Monet McMichael and Hailey Bieber will always be my go-to girls for the latest trends. Whether you’re experiencing the most surreal post-graduate life like McMichael or heading up the most fabulous skin care brand like Bieber, your nails are the finishing touches to any and every look. Sure, this year we saw plenty of trends, like vanilla chrome nails and even tortoise shell nails, but nothing can compare to these trends that you must try as the 2024 new year approaches. If you’re anything like me, you must keep a good hand lotion and cuticle oil on deck at all times, bestie! And don’t worry if you’re not an expert-novice-nail technician, these trends are made for beginners just like me and you. Cancel that nail appointment and grab your tools for these fun 2024 nail trends to try. Say hello to these five nail art trends I’ve found for you to bring in the new year with!
Nothing beats a good time at the nail salon, but it’s time you saved those coins and invested in yourself. The new year is bringing in all things fabulous, fresh, and fierce, including your nails! Forget those same old designs that everybody is getting. You want to stand out, don’t you?! From stickers to initial nails, I’ve found the easiest way to level up your mani look as we go into 2024. You’ll thank me later, bestie!
- Initial Nails
-
Mrs. Bieber showed up and showed out at rhode’s holiday party! With a metallic mini dress and wrapped in a delicious red fur coat, Bieber was sure to bask in the festive splendor. But did you see her nails?! They were painted in her usual pinky-nude color, but on top of her ring fingernail, a rhinestone R was placed. To try, grab a sturdy nail glue or top coat and a bunch of letters, like these Vezocim Letter Nail Art Decorations ($8).
- Bow Nails
-
The TikTok girlies are in a pink bow mood, and I love it! These coquette-inspired nails scream, “I’m just a girl.” For the prettiest bow nails, grab these ASVNRES 3D Bow Nail Art Decorations ($9). Like the initial nail trend, these too can be applied with nail glue or top coat!
- Cheek Nails
-
Cheek nails are perfect for that blushing beauty who wants to experiment with more detailed looks. As I previously mentioned, these are great for beginners, too. First, apply a pinky nail polish. Next, apply a pinkier tone polish in the middle of your nails, and seal the deal with a strong top coat. If you’re looking for an all-inclusive set to accomplish this trend, try the GAOY Gel Nail Polish Kit ($24). Psst… it also comes with a UV light!
- The 15-minute Gel Manicure
-
This year, there’s no excuse for you to be late to your friend’s New Year’s Eve party! Try these Galorase Semi Cured Gel Nail Stickers ($16). You’ll be done in no time, and ready to dance the night away!
- Flower Nail Stickers
-
Yes, we’re in the dead of winter, but that doesn’t mean your nails have to be cold and boring! Take a tip from Monet McMichael and do some delicate nail art that reminds you of spring. These GSHWXD Flower Nail Stickers ($8) are truly splendid for every bestie or partner date!
