Almond Nail Inspo for a Cute Summer 2025 Look You’ll Want to Copy Instantly
What does summer 2025 look like on your fingertips? Imagine flowery breezes, citrus ends, and pastel moments that are just made to be enjoyed with a glass of something cold and a playlist that transports you to vacation mode. In case you have been swiping through Pinterest in search of nail ideas that are not overly trendy yet not basic, fun but also professional, you have come to the right article.
Almond nails are getting a main character moment, and, frankly, they earned it. The shape is feminine yet edgy, looks great on literally every hand shape, and it is the shape that will make you want to experiment with everything, including minimalist chic and blooming 3D gels. Below, I’m sharing a handful of styles I’ve been obsessing over lately—each with that “I screenshot this in 0.3 seconds” energy.
So, summer 2025 almond nail designs are the cutest, so let us explore some of them. Proceed with caution: by the time you reach the end of your scrolling you may just want to make a reservation at your next manicure.
Fresh Lemon French with Petal Detail
Something inescapably cheerful about yellow tips in summer–particularly when they are accompanied by a little floral twist. This collection transforms the traditional French and makes it a sunray moment, combining a sheer, transparent nude base with buttery yellow tips and two slight daisy-shaped 3D flowers. It is adorable, it is bright, and, frankly speaking, it is like the sunshine in a manicure form.
To mimic this appearance, I personally use OPI GelColor in “Exotic Birds Do Not Tweet” on the tips every time I want to achieve a bright, but not neon look. As a base, I adore Bio Seaweed Gel in Naked, it is sheer and not streaky. The 3D florals can be made using Blooming Gel and a dotting tool, or you can opt for tiny press-on charms if you’re not into DIY artistry.
I normally begin with a properly primed base: push back the cuticles, file into almond shape and use a rubber base to make them last long. The yellow French looks best when using a fine liner brush- again, it does not have to be perfect, it is supposed to feel soft and hand-made. Place little dots of gel in the positions you want the petals, cure half way, then with a fine brush, push them into position before completing the cure.
I don just feel like smiling when I think of this one. It is retro, in the same way as those lemon-sugar candies of your childhood, with a adult sheen. It’s been my go-to for brunches and sunny coffee runs. And no kidding, whenever I put on this set, someone will always pull me up to ask, “Where did you do your nails?”
Zesty Ombre Citrus Fade
This one’s got serious tropical vacay energy. It is the mani you put on when you already have your passport out and you are two cocktails in your mind. The gradient begins with a sheer blush and gradually fades into a bright tangy yellow. The thing that makes it chic is the pure almond form and the simplicity of it, no additional muss, no additional pigment, just saturated pigment and glossy finish.
Getting that soft blend requires a sponge (yep, like the makeup ones). I use Gelish in arctic freeze as my base and Le mini Macaron in Sunshine Yellow as my tip and gently dab till the fade appears smooth. Two thin coats are used to keep it clean and a no-wipe top coat seals the shine.
I have found out that the secret is to act fast and yet softly. You don blend until the gel is too hard so it really helps to do one nail at a time. And a small amount of acetone on a brush can also be used to set any bleeding of color at the cuticle to give that clean finish.
This would be the one set I choose if I had to choose one that says, I am living my best life. It also takes great pictures in the sun and whenever I have worn it to the beach, it simply fits. It is almost requiring a pair of cute anklet and some SPF lip balm, like.
Classic Pink with a Leopard Twist
This one is for you, in case you are a neutral-lover, yet you want to have a pop of personality. It is the cooler, French mani cousin: shiny almond pinks with just one accent nail in light mauve leopard print. Understated but far from boring. It is that type of set that will look equally great with your work laptop as well as with your favorite iced matcha.
As a base I applied Essie in Ballet Slippers and Madam Glam in Cover Pink. The leopard print is a blend of light taupe and a darker dusty rose- a good choice would be Orlys Mauvelous. The pattern can be freehanded or you can stamp it in case you want it to be consistent.
The design appears most attractive when the base is as smooth as possible hence buffing and dehydrating the nail plate prior to application is important. The leopard spot is most effective using a dotting tool and a very fine detailing brush- begin with irregular spots, then add some small curves around some of the spots to give the effect of fur.
This one I had my doubts about initially- it seemed a bit too put together compared to my normal summer style. But when I put a beige tank and big gold hoops with it? I was sold. It’s got that quiet confidence energy—sassy, but still serious.
