14 Totally Cute Gel Manicure Designs That'll Make You Wanna Do Your Nails ASAP
Need some inspo?
In the days of everyone jumping on social media to show off their newest nail designs, it is ESSENTIAL to keep up with the ever-evolving trends. The secret: Whether they showcase rainbow colors or sparkly metallics, these couture creations typically start with a gel manicure.
Gel nails are the most convenient solution for those who want to keep their nails on the cutting-edge of fashion and beauty. They are applied liked a regular polish, but they dry under an LED or UV light, which speeds up the drying process, resulting in a mani that lasts way longer. But not all gel manis are created equal. As a lifestyle blogger with a passion for beauty, I’m here to share my top 14 designs that I recommend to anyone looking for cute and trendy nails.
Gold Goddess
Since the beginning of time, gold has never gone out of style. It represents power, luxury and confidence, so you can’t go wrong by incorporating it into your nail design. This look is chic, especially with the line accents. It’s also fairly simple to create and looks absolutely gorgeous.
Cute in Camo
You’ve probably seen all the insta baddies and models wearing camo pants, camo phone cases… camo EVERYTHING. Well, that also includes nails. The trend has been swarming the internet and social media for months now, so no need to worry that the trend is “too new” for anyone in public to think these nails are cool.
Fierce Flames x Classy Checkered
Along with camo, flames and checkered designs have been at the top of the fashion game, with all our favorite celebs sporting the trends. These nails are so eye-catching, primarily because they combine the two trends in a way that is both avant garde and easy to wear.
Matte and Shiny At The Same Time
EVERYONE has gone crazy for matte lately, and I love this design that creates the perfect mix of the traditional shine with everyone’s new obsession. This unique version of a French mani provides a new twist on a very traditional design. You can pull it off with any color, but black is perfect for anyone looking for a chic, sophisticated aesthetic.
Crazy Cool Chrome
If you haven’t seen the colorful, chrome nails yet, you’re LATE! When they came out, they completely changed the nail game. My favorite thing about this design: The holographic effect looks different from every angle, giving you a multitude of looks with one fierce mani.
