Trend #1: Aura Nails

Trend #2: Metallic Accents

Think of this trend as an update on the beloved squiggle, except with some texture and shine. Achieved by layering a builder gel on top of a traditional nail design, this 3D addition is perfect for the trendy client looking for something a little extra. Check out some of our fave looks below!

Trend #4: Elevated Black French

There’s nothing we love more than an upgrade on a classic and these elevated French manicures are just what we need. What do we love most about this look? It’s completely customizable! Add a gold shade for a two-tone look, small gems for extra sparkle or simply create an abstract design to take this look to the next level.