Electric Swirl in Green and Yellow
Okay, now we’re stepping into bold territory. This yellow-and-green twist is like a lime popsicle on acid. It’s bold without being over-the-top, and that shiny finish? Immaculate. An ideal choice for a person that is in her maximalist summer mood- or at least wants to pretend to be one during a couple of weeks.
You’ll need opaque gel colors with strong pigment payoff. I applied Beetles Gel Polish in Lemon drop and Modelones Matcha, with a contrasting milky neutral. Your best friend here is a fine-tipped art brush–swirls require an assured touch and a certain amount of rhythm.
Begin with two coats of nude, cure, then begin the swirl in the centre and allow your brush to slide outwards in flowing motions like waves. Alternate the green and yellow as you go. This one’s a little high maintenance, but worth it.
I attended a rooftop party in this and the compliments did not stop. It is the type of set that induces one to dance or at least wave the hand a bit more theatrically whilst drinking. Lighthearted and playful and not at all what I would usually pick out- which is why I adore it.
Sunset Skies in Baby Blue and Pink
This ombre gradient between bubblegum pink and baby blue is so reminding us of a popsicle—and it is one of those nails that somehow looks good with everything. The transition is so smooth it almost looks airbrushed. It is ethereal, delicate, and more wearable than you might think, even without color being your thing.
The gradient used Aimeili Gel Polish in “Blush Petal” and DND in “Blue Bell”. These colours blend nicely into one another when sponged and sealed with a glossy top coat. I forwent the matte on this one as I was going more to that wet glowy finish.
To blend it perfectly, I worked in layers. Dab, cure, repeat. A bit of patience was required, yet the end result was well worth the time. My secret: apply a latex barrier or cuticle protector to make cleanup quick and the mixture clean.
This one is like a lollipop on your fingers. I wore it for a friend’s pool party and honestly, it made me feel like the main character of a summer coming-of-age movie. You can guess the atmosphere: the sun-kissed skin, a soft playlist in the background, and infinite daylight.
Bold Rainbow Ombre for Main Character Moments
It is the appearance of the people who are not subtle. Playful, juicy, and never apologetic about it, this rainbow ombre set fades through red to purple on every finger, making your hand the most fun mood ring ever. It has a kind of nostalgic quality to it, popsicles, carnival rides and Lisa Frank stickers. It’s maximalist summer in the best way.
All the colors are selected to be bright: the collection of Madam Glam called Summer Time has the ideal coral-to-mint gradient matches. At-home artists must have ombre sponges and gel blending brushes. Be sure to apply a tack-free top coat so that the colors do not dull- this mani should be shining.
It is actually quite a zen process of light taps with the sponge, blend, cure, repeat. I tend to do the pinky side in first, then the rainbow effect sweeps across the hand in a perfect arch. There is no hurry on the fade, this is a slow melt kind of thing. And keep a cleanup brush handy for cuticle edges.
I wore this to Pride Month celebrations and honestly? It kept up with the vibe of all the outfits I haphazardly created. When you are in the mood to have nails that draw attention, then this is it. It is the mani that makes you feel like you have already planned three impromptu road trips.
Glossy Fuchsia Statement Set
There are those days when you only want a single color, but it has to be good. This shiny, high-drama fuchsia takes the concept of less is more but make it loud to its extreme. The shape is almond, which is a classic silhouette, but the color is hot pink, which is very current, modern, and reminds of tanned hands and warm summer nights.
I applied OPI Strawberry Margarita to make it cooler and sealed it using The GelBottle Inc Extreme Shine Top Coat. These formulas provide that glassy look without accumulating in the cuticles. The secret to getting that deep, even pigment? Two very thin coats instead of one thick one.
Honestly, this one is as easy as it gets. Shape, buff, base coat, two coats color, top coat. It is lazy-girl, high-reward, and that kind of look that never truly goes out of fashion, even when trends are revolving at a rapid pace.
Every time I have this set on, I receive so many compliments even on individuals who, according to them, never pay attention to nails. It is my secret weapon when I have last minute events or beach weddings or even when I just need a pick me up that is not caffeine or carbs related.
Summer Dreams in Peach and Confetti
This one’s got playful energy written all over it—literally. Matte peach-orange beside soft blush tips, and that statement nail with the words summer dreams written on a background of colorful polka dots. It is a little bit nostalgic, fun, and whimsical, like what you would wear when you are biking to the boardwalk or thinking about a crush.
