanely gorgeous in glitter version) and get glitter mani. This nail design is pretty simple. Try it at home if you don’t want to pay for a pro mani.

For extra glam mix glitter, rhinestones and other decorative elements for nails into one nail design. These over-the-top nail designs are only for the ones who don’t mind to have all the attention on their nails.

Take a look at these pretty glitter nail designs and pin the ones you want to copy.
