This nail art screams fun, bold and whimsical! From the 3D cushioned yellow smile to the 3D metallic snake, everything about this nail art is fresh and smashing! And of course, we cannot get enough of the wobbly checkered pattern, can we?

If you’re looking for a more understated shimmer look that looks high fashion AF, this is the nail art to go for. The curved black edges with a shimmering outline are finished off with white nail paint made to look like glitter, this nail look is GIVING! And did we mention, versatile?
03. 3D nails are the new normal

Seems like 2022 is the year for 3D nails and it’s so dope that even Dua Lipa is a fan! The metallic silver base with 3D globular shapes in metallic green and purple duo chrome is just the futuristic chic vibes we need.
04. Half filled Frenchie

There’s something about this nail art that gives an instant fairycore vibe. The half-filled Frenchie seems to be the next big thing for our minimalistic persona adding just the right amount of jazz to not look overpowering. And how cute is the little daisy on the side UwU!
05. Matte & black meet again

The matt nude base with an angled black paint finished off with the most intricate looking black butterfly is all the dark fairytale vibes we need. It looks so classy and understated with so much attention to detail. BRB booking a nail appointment to get this done RN.

As a skincare and makeup hoarder who watched The Devil Wears Prada a hundred times, this seems like the perfect place to be! A writer with a degree in fashion, I love everything beauty, fashion, art, and literature. When I’m not working, you will find me talking about energy cleansing, binge reading books and binge watching Kdramas while trying to select the right shade of lipstick to go grocery shopping!