The coral matte was Zoya in the color Wendy with a matte topcoat. For the dotted nail, I used a white base (like Essie’s “Blanc”) and applied the letters using thin nail art stickers. The dots have been done using a dotting tool with pastel gel polishes- so easy and so adorable.
Pro tip: In case you are doing this look yourself, a small pencil eraser can be used instead of tools in case of the larger dots. Allow one color to dry in between applying another on top of it to avoid smudging. And do not hesitate to use a stamping plate in case you prefer a cleaner font than handwriting.
This set gave me big main-character-in-a-music-video energy. It’s playful and sweet without veering into childish. And it’s surprisingly wearable, I believed that the text is too much but with neutrals, it is just right.
Sunset French with a Pop of Coral
Talk about sunset in a manicure. This gradient French is mixing sunshine yellow into a hot orange coral and it is one of the most wearable interpretations of color that I have seen this season. The almond shape is keeping it feminine, and the tips are like a burst of golden hour light.
I adore Lights Lacquer- Slice of Life as the yellow and Olive & June- Clementine Crush as the tips. If you are doing it yourself then French tip guides can be used or you can freehand using a detail brush. A glossy top coat is mandatory, I always make sure I have it on.
Usually I begin with a super-thin brush and sketch the shape of the tip, and then fill in. After both colors have been applied and cured you can slightly blur the edge with a dry brush to give it that ombre look.
Each time I have performed some variation of this set, I have always gotten asked whether it was a press-on. It’s that clean. And it is just the thing when you need something bold yet a bit grown-up on the beach day or during a summer city walk.
Celestial Shimmer with Starry Details
This one is for you in case you are a bit more of a “soft glam” girlie. It’s delicate and dreamy, like cotton candy skies. The pastel blue color is metallic and ultra-reflective, whereas the pink polka dot accent and the small silver charm make it whimsical and full of character. It’s sweet, but there’s depth to it.
I applied Born Pretty Holographic Powder on top of CND Creekside to achieve that chrome finish. On the pink, I used Ballet Slippers by Essie and the dots were made using a toothpick dipped in white gel. The star charm? Easy stick-on from Daily Charme.
When the gel is sticky, you will apply the chrome powder using a sponge eyeshadow applicator. Immediately press, buff and top coat to seal the shine in. The dots are most easily done when you hold a small dotting tool, and balance your pinky on the table.
This appearance takes me back to staring at the stars on the beach- warm wind, starry sky and some glitter. It’s dainty but far from dull. I would dress it up to a rooftop dinner, an engagement shoot or to simply remind myself that details do make a difference.
Ocean Fade in Glossy Blue
This group is like being on the beach with your toes in the water as the sky fades into the ocean. It is a pristine vertical ombr e that goes between a nude that is almost invisible and a complete glossy ocean blue. Soft, seamless, and polished to perfection—literally.
To achieve that deep cobalt I applied DND Blueberry Muffin and blended it downwards on Essie Sheer Fantasy. The ombr e was done using light hand and soft sponge. The topcoat? Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat—it’s that good.
Do one nail at a time, and have a clean-up brush close by to make those cuticles perfect. Ombré can be fussy but forgiving if you’re patient. Attempt to tap rather than drag the sponge, this will maintain the gradient nice and tight.
I had the opportunity to wear this set when I went to the coast last month, and I swear every picture looked like an editorial shoot. It is beachy, but not in the most literal sense, classic, but not boring. If you’re a water sign? This one’s basically your personality in polish.
Neon French Tips With Attitude
Come on, this is a hot girl summer nail if I ever saw one. Traditional nude foundation, however with neon pink and lime green French tips that cannot be ignored. It is serving beach rave, rooftop glow-up, and possibly even some Y2K remix in the best possible way.
The pink is Gelish Tokyo a Go Go and the green is Color Club We Liming. I suggest applying a sheer base such as OPI Bubble Bath to make those brights stand out. The sharp French lines are most precise with thin liner brushes.
Celeb manicurist Julie Kandalec pro tip: when working with neon designs, it is always best to float your top coat over the design to avoid streaking the pigment. I follow that religiously—especially with high-contrast combos like this.
Whenever I put on this set, I see people admiring my hands. It’s bold without being over-designed, and just rebellious enough to be fun. Ideal to put in your concert calendar or your selfies by the pool that will come alive on the screen.
