Nails

Nail designs, colours and trends to screenshot for your next appointment — from quiet neutrals to statement nail art, for short and long nails.

How to use these nail ideas

Every roundup is organised so you can find a look fast: save the pins you love, then show your nail tech the photo along with the shape and length you want. Most designs can be adapted to gel, acrylic, BIAB or regular polish.

Choosing a colour that suits you

Warm skin tones tend to glow in terracotta, coral and gold-based shades, while cool undertones suit berry, blue-red and silver. Neutrals such as milky pink, soft beige and sheer mauve work on almost everyone and grow out gracefully.

Making your manicure last

Keep cuticles moisturised, wear gloves for cleaning, and refresh your top coat every few days for polish. Shorter, rounded shapes are the most practical for everyday life and chip less.
