Remember when nail art consisted of water-painted flowers and sparkly dragons? But after a short-lived moment in the early 2000s, Nail his art was off the grid for a while. In stark contrast to the size and abundance of ornate nails and intricate patterns, nail trends and manicures have remained simple, and sophisticated for the most part over the past decade. However, in the last couple of years, we have noticed that nail art has become a little more fun again. From colorful rainbow nails to chic donut glazed nails, here’s some nailspiration for your next trip to the salon.

These little daisies have Kaia Gerber’s stamp of approval. Start with a nude base of your choice and use a pointed tool or the end of a bobby pin to dot the flowers. Don’t forget to give the center of each flower a different shade for a confetti vibe. This no-fuss mani is perfect for a day date.

2. Fall Glam

Hailey Bieber likes donut-like skin and nails. Hailey was spotted flaunting glazed donut nails as a collaboration with nail artist Zora Ganzoligt at the Met Gala. Apply light pink nail pants and top them off with chrome dust for a beautiful, glazed look.

Remember the cookie monster from the show Sesame Street? The manicure is a fun way to relive your childhood. It has a blue base and a chocolate brown drip. Add glitter on top to glam it up,

Perfect for those with short nails. Multicolored nails are back. Think of the bright, bold colors you find when you unwrap a pack of gems. You can also choose different shades of one colour or multiple. Yellow to bright fuchsia. For best results, opt for a gel nail polish to really make those nails pop.

6. Emerald Tips

You are an absolute gem and deserve to have your nail match your vibe. For a mani like this, start with an almond shape and paint the tip green. Next, take some rhinestones and gently place them on the tip with glue or clear gel.