Sunspot Safari with Yellow Accents
It would be this mani if sunshine and safari had a baby. Full color nails in a bright yellow color are mixed with two accent fingers in a modern and bold leopard print. It is half tamed and jubilant, a bit bohemian, a bit mischievous, and completely surprising in summer.
On the solid nails I used China Glaze “Happy Go Lucky” and on the spotted ones I used Zoya’s “Jill” as a base and then used OPI “Black Onyx” and Essie “Hay There” to make the pattern. Nail vinyls are beneficial to those just starting, but one can freehand using a dotting tool and a detail brush.
Begin by applying nude base on your accent nails. Next come wonky circles in yellow, and outline some of them in black- not too neat, the beauty is in the organic lines. Top it off with a gel top coat to make everything clean.
This one seems like an ideal mani to sport on vacation, in particular, in case your closet is on the neutral and earthy side. I paired it with linen pants and a straw bag and felt as though I was in a trendy eco-resort somewhere in Tulum.
Dipped in Honey Gradient
Let’s end on a sweet note. This pale yellow ombr e begins lightly at the cuticle and gets darker towards the tip in a honeyed gold. It’s glossy, clean, and summery without screaming. Think golden hour, but for your nails.
Lights Lacquer Now & Later provides that juicy yellow pigment and I needed to apply it over OPI Bubble Bath to maintain a smooth transition. A foam makeup sponge can be used to press the gradient into position without severe lines.
I finish this one off always with a rubber base topcoat to seal the fade. It makes it more structured and the transition is like spreading butter even in broad daylight.
Each time I put on this mani, I feel that clean girl but make it warm energy. It looks amazing with gold jewelry and sun-kissed skin. I wore it to a Sunday farmer -market and happened to receive compliments of two total strangers- and a flower seller.
Violet Bloom with Checkerboard Charm
This one’s for the aesthetic girlies. A whimsical combination of matte lavender, holo grape sparkle, light checkerboard pinks and a lavender flower to bind it all together. It is surprising and artistic, but not too whimsical, so it seems like an Instagram mood board that was carefully selected.
Lavender fields by Olive & June and ILNP “Royalty” make those purples come alive. For the checkerboard, I used a liner brush and patience (no shortcuts here!). Add matte top coat to a few nails, and glossy to others, -contrasts make it interesting.
This one’s more advanced, but worth the time. I draw my checker pattern in pencil, and then paint in each square with a super-thin brush. Take breaks between coats so it doesn’t blur together.
This aesthetic was made to be worn on a sunny cafe, on a trip to the thrift store, or at an art gallery selfie. It is what I would put on when I have a creative job or simply want to appear as I do. And the color story makes me feel like I have a small bouquet in my hands, even though I have my phone in my hands.
Sweetheart Blue with a Y2K Twist
These baby blue almond nails are painted in hot pink hearts – half pop-art, half nostalgia-core. I adore the fact that the form makes it look feminine and soft, yet the color combination makes the entire atmosphere playful and refreshing. It’s bold without being loud, retro without feeling dated. This is the kind of mani that makes you want to grab your old flip phone (if only for the aesthetic).
To achieve this appearance I would use Essie Bikini So Teeny as a base, it is that wonderful soft-not-too-pastel blue. To do the hearts, a dotting tool and OPI Strawberry Margarita or any other bright fuchsia nail polish will do the trick. Top coat is essential, I apply Seche Vite to get that glass like finish.
The heart pattern is honestly a pattern that looks complicated, yet is so friendly. Begin with two adjacent circles dotted and then with a detail brush drag them to form a V. Repeat. Does not have to be perfect, it is the vibe that matters. As one pro nail artist Mei Kawajiri once remarked, imperfection can even make your design more lovable. This look proves it.
This duo reminds me of sticker books, candy bracelets and driving across the country with your best friend. It’s playful, it’s punchy, and somehow, still really wearable. I would completely pair this on a day trip by the pool or a relaxed rooftop brunch. What about you?
Love Letters in Red
This one’s for the romantics. Red almond nails are a classic that will never go out of style, but when you add white-pink accent nails, hand-drawn hearts and a script that says Love U? Game-changer. It gives Valentine’s energy without needing a reason. I love that it’s sentimental but still sleek.
