We all wait for this time of the year so we can wear our favorite sparkling outfits and use glitter on daily basis. And they say that not a single look is complete without statement nails. So we have to use the opportunity and find the ideal nail art that fits the holiday theme. Instagram is always the perfect source of inspiration. That applies to fashion, beauty and of course nails.

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.

You can get a pro-like manicure without visiting the salon. The best thing is that you can get such manicure without much effort. Even if you are not the best at doing your nails there is still hope for you. The secret to a pro-like mani lays in your craft store. Get a bunch of tiny stickers that you like. Then take a look at the video to see how to recreate this cool manicure.

The first step is super easy. Apply two coats of any nail polish you like. If you want the stickers to get all the attention use white or some other neutral color. Lock the nail polish with a clear top coat. Then use tweezers to stick the tiny stickers on your nails. Add a bunch of different ones. At the end of the day, this look is all about having fun. Some of the stickers may be hanging over the edge of your nails. In this case, grab your cuticle trimmer to remove the ones that don’t fit perfectly.

Add beads to spice things up. Apply nail glue on several spots and place the beads on it. These tiny decorations will add life to your manicure. The final result is an intricate-like but super easy manicure.

You can’t go wrong because all you need to do is glue the stickers on your nails. Additionally, add the beads on several nails. We guarantee you will get a manicure that looks like is done by a pro. Feel free to experiment with the base color or maybe add some other decorations other than beads. Don’t forget to have fun along the way! You might even get requests to do this mani on some of your friends and family.

In case you were looking for a super cool way to upgrade your manicure, you should try doing matte nails. This type of nail art became popular recently, and now ladies are going crazy over it. Since fall is already here, we usually opt for darker colors. The matte nails, on the other hand, are very versatile. Even bright colors are acceptable for fall.

Burgundy is one of the most popular colors for fall. It is also one of the most beautiful and rich ones. If you want to flaunt matte mani, burgundy is the first shade to go for. There are also many patterns that you can add, starting with graphics, adding negative spaces, or even a minimalistic golden line. And if you love glitter, even better. Burgundy matte nails will look awesome if you add several glittery ones.

Another very cool thing to do is get ombre matte nails. The classic ombre is not a trend anymore. You will be surprised of how good your manicure will look. The matte nails can be done with both dark and bright shades.

If you decide to get plain matte nails, opt for a vivid hue. You can go with a bold orange one, magenta and even some shades of green. Black is one of the colors that ladies try to avoid for their manicure. But with the matte nails, it can look chic and elegant. You can add negative transparent spaces, that will make the design much more fun.

Check out this chic matte nail designs that can serve as an inspiration for your next manicure. If you are looking for the nail art that is perfect for fall, consider it found.

During Fashion Weeks besides hair and makeup, nails have their moment as well. Throughout the last few seasons, we were witnesses of many fun trends that became a part of the everyday life. The metallic nails and logo nails are still very popular. You can try some of these nails designs to update your fall manicure. The Spring 2018 shows during the NYFW gave us a lot of nail inspiration for the seasons that follow.

Most of the designers during the New York Fashion Week decided to do simple nail designs. So far the makeup and hair trends were mostly natural and relaxed, so obviously the nail art was there to follow. Libertine was an exception and threw a psychedelic show, with out-of-this-world nail designs.

Monse and Helmut Lang brought back a trend from last year. These two brands opted for logo nails that debuted at Balenciaga last year. Helmut showed long square nails that carried their logo in black letters. Monse, on the other hand, introduced clear, neat manicure with a red and white “M” letter.

The one designer that doesn’t do simple or ordinary is Philipp Plein. After playing with bold hairstyles and makeup, Plein did the same thing with the nail art. His models flaunted nude or black long nails, overly-accessorized with big crystals.

Here is a selection of the most beautiful nail trends that appeared on the runway during the SS 2018 New York Fashion Week shows.

You can buy metallic nail polishes but the holographic effect isn’t that strong. The fall 2017 fashion trends predict a very sparkly season, so the same applies to nails. If you don’t want to spend money on a manicure at the salon, we’ve got you covered. This 60-second video will teach you how to create the metallic nails at home!

As you can see you’ll only need a few things to create this cool fall manicure by yourself. A black nail polish, salon chrome kit, a small applicator to apply the chrome powder, cotton pad with alcohol to clean up around your nails and a top coat to lock everything in place. The process is relatively easy and won’t take much of your time.
