Blog on: what you need to know about nail art trends in 2023

Nail art is a creative way to paint, decorate, enhance and embellish nails. It is a type of artwork that can be done on fingernails and toenails, usually aftermanicures and pedicures. Manicures and pedicures are beauty treatments that trim, shape and polish the nails.
Nail piercings and other jewellery-inspired materials will be big in 2023. Longer nails will replace the shorter styles that reigned in 2022- perfect for piercing with dangling diamante add-ons to make a statement. They should be combined with a clean, simple manicure to keep the focus on those accessories.

Nail art trends that are going to be huge in 2023

1. Subtle Chrome:- PChrome doesn't automatically mean bling. Chrome nails refer to the finish which has a metallic high-polish appearance. This can be achieved by using polish and a powder application or simply with stick-on nails. You can try a milky shade topped with chrome for a glazed, glossy finish.

2. Clean girl aesthetic: -The trend for healthy-looking hair followed a healthy period of intense grooming and maintenance in lockdown and now nails are following suit. Expect to see minimal manicures that show healthy, pristine nails buffed to perfection. Everywhere you look in 2023 shades like OPI's bubble bath and love is in the bare are perfect for clean, simple nails explains manicurist Iram Shellam. These colours hide any imperfection while enhancing the nails for a look that is clean well-manicured and healthy low maintenance everyday nails sorted.

3. French Manicure: - French manicures had a mini comeback last year but for 2023 they are even more desirable. French manicures will be barely there and very thin and natural for 2023. “Says Westmoreland of the updated classic. Think hardly noticeable, fine white tips that make hands and nails look chick and expensive. You'll also see these fine lines applied in reverse French just as simple and impactful.

4. Nail accents: - From rhinestones to glitter to playing with matte and glass topcoats, textured accents will continue to be popular in 2023 with an emphasis on playful designs. Whether it's a reverse French with a line of glitter hugging the cuticle or a simple crystal as a dot accent on each nail, these simple subtle additions are an easy way into the trend if nail art isn't for you.

5. Neutral Crystal Mani: - There's just something so stylish about nude nails, and this looks up the ante with a gem placed on each lip. This requires essentially no experience because all you have to do is paint your nails with your favourite neutral polish and then pop a sticky gem on top.

6. Natural nail idea - Simple smiley: - Nail stickers are all the rage these days because they're inspired by professional nail-art, but don't require a steady hand. These still give off the same vibe as a carefully drawn smiley, but without the time or expertise, it takes to draw on.

7. Neutral nail design - Dominos: - If your go-to Mani is in a pale pink polish shade, the easiest way for you to experiment with nail art is by using a nail dotting tool to add subtle black and white dots at the base of each nail. Of course, you can use any colour polish for the dots but I love the black-and-white vibe.

8. The Peekaboo Mani: - These nails are almost white, except for one tiny strip where the natural nail peeks through for a negative space moment. The crisp white colour keeps things fresh while the unpainted band helps to keep grown-out nails looking unintentional.

9. Natural-looking triangle nail design: - These nude nails are far from basic, thanks to the black graphic triangle placed in the corners. This one may take a little more dexterity than some of the other designs on this list but it is still well within the bounds of minimalist nail art.

10. Natural nails inspired by Lattes: - You know the beautiful swirl that happens when you add creamer to your morning espresso? That's what this reminds me of just look at those delicious layers of creamy white, caramel and chocolate Yum.

11. Natural-looking concrete nails: - There's no denying that concrete wall-inspired nails are pretty cool. My favourite part is the imperfect gold line that runs the length of the nail. It elevates the textured design.

12. Gradient blue hearts: - The gradient nail art is flirty and fun, but instead of painting the full nail with a different shade of blue polish these hearts do the trick. If blue isn't your hue, do not worry as this look can be done with any mix of colours.

13. The Safari Mani: - Full-on zebra print can be overwhelming to look at for 3+ weeks your Mani lasts but with little touches here and there, we promise you won't be getting sick of this design anytime soon. You can also tone this look down by only applying the zebra print to one nail instead of multiple as an accent nail.

14. Fire flame nails: - These nails are giving me Ed Hardy vibes in the best way possible. Early aught fashion is back after all. By keeping the French - Mani meets fire emoji design while the base polish is sheer, it maintains a level of taste, not tacky.

15. Natural-looking abstract nail art: - In between two shades and can't pick one that you like enough for a full Mani? This hire-end-there design is for you. You get a tiny taste of brown and cream on each nail art but the majority remains naked.

16. Cuticle art: - Whether you got your nails done at a salon or tried your literal hand at a DIY Mani, you can easily elevate the look by applying a few gems along your cuticles. This design also doubles as a way to buy you more time between mains because the gems can be used to cover your growth.