This kind of look is most effortless when you combine polish and decals. I would do OPI Big Apple Red on the solid fingers, and Pink Sands (by Olive & June) on the accents. The hearts can be freehanded, but those mini sticker sets by ManiMe are also a favorite of mine – especially when you prefer more control.
Nail artist Julie Kandalec lives by sketching on nail art wording like this with a fine-tip nail art pen. Her tip? Allow one layer to dry before applying another – patience is rewarded when lettering. And, frankly speaking, it is not only about accuracy, it is about maintaining the mood. This mani is reminiscent of a hand-written note on scented paper.
When I wore this mani, I felt like I had a secret admirer – although that admirer was potentially just myself treating myself. It is flirty, slightly cheeky and matches everything including denim and a red slip dress. When I want to feel a bit romantic without announcing it, it goes without saying that I use it.
Watermelon Pop Summer
It is green, pink, and so juicy vibes – this one is a summer fun at its best. The vivid green base is combined with watermelon slice details that literally appear to be able to be picked off a picnic table. This nail design just radiates beach party energy. It’s fruity, loud, and unapologetically fun.
This design definitely takes a little prep. This will require three different shades of polish, China Glaze Grass is Lime Greener as the base, Orly Beach Cruiser as the pink rind and a nice white to separate the two. A nail art brush or stickers to do the rind detail, a dotting tool to put on the black watermelon seeds.
This is the trick: symmetry – although do not think too much about it. You’re not carving a real melon. Then just make that curved line on the top of the “slice” on each accent nail and leave the others plain. Let it dry completely between layers. A little patience can help you a lot, in case you are a DIY individual like myself.
This mani would cause me to smile whenever I would look at my hands. It took me back to backyard BBQs, slushies that were watermelon-flavored, and sunsets in late July. Your nails ought to be a holiday sometimes, don you think?
Sunshine Meets Seaside
The golden yellow and clear ocean blue glossy almond nails are so clean, yet so alive. It is wearing the sunshine and the sky at the same time, the ultimate combo happy for summer. And when you are that type of girl who runs after the sun, then this one is dedicated to you.
To achieve this gradient effect you can use polishes such as Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow and Essie Butler Please. Then just interchange the fingers or play a skittle blend when you feel inventive. It is neat enough to use in the office and yet it has sufficient zing to use on vacation photos.
Pro tip: when working with such bright colors as yellow, it is always good to cap your free edge, as it will chip out quicker. Nail educator Chelsea King suggests that one should always do two thin coats and seal the edge. It’s a small habit that makes a big difference.
This collection was like a fitting farewell to spring and a complete transition to summer. It’s warm, high-energy, and simple in the best way. No overthinking, just pure joy. And, frankly speaking, there are days when a bit of color therapy is just what the doctor ordered.
Purple Shimmer Chic
This one’s a bit cooler, moodier, and totally on trend. It was painted in a sheer base with soft purple French tips and two accent nails, smothered in iridescent lavender glitter. It is romantic, sophisticated and completely wearable, like the hazy dream on a summer night.
I wanted that soft ombr e French tip so I applied Zoya Bela as a base, and ILNP Lilac Bridges as a shimmer. A makeup sponge will assist in dabbing the glitter on the accents and leaving it soft. To prevent chipping and dullness, you may seal everything using a high-gloss top coat.
A trick from celeb manicurist Betina Goldstein? Apply two clear coats before any detailing – it will make the design lie out like glass. This appearance is particularly beautiful with medium almond shapes that are tapered softly. Not too long, not too short.
It was perfect to wear this mani out to a sunset dinner. It’s quiet luxury without screaming for attention. That’s kind of the theme this summer: balance. Having your nails tell a statement, yet only when somebody is actually listening.
Whispers of Butterfly Wings
This dainty almond foot is a creamy nude color with soft violet-colored butterfly decals on top. It is airy fairy but in a purposeful way, such as a garden fairy with meetings and a skincare routine. Minimal in palette, yet maximal in emotion, the design adds just the right amount of magic.
These are perfect with butterfly stickers or hand-painted butterflies, I have the Deco Miami Butterfly Kisses Decals which apply beautifully over a soft sheer base such as Essie Ballet Slippers. And then seal the whole thing with a UV-sealant coating to make it all last longer – even in humid heat.
