If you need a dressier abstract nail design, this is a good approach to take: mix textures, shades and shimmer in a single design to add more dimension. Top your manicure with specks and glitter to make your abstract nail art pop for a special occasion.

Swirls are so trendy right now! You can create thin swirls to mimic leaves and twigs, making it the perfect nail art design for summer. You can also use chirpy colours like yellow and orange to mimic the summer sun or yummy popsicles — the options are endless.

If slender shapes are not your jam, you can go for bolder and thicker swirls in a statement colour like cherry red! The speckled shape looks so stunning over natural and freshly cleaned nails—a fiery look for the smouldering hot summer fun that lays ahead.

Love minimal designs? You’ll love this too. Apply clear nail paint on freshly buffed nails. Top up with minimal black abstract shapes and stick some metallic speckles in the black space, and you’re done. So simple, yet so chic!
