Fashion Nails: Trends of 2021

Are you looking for a set of nails that will set you apart? Do you want to get in with the latest nail trends to try something new and exciting? If so, then you need to pile up some ideas for fashion nails that you can rock!

Doing so will update your style and give you nail art that people will notice. Every time you point somewhere or even wave your hand, people's eyes will admire your amazing nail designs.

See below for several amazing nail designs that you and your friends should try out the next time you hit up the nail salon!

Minimalism Nude Nails

Simplicity and minimalism is the latest trend across the board for women's fashion. Look no further than this simple manicure design.

It's created with a clear polish and a few strokes of white paint on two or three of your fingernails. The minimalism of this design keeps a clean aesthetic that will match any outfit you throw together. 

This is a perfect design for both your career and your lifestyle. It shows a hint of refinement and sophistication while staying humble.

Gingham Nail Design

Gingham patterns are all the rage, these days. Women are using it for their pants, blouses, bracelets, and even shoes when the occasion calls for it. 

Why not put that pattern on your nails as well? You can place it on your fingernails using a combination of white and any other color of your choosing. We recommend black, as it will make it easier for your nails to blend with any outfit you're wearing.

The beauty of this pattern is that it's popular, but not everyone dares to use it. You can get in on the fad without the fear of copying someone else in your office or friend circle.

Single Pop or Statement Nail Design

As the name would imply, this nail design allows you to make one finger pop and stand out from the rest of the crowd. Some like to call it a statement nail.

We recommend painting each of your nails white, then picking one finger on each hand to paint a shiny color, such as silver, black, gold, etc. If you really wanted, you could put a pattern on that single finger as well, whatever your preference is!

The irony is that, as simple of a nail art concept as this is, the options are virtually limitless. You and all of your friends can use this trend at the same time, then use a different pattern or paint on the "stand out" finger.

Pastel-Colored Nails

There's no subtle or eye-popping design in this one! Just a timeless design that can match any getup that you have.

Take your favorite color, purchase it in a pastel color, then run with it! It will give your nails the look of a professional manicure design. Perfect for the weekends or workdays alike.

Mix and match different colors. We like to use color psychology in the pastel nail colors that we choose so that it sends a subliminal message to all that lay eyes on them!

Gradient Pastel Nails

Perhaps one solid pastel color isn't what you're looking for. You want something a little more vivacious and exciting. Something that will get a compliment from both the boys and the girls!

If so, then take your needs to a professional nail salon and request a gradient nail design. You can choose any colors that you'd like, but we recommend using one cool color and one warm color for a beautiful combination of contrast and balance. It really is a sight to behold!

You might consider growing out your nails or investing in gel nail extensions to make the gradient design more distinguishable. This design doesn't turn out as well with shorter nail lengths.

Galaxy Nail Design

Do your loved ones consider you to have a personality that's out of this world? Are you always found guilty of having your head in the clouds? If so, embrace that with this awesome galaxy nail design. 

They can be made to show off sparkly stars, intergalactic glitter, and a beautiful blend of black and blue colors that would make an extraterrestrial blush!

What's shocking is that you can absolutely create this design at home. Thanks to their busy aesthetic, even if you mess up, no one will notice!

Solid Color and Geometric Shapes Design

Pick one light color of your choice and grab the white while you're at it. This design features beautiful geometric art that pops, yet blends perfectly with the base color that you've chosen.

To make it is simple. Paint your nails solid with the light color that you've chosen. Once it's dried, you can grab the white paint and create different geometric designs on each nail. Leave a nail or two without a design for contrast purposes.

Don't be surprised when people grab your hand to admire all of the different shapes you've created on each nail. After all, art is to be appreciated!