In order to achieve that floating effect, be sure to apply the butterflies when your polish is completely dry then lock them in place with two coats of a clear gel topcoat. As nail tech Brittney Boyce formerly posted, topcoat layering is a good way to add depth, but also seal in the glow that makes designs pop. She wasn’t wrong.
It is one of those sets that make me feel pretty. Like, slow-down-and-smell-the-lavender pretty. It is romantic, yet not cloying – and it really does make your hands look expensive in the most low-key manner.
Berry Sweet All Over
This nail set is playfully perfect just like a strawberry. The bright reds and green leaves on a sheer nude ground feel “just picked at the farmers market”. And that one jumbo strawberry nail? Totally the main character. I adore the way it makes kitsch and style balanced with no efforts.
If you’re doing this at home, I’d grab OPI’s Alpine Snow for the base, and a rich cherry red like Sally Hansen Red-ical Rockstar for the berries. With a fine brush, paint on green stems using such color as Zoya Josie. The dotting tools are magic in making the seeds of the strawberry tidy.
This is most certainly one of those designs where less is more, evenly space the berries and do not make it too big. You can use stamping plates or nail stickers if you’re not into freehand. Sincerely, the entire vibe can be brought by one or two accent nails.
I have yet to wear a berry mani without receiving compliments, even from people who don’t even know me (at the checkout line). It’s such a feel-good design. Sweet, summery, and low-key flirty. The type of thing you put on a Sunday walk when you are slightly hoping to see someone attractive.
Petal Soft in Blush Pink
Sometimes simplicity just hits different. This almond manicure is a blush pink color that is timeless, polished, and can be worn all the time. It provides virtually undressed glamour with a good measure of “I care about myself.” I swear this color makes your hands look more polished, even when you’re three coffees deep and running late.
To achieve the flawless soft pink, Olive & June Pink Goldfish or OPI Bubble Bath will do the trick. And two coats will give you that nice jelly finish. Apply a clear coat of shiny finishing coat to give the depth and durability. moisturize those cuticles – this is a style that is all about clean lines and clean skin.
When I do this mani I forgo the nail art altogether and simply concentrate on shaping and shine. Prep with a light buffer first and spend some time on the almond tip. Nail artist Tom Bachik never skips on prep work, he even stated that the key to a perfect nude polish is a perfect nail bed. He’s right.
I come back to this mani again and again. It is the beauty version of that favorite knit sweater or lipstick you can always rely on: reliable, pretty and always flattering. And honestly, sometimes your nails just need to breathe.
Baby Blue Flame Tips
This baby blue flame print on top of a peachy nude base adds some heat in the coolest manner. It’s edgy without being aggressive, and the color combo feels like cotton candy and surf wax had a baby. The youthful take on French tips, however, much more interesting.
You’ll want a striping brush for this one. Apply a nude base, Lights Lacquer Matilda is very pretty, and then apply Color Club Take Me to Your Chateau over the flames. Make upward strokes to the middle of the nail and then thin them out and curve to appear natural.
Don not be shy – these fires are not as harsh as they seem. Nail teacher Sarah Bland recommends a dotting movement to draw your shape then join the lines. Then you can have a sense of the flow and then decide to do the polish.
I sported this on a beach day, and I actually stretched it throughout the whole week, it felt so good I did not want to remove it. It’s equal parts fun and fire. It is also one of those nail polishes that look fantastic holding a cold iced latte.
Blooming Gel Jewel Drops
A watercolor filled dream, this mani has gel blobs of blooms in gemstone shades of emerald, sapphire and amethyst, applied over sheer blush jellies with foil flakes scattered throughout. It is hectic in the most fashionable manner -as if one had abstract paintings on her fingers.
To get this dimensional look, you’ll need a blooming gel base, plus a few drops of colored blooming gels like Vetro Blooming Ink or Born Pretty Blooming Gel Color Set. You apply the colour over the wet gel base and then freeze the pattern using a UV lamp before it becomes too fluid. Add foil pieces for extra sparkle.
This is a bit of an advanced trick, though even as a beginner, you can achieve a beautiful result just by using two colors on each nail. Follow artist Hang Nguyen’s tip: “Don’t chase symmetry. Leave the gel to work its magic -the less you handle it the more pretty it will bloom.
This is my favorite look when I want to feel a little mysterious – it emits crystal energy, a touch of mermaidcore and a lot of cool-girl vibes. It’s a conversation starter, for sure. Like… is this nail art or a mood ring?
